Margot Rawlinson is a Southern California native. She attended the University of California, Santa Barbara from 1998 through 2001, majoring in Psychology. She postponed finishing her degree in order to spend a year teaching English abroad for the Berlitz Language School. Margot lived in Frankfurt, Germany for this year, where she was able to hone her second language, German.

Upon her return to the United States, she changed her focus of study to Liberal Arts and completed her degree with a minor in Multicultural Education at California State University, Dominguez Hills. She graduated with honors in 2005.

During her schooling, Margot held various jobs. Some of these include working as a House Parent at Devereaux, a home for developmentally disabled girls in Santa Barbara, Assistant Preschool Teacher and Day Care Director at the Montessori School of Rancho Palos Verdes, and Office Assistant to a Speech and Language Pathologist in Torrance. She found herself passionately devoted to helping others, and especially likes working with children. Other positions she enjoyed involved working with animals and plants.

Margot became interested in health and wellness during her days at UCSB where she would often cook healthy meals for her friends and neighbors. She began a regular exercise routine and started to read and learn more about healthy living. It wasn't until 2006 that she began a Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition through Clayton College of Natural Health. She is currently nearing completion of this degree, and plans to earn a PhD in the same subject.

Margot first learned about energy healing when she was introduced to the Emotional Freedom Technique in 2003. She has been to various seminars and workshops to further her knowledge in this field, and studied EFT through DVD's from Gary Craig's website, www.emofree.com. She also became interested in and did research on light healing, deliberate creation and Reiki healing.

Margot was certified as an Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki I Practitioner in 2008. It was taught to her by a good friend of the family who urged her to use it on her father who was steadily nearing the end of his life. She was able to do this and feels that it was very helpful to him during this time of transition. Thereafter, she became very intrigued with the concept of Reiki healing. Margot then received the Reiki II attunement from her partner, Corrine, in November 2008 so that she may begin using the Reiki symbols in order to do distance healings. She enjoys sharing her ability with anyone who is open to it (even animals,) and has seen amazing results in the short time she has been using it.

Margot is currently working part-time as a Nanny for an amazing family with two daughters. She loves her job and is grateful for the extra time it allows her to devote to her studies and building her Reiki and Nutritional Consulting practice. She has learned that the best method of teaching is by example and wants to help those who are ready to find the healthy balance of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies.
