About Me

A Reiki Master, Reiki Master Teacher, Reflexologist, Yoga Teacher, and Avid Lover of Meditation and Pranayama

Biography

Chris Niedt has been interested in bringing together the worlds of science and spirituality since a young age. In 2008, he was trained in the natural healing art of Reiki (Usui Shiki Ryoho) by Leah Kremer before heading to Albright College. In 2012, Chris became certified in Reflexology by nationally renowned teacher, Bob Wolfe, to expand his bodywork knowledge. After years of practice, Chris became a Reiki Master Teacher in 2016 when taught by author and Reiki Master, Brett Bevell.

Interested in fitness of the mind, body and spirit, Chris has also studied yoga and meditation. He often attended Buddhist meditation retreats in Colorado while studying at Naropa University. Wanting to expand his practice and teach yoga, he completed his yoga certification in 2017 under direction of Heather Artman. He trained further in Kids yoga with Leslie Hadley. Chris has also received training in Restorative yoga by nationally renowned author and yogi, Jillian Pransky, and provided Reiki for some of her workshops.

Chris teaches in the Montgomery Township School District as a Paraprofessional in special education classrooms and has worked with ages 3 through 21 years old during his tenure. For many summers, he staffed The Wayfinder Experience (an Improv/Theater/LARP camp) that helps teens self empower themselves through play. Chris has also worked with Retribe, an organization that hosts Rite of Passage retreats for teens along with various other services.

Personal Statement

“I am guided in this life by four things: Play, Laughter, Love and Breath. My philosophy of life and personal growth is all thanks to my inner child which thrived despite hardships in life and kept me playing, laughing, and loving. I add Breath because it is often a forgotten aspect of our lives – an involuntary process we take for granted. People are often reminded to “just breathe” but they are already breathing – perhaps just unaware of it. When harnessed, the breath has helped me and can help you achieve amazing results.

"Making the decision to engage in psychotherapy is an important step in healing from traumatic life events that leave emotional wounds long into adulthood. I work with individuals who wish to address the impact of traumatic stress from early childhood experiences of relational, emotional, physical and sexual abuse as well as domestic violence, sexual assault and other traumatic events that occur in adolescence and adulthood. My approach to working with individuals suffering from traumatic stress comes from an understanding that trauma is stored in the body..."

Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Approved Clinical Supervisor

Lisa Zaneto, MA, LPC, NCC, ACS

"I have a great appreciation for the adolescent mind. Developmentally, adolescence is an important time of discovery in an individuals life that comes with many emotional junctures, milestone celebrations, and stages of growth. I believe that by creating a safe and non-judgmental environment, clients will feel supported during these times and increase personal confidence allowing them to make positive decisions, meet their goals and set the foundation for future success. I believe that bringing creative therapeutic techniques into sessions is very helpful especially when adolescents are having trouble verbalizing what they are feeling or experiencing. Bringing things like journaling, grounding, music and art into sessions increases clients sense of safety and encourages them to be able to bring any topics into the counseling session. Together, the client and I will work through symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, self-injurious behaviors, school related issues, and other stressors."
