Peaceful Healings was conceptualized in 2004, emanating from a desire to promote complementary, natural and peaceful methods of healing. The practice was founded in New York City by healing arts practitioner Leann Stella. From an early age, Leann had a strong interest in all types of natural healing and complementary therapies, the physics and principles of energy, meditative arts, spirituality, and a deep love and respect for nature and animals.
Leann began to delve deeply into studying complementary therapies and the disease process while attending college at New York University in New York City, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree.
Leann found herself intuitively using the energy from her hands to help promote healing, which prompted her to later pursue formal training in energy healing. She began Reiki training and became certified as a Level I Practitioner in 1998. In 2002 she went on to attain Level II certification, and after continued study and training earned the Advanced Reiki Training (ART) and Usui Reiki Master Certification in 2004. Leann also trained under William Lee Rand in 2007 to become a certified and registered Karuna Reiki® Master with the International Center for Reiki Training.
In addition, Leann is also a certified practitioner of EFT®, Quantum-Touch®, Healing Touch, Tong Ren and Magnified Healing®, as well as Bach® Flower Essences, Sound Healing, Aromatherapy & Natural Perfumery. She is an ordained inter-faith minister within the Order of Melchizedek, a member of the Sound Healers Association, and a registered member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals. She has appeared as a guest on cable television and regularly appears before groups as a presenter and guest speaker.
