Reiki Master Teacher · Yoga Nidra Facilitator · Sound Healer · Thai Massage Sensei
Ginny Poole is a Reiki Master Teacher, certified Yoga Nidra facilitator, Sensei Master Therapist, and holistic health coach with over 25 years in the healing arts. Her approach blends hands-on energy healing, guided meditation, therapeutic bodywork, and sacred sound to help people find relief, balance, and peace.
"As a child I always felt a connection to magic, mysticism, ancient cultures, all things esoteric, feminine, exotic and the moon."
A New York native, Ginny spent 20 years as the founding Treatment Coordinator at the AAA Four Diamond Sanctuary Resort & Spa in Paradise Valley, Arizona — creating award-winning healing experiences that earned national recognition. She trained extensively in Thailand and India, studying traditional Thai massage, herbal compress therapy, Tok Sen vibrational healing, Tantra, and sacred ritual across three continents.
In 2024, she founded Shakti Rising Healing Space in Puerto Peñasco — a welcoming studio on the shores of the Sea of Cortez where people come together for rest, discovery, and genuine connection.
Whether you're looking for a weekly yoga class, a one-on-one healing session, a custom retreat, or simply a place to exhale — Ginny meets you exactly where you are.
"I believe everyone is in need of healing on some level. It is truly my life passion to help people feel more at home in their own bodies through education, healing, and self-care."
"I walked in not knowing what to expect and walked out feeling like a completely different person. Ginny has a gift — she creates a space where you feel safe enough to truly let go. The sound healing was unlike anything I've ever experienced."
"After losing my husband, I felt completely lost. A friend brought me to Ginny's studio and the Yoga Nidra session gave me the first real peace I'd felt in months. I've been coming back every week since. This place is truly special."
"My wife dragged me to a sound healing and I was skeptical, but within ten minutes I was more relaxed than I've been in years. Now we go together every week — it's become our favorite thing to do in Rocky Point."
"Ginny's Reiki sessions have helped me manage chronic pain in ways my doctors couldn't. She is warm, intuitive, and deeply knowledgeable. I recommend her to everyone I know."
