Renée Pitts, MSEd, LPCC-S, CDCA
​
I offer instruction at a monthly meditation group held at Blue Star Family Counseling Services, Inc. I have studied various meditation theories and techniques for over 25 years under several teachers in the United States. I have also traveled to India, Nepal, and Tibet to study ancient traditions of meditation, primarily settling in Tibetan Buddhism which is a rich tradition of mindfulness, body based awareness, and visualizations. My classes are based in helping my students understand the psychology of your own mind. With awareness we can identify our own thought and behavioral patterns that make us unwell. Through that awareness, with compassion, we can tap into a fundamental joy that is accessible to all. Please join me the second Wednesday of each month from 5:30 – 7:00 pm as we explore our own minds.

The Agama Institute in the south of Thailand was also a place of great transformation and learning where I lived and studied for a month intensive program. Each of these places along with many other wonderful teachers, has helped shape my practice and teachings. I hope to be able to pass along the benefits of

Hannah Richards, ART
​
My own spiritual healing journey began in 2018 where I began to tap into the use of Universal Energy to heal areas of my life that I was ready to transcend. These practices have changed me in miraculous ways and it is now my desire to guide others to experience this change within themselves.
​
I am a Reiki Master Teacher who has a passion for working with others to help them grow their spiritual life. Through the use of Reiki energy, the incorporation of elements (earth, air, fire, water), and simple grounding techniques I help my clients tune into their own spiritual understanding and create a solid foundation for them to experience new levels of growth & self-realization.
​
I currently offer Reiki trainings as well as distance & virtual reiki sessions.
