About Madalina

Madalina grew up watching her parents and grandparents follow centuries old nourishing traditions both for the spirit as well as the body. She learned to value health benefits deriving from a balanced combination of openness to the spirit and a keen attention and awareness for the land.

Through her background, studies and continuous exploration of natural health, Madalina gained a new perspective on the nature of health and balanced living.

Before Reiki found her, she studied and taught Tai Ji and Chi Qong, studied herbs and homeopathy.

She became a Reiki Master and a Spiritual Healing Practitioner after a 550 hour training program with Margaret Ann Case at the Open Center. She continued her Reiki studies with Frans Stiene from the International House of Reiki where she obtained a second Master level.

She took an eight months course in Green Medicine with Peeka Trenkle and she also holds a certification in Holistic Health Counseling from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition which is accredited by the American Association of Drugless Practitioners and from the Teachers College of Columbia University.

After a successful career as a designer of children's books Madalina has decided to dedicate her time to healing practices. She is blending her knowledge of the visual arts, Reiki, food and herbs and helps her clients come to a new level of well being. She is dedicated to her own daily practice of movement and meditation which allow her to better serve the needs of her clients.

On her continuous journey toward mastery Madalina learned from many wonderful teachers. A Reiki lineage in an Eastern tradition represents the thread of knowledge passed on from teacher to student through out times.
