I Did It!

Yesterday, I completed my training for Reiki Master-Teacher. It was an emotional and draining process, but now, it is done.

My journey into reiki began about a year ago, and I have seen the benefits of how it has improved not only my life, but the lives of others whom I have treated.

I still have more work to do, and the journey continues.

Meet Coach Caprio

I became a Life Coach because I believed that I was meant to work with women in transition. In my 50+ years, I have had to reinvent myself many, many times because of major life altering situations.

The more I spoke to people, the more I discovered that I was not alone. Yet so many people did not emerge from their tragedies as strong and empowered. They became stuck in a position that left them vulnerable and unhappy. It doesn't have to be that way. We all deserve to be be happy. We just have to figure out how to make that work for us.

I love her "no nonsense" style and the way she helps keep me focused on the issues at hand. I look forward to continuing our professional relationship! ...and you've earned every word, Mary. You're a terrific coach! " Kip - Christopher "Kip" HartmanDirecTax.com, Incorporated

Testimonial

"I have known and worked with Mary Caprio for two years as a member of a volunteer administrative committee at an online site for the widowed who are rebuilding their lives via remarriage/recoupling. I cannot overstate Mary’s empathy and sensitivity to those who have lost a spouse or life partner. Her own life experience informs her responses which are unfailingly kind and supportive to those experiencing grief and life after the loss of a loved one. That said, Mary’s special gift, in my opinion, is her ability to balance this empathy with solid, logical thinking. She has developed a reputation as a truth-teller and her guidance, advice and opinions are highly valued by members of the community. It is no small feat to be supportive while also offering common sense commentary – a balancing act that Mary negotiates elegantly. For those dealing with grief but beginning to move out into the world again or make changes in their lives, Mary’s guidance and advice are truly valuable. Her reasoned yet compassionate approach to life and negotiating life changes is an important asset to anyone fortunate enough to avail him/herself of it." Deborah Holloway

The Dragonfly

Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads, there lived a little water beetle in a community of water beetles. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few disturbances and interruptions. Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again. They knew when this happened; their friend was dead, gone forever. Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urge to climb up that stem. However, he was determined that he would not leave forever. He would come back and tell his friends what he had found at the top. When he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so warm, that he decided he must take a nap. As he slept, his body changed and when he woke up, he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying. So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw the beauty of a whole new world and a far superior way of life to what he had never known existed. Then he remembered his beetle friends and how they were thinking by now he was dead. He wanted to go back to tell them, and explain to them that he was now more alive than he had ever been before. His life had been fulfilled rather than ended. But, his new body would not go down into the water. He could not get back to tell his friends the good news. Then he understood that their time would come, when they, too, would know what he now knew. So, he raised his wings and flew off into his joyous new life! ~Author Unknown~_________________
