Esme West

VRA Vice President

Esme (She, her, hers) is a Reiki Master/Teacher, living and practicing in Derby, Vermont, working from her healing center, Healing from the Heart Holistic Center for the past five years. She has been the Regional Coordinator for Orleans County, which was recently merged with Essex County due to their small sizes and lower population for two years.

Her Reiki journey began in 2014, and continues to date. The majority of her training and certification has been with William Rand, founder of the International Center for Reiki Training, and she is a Holy Fire Reiki Practitioner and also practices and teaches Karuna Reiki.
​
Additionally, from her healing center, Esme also offers Sound Therapy with Tibetan and Crystal Singing Bowls, and Solfeggio Forks, Shamanic Healing Sessions and Journey Training, Life Coaching and Counseling and Community Herbalism. She has a Bachelor's Degree in Metaphysical Science, and is also a licensed minister with the Metaphysical Ministry International.

She is a retired nurse, having worked primarily in geriatrics with Alzheimer's patients for about 30 years. Esme is also an aspiring author, currently working on her second book. She will be the first to tell you, though, her greatest achievement thus far has been being the mother of seven amazing children, and Nana to seven equally amazing grandchildren! She has been a Vermont resident of the beautiful Northeast Kingdom for the past forty years.

Esme is looking forward to serving on the VRA Board and is excited about the future possibilities for Reiki, and the Vermont Reiki Association even during these difficult times. Reiki always has, and always will, rise to the challenge!     Visit Esme at www.healingfromtheheart802.com.
