Jennifer Stano, Reiki Master

Jennifer Stano, Reiki Master

Jennifer began her journey in healing and energy work a decade ago, inspired by a deep passion for holistic health practices that address the integration of mind, body, and spirit. Her explorations into alternative modalities and esoteric teachings led her to begin master’s degree coursework at Energy Medicine University in Hermetic disciplines and Radiesthesia, along with Thought-Field Therapy, Remote Viewing, and more. She began her Reiki Training in 2017 with Rising Sun Reiki in Excelsior, Minnesota, and continued through the levels, completing a year-long apprenticeship for Level IV Master Teacher Training in 2019.  Jennifer has been a member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARP) since 2020. She is part of the Usui reiki lineage.

Biofield Tuning came into Jennifer’s life when she began using tuning forks in her Reiki practice. The shifts in clients’ energy fields were immediate, and she knew this powerful sound healing modality would play a significant role in her work. Jennifer completed her Biofield Tuning practitioner certification in 2024 and enjoys integrating this modality into her practice. 

As a practitioner, Jennifer is known for creating a safe and calming space for clients to deeply relax and connect with their inner guidance. She has been blessed to witness and experience miracles from this work and is grateful to be living a life of service where she can hold space for individuals on their own healing journeys. Our bodies are designed to heal, if we simply give them the correct tools. 

As a teacher, Jennifer is passionate about sharing her knowledge and love of Reiki with students. Learning Reiki can be empowering and life-altering, and Jennifer is blessed to guide students along this sacred journey. Helping individuals to connect with their inner healing abilities is among her greatest joys.
