About Sylvia

I used to do this work many years ago and would like to get back into this field. I was previously a CNA and I also have a Medical Assistant certificate. I was directed into a different type of healthcare where I worked with the mentally ill. I have a new found respect and understanding for this type of illness. I have now the opportunity to go back to school to get my CNA status renewed. I believe that God has directed my path back to this type of rewarding work. I have a loving and caring spirit and I love helping people. I feel that some people in life are just given a talent to be compassionate and caring individuals. I believe that I have this calling. I look forward to hearing from anyone that I can help out who needs a willing and understanding person who loves to serve others.

I am also a Reiki Level Practitioner 1 and also studying for my Reiki Level 2 and Master Certification. One of the greatest Reiki healing, health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the body's natural healing abilities (immune system), aids in better sleep and improves and maintains health. Reiki also balances the mind and emotions. I Just graduated from Pierpont Community and Technical College for Associate Degree Board of Governors in Business.
