Hi!
I'm Gwynne and I'm a woman of many hats: running coach, intuitive healer, baker, you name it. Thank you for visiting my Betterfly page!


I've been practicing the art of Reiki since 2002. I became a certified Usui Reiki master practitioner/teacher in 2009 however, I have been a certified practitioner since 2007.

I'm also a RRCA certified running coach for a few years now, but have been running since high school and transitioned to distance running about a decade ago. I enjoy helping other people meet their fitness goals.

By trade I work in autoimmune disease research at the National Institutes of Health. I'm also an active member of my running club and head coach of a Beginning Women’s Program during the spring and assist with marathon training programs in the summer and winter. I'm an avid marathon runner, slowly turning ultra marathoner.

    "I used to run 15-20 miles a week and then I decided to train for a half marathon race. As my miles per week increased I started having problems with my right knee. Gwynne did an outstanding job helping me with the pain. At first I chuckled (in my mind) after I saw her put her hands over my knee. It was my first Reiki treatment, but within minutes I felt the pain being pushed out through my big right toe. Out of curiosity I opened my eyes to see what she was doing. Her hands were no longer in my knee but hovering over my foot. Laughter was suddenly replaced by astonishment: in less than 30 minutes the pain was almost gone. I've been a regular customer ever since. Recently I asked Gwynne to do Distance Reiki on me while I was on vacation. I just finished a half marathon race and my legs were sore. We didn’t have an agreed upon date but I kind of knew when she performed the treatment. One morning I woke up and my legs have never felt better. She sent me a voicemail after the treatment asking how I felt and explained what she saw during the treatment. She also asked if I've been drinking plenty of water. My answer of course was no, which explains the slight pain on my right foot as if everything was sucked out but there was some left over. Lesson learned: for best results do exactly what the practitioner tells you."

    "Gwynne is a reiki guru! I had a sharp pain in my neck and Gwynne helped to heal my neck quicker than anything else I tried. Gwynne is patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. She customized the reiki treatment to suit my needs, and it was a comfortable experience. I highly recommend going with Gwynne if you choose to do reiki as a healing practice. "
