Wellness With Care Reiki Master Apprenticeship Graduates
Professionally, I have been a full-time Registered Nurse for 44 years. I have always used the “power of touch,” as a way to bring comfort to my patients, as well as a way to help calm their mind and body. My first experience with Reiki was in 2011, when it was being offered as part of a “pop-up” session during Nurses Week. I met Karyn when I began taking one of her yoga classes. When she offered a course in Reiki, I felt the time was right to learn more about this “life force energy.” I became certified as a Reiki Level I/II Practitioner in March/April 2023. I began practicing and incorporating what I learned about Reiki into my daily life, and found I became calmer, more centered, and more focused. I was intrigued by Mikao Usui’s teachings, and wanted to further study the hidden messages behind Reiki. In October 2025, I joined Karyn’s Reiki Master/Teacher Apprenticeship Program and became certified as a Reiki Master/Teacher in September 2026. Becoming a Reiki Master/Teacher, has opened the door for me to share the wonderful gift of Reiki in a more profound and meaningful way to myself, and the opportunity to share what I have learned with others, so they too may heal. Reiki has become a “way of life” for me, and I hope that it will for you as well.
In my free time, I enjoy baking, gardening, knitting, reading, photography, and traveling.
Farah Naqvi, Wellness With Care Reiki Master Graduate
My professional journey began as a software engineer in London before moving to the US with my family, where I transitioned to working in elementary Special Education. Though distinctly different, both fields taught me the vital skill of breaking down complex ideas into simple, clear, and digestible concepts. In 2024, an invitation to a Reiki class completely transformed my perspective. Once believing energy healing was reserved for a gifted few, I quickly realized that Reiki is a practical way of life accessible to anyone with the commitment to learn. For me, the Reiki Master Apprenticeship itself became a profound journey of self-discovery, shifting my perspective and showing me that it is ultimately a gentle tool for personal observation.
Today, I honor that growth by practicing within my local community. Outside of my practice, I cherish cooking, gardening, spending as much time as possible outdoors, and traveling with my family.
Dany Pelletier, Wellness With Care Reiki Master Graduate
Dany is a certified Reiki practitioner (since 2022) and a Reiki Master Teacher (RMT) since January 2026, based in Maynard, Massachusetts. Dany’s connection to Reiki began in 1997 in Montreal, during what he expected to be a spiritual reading but turned into a full Reiki treatment. He remembers it as both deeply relaxing and energizing—an experience that planted a “Reiki seed” that stayed with him for years. In 2022, a Reiki Level 1 class offered by Karyn Force felt like a clear calling, and it set him on a path of deeper study and practice. While he initially pursued the Reiki Master Teacher title to be more impactful with potential clients, the apprenticeship revealed something unexpected: a genuine love of teaching and supporting students as they grow.
In addition to his Reiki work, Dany is a self-employed IT systems administrator and enjoys camping, exploring New England with his wife, flying RC airplanes, photography, target shooting, and Tai Chi. He strives to live the Reiki precepts daily and to share Reiki in a grounded, respectful way—bringing calm, balance, and presence into everyday life.
Judy Cronenberg, Wellness With Care Reiki Master Graduate
I was first introduced to Reiki over ten years ago when a colleague of mine told me she practiced Reiki and gave me a quick overview of it as we were walking along, she asked if she could show me how it worked and placed her hand on my back, I felt a ripple go across and I was stunned. I packed that away for about ten years until I was at a yoga/reiki class with Karyn and one of her apprentices put their hands on my body and I felt something again. I decided then and there I needed to learn more about Reiki, and began training with Karyn until I reached the level of Reiki Master. Very soon after graduating I got a job at Concord Hospital in NH as the coordinator for Therapeutic Arts and Holistic Services, where along with coordinating other services I had the honor of giving Reiki to the patients at the hospital. I have since moved back to Massachusetts and currently work in senior living where my Reiki practice comes in useful for staff and residents alike. Reiki is a way of life for me and the I try to live the precepts every day, they help me to remain peaceful and live with intention and integrity.
