Cherie Nath
Cherie Nath graduated with
a degree in Biotechnology and worked 3.5 years doing various kinds of
research (Liver, Breast Cancer, COPD). Despite the lofty goals of
these projects she found the work to be unfulfilling. Her
contribution was too small of a brick on too large of a wall. As a
result, Cherie wanted to be more involved in people’s health but not
within the confines of the traditional medical establishment. Her
journey lead her to enroll at Reiki Rays.
Upon
completion of her holistic wellness programs, Cherie was invited to join RRI as our Spiritual
Director, focusing on assisting our students in blending their
personal and spiritual lives. She specializes in Ayurvedic and Hindu
studies, and conducts local and private workshops on behalf of Reiki
Rays in Reiki, Yoga, Chakra Balancing, and Nutritional Consulting.

Jo-Ann Escott, CHHP
Jo-ann Escott is a holistic practitioner specializing in
animal communication. As a child, animals were always attracted to her
energy. Always a deep lover of animals, her journey with animal communication
began when she her feline companions exhibited behavioral issues that her
veterinarian determined were not due to a possible physical/medical issue.
She placed a call to an animal communicator who in turn spoke with her
feline children. The root of the behavioral issue was brought forth
and through dialogue between the communicator and her “kids”, a resolution
was found and the behavior ceased. That
day marked the beginning of Jo-ann’s profound new journey. After much research, classes,
and practice, Jo-ann started her animal communication practice six years
ago. Through her communication with animals, she is able to tap into their energy and can identify areas of discomfort, pain, and illness
they share with her,
and provide guidance to their owners in how to assist in bringing their
energies into balance. In addition to being an accomplished animal
communicator, Jo-ann is also a Reiki Master and Healing Touch for Animals
Practitioner.

Nicole Lanning
Nicole Lanning is a holistic practitioner specializing in new
energy forms, angel work and children's development of their natural born
abilities. As a child, Nicole knew she was different then others and could
hear her guardian angels. She had her first experience with Reiki when she
was in her teenage years, as well as worked on developing her clairaudient
abilities. After speaking with a dear friend, who is also a Reiki Master
and Shaman, Nicole worked on focusing more of her intent with Reiki and
other modular healings as well as her intuitive readings. This marked the
beginning of her new spiritual journey. She finally understood the
differences and what she was here to do - help others, share and spread
knowledge to as many as that wanted to learn. After Nicole's two children
were born, she started working more with children and their energies to
help develop them more and bring more awareness to a new generation. In
addition to being an accomplished Reiki Practitioner and Ordained
Minister, Nicole also offers intuitive readings using various tools,
Chakra Balancing, Aura Cleansing and Repair, as well as many other
