About me

Hello! I’m Margaret. I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you heal and find your inner light.

I have always had an affinity for all things healing related. My Ojibwe heritage, and a love of nature, have always resonated deeply within my soul, even during my earliest childhood memories. As a child, I could always be found in the woods. I would play for hours among the trees making up scenarios and being with the animals. I struggled with middle school and high school. I often felt like an outsider and alone. It was a hard time in my life.

After high school, I went to college in Colorado where the mountains helped heal me during some hard times. It was there that I found Reiki. In 1997, I became attuned to Reiki 1. The attunement is simply an initiation; you receive symbols and your Reiki journey begins. I was hooked. I bought my first Tarot deck, started doing yoga/dance, and meditation. I graduated from college with a Bachelor’s in Theater (one of my passions). I didn’t have a job, so I came back to my home state of Minnesota.

Back in Minnesota, I tried to find out where I fit in. I was told to “get a real job!”, so I tried out a few different jobs. I did youth work, admin work, food service, worked at a health club, and more admin work. I wasn’t finding my place in the world, I never felt like any place was ‘home’. This was during a time that many people didn’t understand or know what energy healing was. I still did my Reiki 1 and cards for a few people, but mostly kept it hidden. I never felt “safe” to show people the REAL me.

In 2008, I realized that I wanted to do something to help people. I went back to school, received my Masters in Counseling, and became a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I went into this field because I’ve always been a great listener and I want to genuinly help others. I had this dream of someday using my counseling background with my healing.

In 2011, I became pregnant and around 15 weeks, I was diagnosed with preeclampsia. This was a rough time for me, eventually spending time in the hospital on bedrest. My son was born via emergency c-section at 28 weeks and I had a very rough recovery. He spent 6 weeks at the NICU, and I was there each day with him. I sang to him, held him, read to him, and just watched him as he grew stronger. I became depressed/anxious, I lost myself, and had PTSD from the experience. When he came home from the hospital and I continued to stay stuck in this stage for a few years; simply taking it one day at a time.

In 2015, I had another son. This time I got to 37 weeks before I had another c-section. My son was born not breathing, but he started as soon as he was up near my face and heard my voice.

For the next few years, I was a mom. It was my life and I was doing it one day at a time. The sleepless night, the midnight feedings, the PT/OT/NICU appointments, cooking and feeding , cleaning, and struggling to stay afloat.

In 2017, I had two beautiful and healthy boys, but I felt like something was missing. Where was Margaret? What happened to the light that I once had? Every single day, I was overwhelmed with so many things. So I went to therapy, worked hard on myself, and did a lot of soul searching. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to do something more to help others, find a way to possibly help others who are struggling or have been in a similar situation. I wanted to figure out how to find a job in this field, but wasn’t ready to do mental health again.

I decided to enroll in Yoga school. Yoga has always been a saving grace for me. I felt like myself on the mat; many times crying in Savasana. During my training, I took courses in chakras, meditation, pranayama, yoga anatomy, and many more. Throughout my time in this program, I had many eye-opening experiences. I really got in tune with who I am and why I am here. I started to realize that I was on the right path. Sadly, my Yoga school experience wasn’t what I had hoped, but I did enjoy being around others who did yoga, found amazing teachers that worked with with energy/chakras, and fell in love with meditation.

I am confident that it is my divine purpose to help others in this way. I am excited to rise into my light and share my gifts of healing with others. I hope to help others find their light and shine in the world.

I started Rose Moon Healing to help others heal. Each healing session that I provide is unique and tailored to the individual. I look forward to our session together!
