ANN RUANE
After earning my undergraduate degree in music education and a Master's degree in collaborative piano, I settled into a comfortable career teaching piano lessons. But life has a way of guiding us in unexpected directions, and before I knew it, I was receiving my Reiki I and II attunements with Rose Koremenos, alongside taking weekly classes on crystals and crystal healing with Diane Bloom.
My curiosity grew stronger with each step, leading me to receive the Munay-Ki Rites and continue my Reiki Master training. Always hungry for more, I graduated from the Free Spirit School of Integrated Energy Healing-Developing Consciousness program and became a Certified Teacher of Crystal Healing.
My journey with energy work began in 2007, and it has been transformative. Through the challenges I’ve faced, energy healing has been my constant source of support and grace. I’ve come to know myself more honestly than ever before. Uncovering limiting beliefs and healing deep-seated low self-esteem has been both daunting and rewarding. Releasing buried emotions from my body was challenging, but it was also deeply revealing. Energy healing has been my lifeline, reconnecting me with my true self.
I continue to learn and explore, allowing my curiosity and intuition to guide each new step in this ongoing journey.
When I was led to apply for a position as a peer support operator for a warm line, I felt both nervous and excited. Once I was hired and began taking calls, I saw the alignment between this work and the mission of Lux Eterna Healing. My training as a Certified Peer Specialist was transformative, particularly in the context of recovery from mental health and substance use challenges. My own lived experiences with mental health now empower me to support others as they navigate their own healing.
In addition to my work with Lux Eterna Healing, I remain passionate about piano playing. I enjoy performing solo concerts locally and sharing my original piano compositions. Composing music has been a gift I uncovered by listening to the whispers within me.
