My name is Sophie, and my purpose in life is to create beauty, harmony and light. I am doing this by being a Reiki practitioner and by creating jewelry for your body and soul.

My Reiki practice helps to balance and harmonize your body, your mind, and your emotions, and your spirit. My intention is for my jewelry to bring more love, more light, more peace, more beauty, and more of your heart's desires into your life. I joyfully infuse all of my creations with love, healing energy, and prayers.

Love, light, peace, and beauty

All Sparkles and Angels creations are one-of-a-kind or limited-edition items, made for you from fine materials, and handcrafted, of course, by yours truly. I make just 1 to 5 copies of each design, so there won’t be 921 other women wearing YOUR Sparkles and Angels earrings.

Would you like something made specifically and uniquely for you? I love custom orders, whether it's for everyday use, or a special event in your life, such as a wedding. Please don't hesitate to contact me.

I was born in South Vietnam and grew up there. I got my French Baccalaureate degree, then moved to the United States to further my education. After graduating from the University of Connecticut, and from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I worked as a computer programmer, and then as a Web site designer and producer.

My interest in wholistic healing started about fifteen years ago, when my beloved cat got seriously sick and modern medicine could not help him. I studied herbs, homeopathy, and crystals. I "discovered" Reiki in 2001, and was attuned to the first level of Reiki in March 2002. This event led to the beginning of my spiritual awakening, and marked the beginning of my personal healing journey.

Reiki also unleashed my creativity, and I started making suncatchers and jewelry out of beads and healing stones.

I left the corporate world in 2005, and I am now devoting my time fully to Reiki and jewelry.

In 2007 I got another opportunity to grow spiritually: breast cancer. This traumatic experience helped me to further open my heart, to become stronger as a person, to enjoy life more, to be grateful, and to enhance my creativity.

In order of importance: Zoe, Roni, Bisi, and Sophie

I live in Raleigh, NC with my three cats, Princess Zoe, Roni (as in Pepperoni) and Bisi (short for Olabisi, which means Bringer of Joy.) Zoe is my director of quality assurance, and the other two are in charge of morale, mischief, and mayhem.

I am also a Reiki Master/Teacher and practice Reiki, The Polarity Way under the name Jewels of Light Healing.
