About Your Instructor:

Lydia Garcia

"I have always been drawn to gemstones, in the early 1990’s I began to learn about their properties and uses. Now I specialize in working with gemstone and crystals. The use of gemstones has enhanced my life as well as my family’s, friend’s and the clients in my Reiki business.
The divine led me to the Crystal Store in the early 1990’s. Ellen Poulette, who owned the store, guided and shared her knowledge with me. I also did a lot of research using many books."

Lydia Garcia has been working with Reiki since 1997 and she received her Reiki Master level in 2001.  Her teachers, in the Usui tradition, were Kris Kearns, and Cate LaBarre.  She received Reiki attunements from John Harvey Gray, one of the original Reiki Masters attuned by Hawayo Takata.  She has many years of experience in the health care field and it has been  her experience that using alternative methods of healing with the traditional methods mesh very well.  Lydia, with Suzanne Summers taught Reiki at Hartwick College and SUCO in Oneonta.  They have been a part of local groups of Reiki practitioners who gather in the area to offer introduction to Reiki with treatments.  They also offer Reiki workshops and treatments, both privately and in small groups.
