More about Crystal and how to connect with her:

Crystal Chinn is a Japanese American born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and currently resides in Colorado with her husband and 3 daughters. She found Reiki about 5 years ago after struggling with multiple miscarriages and fertility struggles. Her initial journey with Reiki was for self-healing purposes and she quickly fell in love with the community of people and was shocked to experience the level of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual healing from Reiki. When the pandemic hit, she started practicing Distance Reiki on family and friends and soon fell more in love with the power and simplicity of energy healing. Crystal specializes in Distance Reiki and works with clients over the phone and incorporates powerful meditations and visualizations to intensify the Reiki experience for her clients. Through this journey and with the assistance of Reiki energy, Crystal has learned to incorporate sound healing into her Reiki practice with Crystal Singing Bowls, and now offers group sound bath sessions in her community. Her goal is to empower her clients to take charge of their own energy with the blessings of Reiki and Sound Healing by teaching them about energetic boundaries, awareness and incorporating daily meditation practices to strengthen their mind, body and spirit.
