about kiri
Kiri is a multi faceted healer. With ten years and thousands of hours of experience as a yoga instructor, massage therapist, reiki practitioner, and retreat facilitator, her understanding of healing through the body is innate.
She has a background in traditional psychology and has undergone further studies in somatic psychology- carrying with her the belief that freedom is accessed through feeling and expression, through movement and the myriad of arts. Her heart and warmth are palpable forces felt in all that she shares.
