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. She realized her vision – to create a healing
space for promoting personal, planetary and galactic peace – when she founded
Avanti Healing Arts®. 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.

"I
had used various healing methods similar to Japanese Reiki without
realizing it, not only with my clients but with my medicinal herbs
and my animals! Through Reiki training, I became aware of a system
that focused me in a way that has transformed my life. Reiki has provided
a level of stability, safety, and grounding – combined with celestial
guidance – that transcends any other form of healing that
I have experienced, and I feel completely blessed by its beauty.
I love to teach Reiki and to share its transcendent wisdom and
wonder with others. It is truly a way to discover the inner spirit
of healing.”
–Gianna Settin
