About Us

At Avanti Healing Arts®, we seek to create harmony and promote wellness-consciousness. We offer quality training programs and treatment in the healing arts, and help ourselves and others to understand the innate wisdom and power born in all of us. We focus on helping others achieve a balance that fosters reflection, discovery, creation, and deep healing using peaceful, therapeutic means. Through Reiki, we are dedicated to promoting peace, Earth healing, and spiritual harmony among all beings.

Peace...
Our primary location began in a tranquil woodland country retreat in Northern Maine, USA. Now, it has expanded to encompass where-ever it is that we are invited to be in the moment---and that defines the space in which to renew yourself. So whether it is swimming from a private beach on a pristine lake, or walking on a forested path and snowshoeing on trails that meander through woods and mountains, or meditating in the desert or in a medicinal herb garden--- Reiki allows the presence of Spirit to create the perfect place for you to find peace and harmony.

Reiki Around
the World…
Avanti Healing Arts® is not just a name or a location. Moreso it is an approach to wellness consciousness that Gianna takes with her on the road whereever she travels to teach and provide treatment. She specializes in treatment for animals and the land. Besides Reiki classes, collaboration with experts in yoga, taichi, qigong, ayurvedic medicine, meditation, and healing from native perspectives are always part of the comprehensive approach from Avanti Healing Arts®. We also offer multimodal treatments that draw on psychotherapy, intuitive energy, somatic and movement and sound therapies.

To find our current location:, go to News and Reiki Notes, and find our class schedule on the Training page of this website.

About Gianna…
Dr. Gianna Settin, a Reiki Master-Teacher and psychologist with 25 years of clinical experience, chose to open a wellness center after a trip to Nepal in the late 1990s.

A Licensed Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training, and a Gendai Reiki-ho, Teate, and Karuna Reiki®master teacher, Gianna teaches all levels of Reiki for sentient beings across the United States and abroad – in English, French, and Italian.
From a family of musicians, she also worked professionally in Paris as a dancer. Calling on her experience, she developed and teaches Reiki Healing Dance™. In addition to teaching and providing therapy at Avanti Healing Arts® in Maine and Colorado, Gianna designs and presents workshops on Healing with the Elements©. Her approach to life – as to work – is spiritual and contemplative.
