About Me
Peace and Grace Dear Ones,
My journey to becoming a healer started more than 35 years ago. Wounds from personal trauma, and life experiences instinctively led me to look inward to find purpose and peace of mind. Seeking greater happiness, I found myself intuitively led to energy healing and spirituality. As a seeker I came to know to the power of healing through Reverend Berta Lopez and was honored to become one of her students. Reverend Lopez was a wise and knowledgeable clairvoyant, and mystic. My time with this phenomenal spiritualist and intuitive healer developed my innate abilities and sparked my desire to learn more about energy healing and mysticism.
With a newfound awareness of the unseen, multi-dimensional world we occupy I embarked on a 25-year journey of study for greater spiritual growth. The path eventually led me to African spirituality and the transformative healing power of reiki.
It was a great blessing to meet my next guide, Iya Gay Erickson a Yoruba initiate, community elder and priestess of Oshun. She became my Yoruba godmother twenty plus years ago. Through The African tradition of Ifa, I learned that I am also a daughter of Oshun. My godmother Iya Gay shared with me, her wisdom of Oshun, the Orisha’s, rituals and the sacred connection we have with our ancestors. I learned the art of healing and transformation with the use of sacred prayers, plants and herbs, and ancestral guidance. Destiny then connected me to the African spiritual practice of Palo Mayombe, and I received initiation as a Palo priestess. Through Indigenous African religions and culture, I became an adept spiritualist, and my knowledge of metaphysical practices gave me grounding and helped me to become more self-aware and purposeful.
My attunement as a Reiki practitioner came to me by chance when I met author and reiki master/teacher Reverend Michael Carter in 2002. After six months of study, Michael initiated me as a master/teacher in, “Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki”, under the lineage of the honorable teacher, Hawayo Takata. Reiki is an ancient vibrational, healing and transformation art. It is a gentle but powerful alternative medicine. It is a holistic modality that promotes healing and greatly benefits the body, mind, spirit, and emotions.
The growth of my reiki practice inspired me to search for a school that offered a curriculum that catered to my desire for knowledge and my blossoming passion for alternative medicine modalities. I found The New York College of Health Professions and started my studies in massage therapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. I completed my training and graduated in 2018.
My healing practice is strongly centered around the needs of my clients and patients. I build partnerships and programs that help you, or your organization meet your wellness goals and health desires. Treatment plans and group offerings are flexible, versatile, and provided in an atmosphere of trust in a safe space to nourish and support your body, mind and spirit while receiving trauma informed holistic care. As a resolute transformation healer my life work is dedicated to helping all who seek my expertise and advice.
My purpose is to be of service to our community at large, helping all who desire to live more consciously, joyfully and balanced through natural healing. The Oshun’s Touch healing model was created to help you to deeply relax, rejuvenate, and reset your nervous system, this includes:
Meditation ~ Mindfulness ~ Holistic Nutrition ~ Movement ~ Breath-Work ~ Intuitive Guidance ~ Lifestyle Adjustment ~ Bodywork ~ Self-Care ~ Trauma Healing ~ Intention
I hold a Master of Science Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and an A.O.S Degree and licensure in Massage Therapy. I am a Certified Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master, Teacher involved in the study and practice of Reiki for two decades. I received my Certification as a Hatha Yoga Teacher in 2011. As an adjunct professor at The New York College of Health Professions, I taught yoga as a healing art and introduced Hatha Yoga, meditation and breath-work to tweens and teens at the Parkchester Boys and Girls Club. I held both positions for a decade. I am also a graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology and have an A.A.S. Degree in Textile Design and enjoyed a successful 15-year career in the fashion industry before finding my true calling in alternative medicine and holistic healing.
AYNI HEALING COLLECTIVE @ The Kota-Alliance
Integrative Wellness Program Coordinator, Alternative Medicine Practitioner, January 2024 – Present
Teresa Mateus and I created the Ayni Healing Collective in January 2024 under the umbrella of the Kota-Alliance organization. Ayni (eye-knee) is a Quechua word, which means “today for you, tomorrow for me”. It is a way of explaining the interconnectedness of all beings – including humans, nature and the spiritual relationship we share between us and the universe. Our work is grounded in the empowerment of young folx through multi-generational community-building and healing centering the ethic of liberation through holistic health, trauma-conscious care, sharing BIPOC/QTBIPOC ancestral wisdom and building collective power for social change and racial, gender and sexual equity. https://www.kota-alliance.org/ayni-healing-collective
THE RECIPROCITY FOUNDATION, NYC
Clinic Coordinator and Director of Healing, August 2018 – December 2023
Integrative Wellness Programs Curator, Trauma Healing Facilitator, Clinic Coordinator, Alternative Medicine Practitioner.
Outreach to local CBOs. Hires, and coordinates with alternative, healing teams for on and off-site wellness clinics and transformational retreats for BIPOC/LGBTQIA+ young adults, CBO staff, and Reciprocity clients. The Reciprocity Foundation was an award-winning community-based organization, that served disenfranchised young adults in the greater Manhattan area. The leadership welcomed me into the organization with open arms over a decade ago. My relationship with them expanded as my skills in alternative, integrative medicine grew. Reciprocity was a safe space where I practiced and honed my skills, expertise, and knowledge as an energy healer and transformation facilitator. In September of 2021, I was promoted to the position of Director of Healing responsible for designing and facilitating programs and retreats and provided healing services to The Good Shepherds/Chelsea Foyer, McLauglin House, Ali Forney Center, Trinity House, Heart Shares St Vincent’s, and NYC D.O.E.

Testimonials
Here is what some of her clients have to say:
I thought of you yesterday and I said that I needed to text to update you with what’s going on with me. The last time I sent you pictures showing the classes that I was taking with aerial yoga and Pilates. Only to reiterate what you spoke to me saying that I will become a gym rat which I couldn’t see at the time. I am still taking the classes and enjoying them. I’ve lost 16 pounds and my pressure went from 135 / 80 to a 120 / 70.
Another thing that you said to me was to dream BIG. And I really didn’t know what to think of that until about a month and a 1/2 ago. I saw an advertisement to audition for a part 4 A Tyler Perry movie. Needless to say it was a bogus interview. But then it just opened me up creatively to revisit my Writing. About 25 years ago I wrote a fiction novel. And about 15 years ago I wrote an animated screenplay.
At the time I was content with not doing anything with either one. For the last 4 weeks I’ve been taking a screen writers workshop and I am so excited with it. I’m looking to push forward to see where I can go with this in hopes to possibly have my story become a movie.
Thank you so much for all insight and advice. I will continue to update you. There are still a couple other things that I’m looking to manifest with what you told me. Thanks again God-bless and be safe. Peace

Donna Smith, Client
I have known Deena for many years, she is my amazing massage therapist. I always look forward to a monthly session with her. In 2021, I had a horrible flareup with IBS and knowing the other areas of expertise, I had to call her.
We incorporated reiki, acupuncture, and yoga into a weekly session with daily exercises to do on my own. I received a text message with sweet affirmations and YouTube videos to follow for my morning routine. Deena went beyond to help me get back to feeling myself. Her areas of practice are vast. I highly recommend working with Deena.
Elissa Peer, Client
Hello, Oshun was my yoga teacher in massage school, and I always loved her whole vibe and patience. Her extensive knowledge in herbs and acupuncture skills has kept me coming back as a massage client well after graduating. Whenever I’m feeling out of whack and need a tune up, she is the first person I call. I love that not only does her healing methods work at the moment, but she can see what my body needs abs prescribe the right herbs and remedies for me to continue to heal. 10/10 I recommend her for your healing needs!
