Shima Chayvet
FOUNDER, HEALER, TEACHER
Reiki Master Teacher & Healer since 2005. Tarot Reader, Mediumship
While working as a Vice President in the home care arena Shima was searching for something as a diversion to relieve some of the stress she was having on a job that took up most of her time. In a conversation with a friend she found out there was an Energy Healing Class at Westchester Community College being led by Gene Krackehl, Healer, Composer and Author. Instantly she fell in love and became involved in this concept of Energy Healing. Shima was certified as an Energy Healer in May of 2005. In November of the same year Shima found out there was a Reiki 1 and 2 certification course being offered at Wainwright House in Rye. Curious she went to the class and met Libby Barnett who studied and was attuned by John Harvey Gray one of the original Reiki Masters who was taught in this country in 1973 by Hawayo Takata. Libby then became attuned as a Reiki Master by Judy Carol Stewart who was the 35th Reiki Master. Shima took the Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 class with Libby and in 2006 Shima went to New Hampshire and was attuned to Reiki Master by Libby Barnett. In 2008 Shima again went back to Libby to become attuned as a Master of Reiki Masters.
As you can see Shima has a rare and close connection to the original 22 Reiki Masters attuned in this country and believes in maintaining the integrity of this ancient hands on healing technique. Over the years Shima has taught more than 150 students to this art and attuned many to become Reiki Masters. She is now holding classes for children in Reiki 1 and is currently teaching Reiki in an after school program in Westchester. She was asked to be a guest on a local TV show by the host, Colette Lopane-Capella of New Day Vitality speaking about Reiki and it’s benefits. Many come to Shima for Reiki Healing on a mental, emotional and spiritual level. Shima believes that Reiki is not just something that you do it is who you become because of it. Eventually Shima left home care with a dream to eventually open a healing arts center that would serve the community and those needing to be inspired to enlighten their minds, heal their bodies and nourish their souls. One step into Universal Healing Arts at 4 Crestview Avenue in Cortlandt Manor it becomes apparent that the dream has become realized.
