Sandy Jeffries
Reiki Practitioner
I was introduced to Reiki by a friend after having trouble with a frozen shoulder that was refusing to budge, even after months of physical therapy and other western treatments. After my first Reiki treatment, I could move my shoulder several inches higher than previously measured. I continued with the Reiki treatments and my shoulder continued to improve. I didn't know how or why Reiki worked, but I was convinced it did.
A few years after my introduction to Reiki, I decided to learn how to do this remarkable therapy and found my teacher. This was in 2008. I opened my Reiki practice in November 2009.
Prior to this my primary business was fiber art, specifically paper sculptures and contemporary baskets. And, prior to my art career, I spent 15 years as a nurse. I worked primarily in labor and delivery, and also was a member of a nursing research group, with several published articles.

Secretary
Nancy Mosher
Nancy Mosher is an Advanced Level Reiki practitioner in the Usui tradition. She began practicing Reiki in 2009 after retiring from her non-profit management job of 31 years. She volunteers at the Respite House, the People's Health and Wellness Clinic in Barre an at Central Vermont Medical Center when opportunities arise. She has a private Reiki practice in downtown Montpelier. Nancy wants to make her organizational and leadership skills available to the VRA, because she wants more people in Vermont to experience the radiance and gentle power of Reiki energy, and believes a vibrant, inclusive and active state association is the key to actualizing that goal.
Nancy lives in Barre, is married with two grown children, and is also studying to be an archetypal dreamwork therapist.
