Self Love First

 
 

No one can teach you how to grow, but I can show you how I did.

Hello, my name is Sagine.

I am a Physician Assistant, certified Reiki Practitioner and the founder & CEO of ALV.

ALV stands for “A Little Vanity”. Our mantra is “Self Love First.” The purpose of ALV is to guide individuals who desire assistance in self discovery, growth, career, travel and overall life. ALV will act as a road map to get you to your destination. The name of the company is special to me, it is named after my toy poodle Vanity. Her name was chosen because at that time in my life- 13 years ago, I gave her what I could not give myself. I spoiled her and loved her the way that I could not spoil and love myself. She was my beautiful “sin”, since Vanity is listed as one of the 7 deadly sins. I was not ashamed of it but why was I ashamed to put myself first? Society can make us feel guilty about making our needs a priority, especially women. It is important, now more than ever to understand that self love is not selfish and that self care is an intricate part of healing; mentally AND physically.

My purpose in starting ALV is to instill that idea into the minds and hearts of as many people as I can and help them become the best version of themselves.

A little care goes a long way! I believe A little Vanity can and will help you get there.

Medical Experience & Training

I have 15+ years of medical experience from being a Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse, and Physician Assistant. I have worked in various settings from nursing homes, rehab facilities, medical- surgical and telemetry units, house call visits, urgent care, the emergency department and tele- medicine. I have seen patients in all five boroughs of NY, and Long Island, and have experience with all populations from pediatrics to geriatrics. I enjoy learning and finding opportunities where I can become more independent in my career. I am happy to say that I will be able to add more services to ALV soon!

I was first exposed to Reiki 8 years ago by a medical and holistic doctor and had several sessions during that time that helped change my life in ways that I can not explain. In 2019, I had a calling to obtain the first level of reiki training. At that time I only wanted to perform treatments for myself. The following year, there was a strong desire to perform treatments for others, and I went back to my reiki master and obtained the second level of reiki training. My desire to offer reiki services continued to grow but due to the pandemic my ability to see clients in office decreased. The need for reiki during this time, and the requests from my clients for more availability encouraged me to move to a new location to make seeing clients more feasible. I also offer absent (distant) reiki treatments as well for those who are out of town or prefer not to come to the office.
