About Me

Eloia, known in the professional world as M. Lori Torok, is a Reiki Master Teacher, Sound Healing Practitioner, and Bach Foundation Registered Practitioner (BFRP). She is the founder of Eloia Healing Arts | Temecula Reiki & Sound Therapy, where she offers spiritually grounded, heart-centered healing experiences through Reiki, sound baths, and guided meditations.

With a Bachelor’s degree in English Education and Theatre from Niagara University and a Master of Arts in Dance from SUNY Brockport, Eloia brings a unique integration of artistry, education, and energy medicine to her work.

Before stepping fully into the healing arts, Lori enjoyed a celebrated career as a professional dancer, singer, and actress in New York City, including performing as a Radio City Rockette (1993–1996) among 50+ other performance credits. She later became the Director of the Musical Theatre Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and served as Chair of Theatre Arts and Dance at Mt. San Jacinto College. She also founded and directed Avocado Dance Theatre and led the Dance Theatre Collective of Southern California, a nonprofit serving the community through dance and performance from 2011 to 2020.

Eloia founded her healing arts practice in 2014, answering a calling to bring Light, Presence, and Energy to those seeking a deeper connection with Life. She holds certifications as a Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui tradition, a Certified Medical Reiki Master (CMRM), and a Karuna Reiki® Holy Fire Reiki Master Teacher. She is also a certified sound therapist and a BFRP registered practitioner with the Bach Centre in Wallingford, England, as well as an End-of-Life doula, certified through the University of Vermont’s Osher Center for Integrative Health.

In addition, Eloia is an ordained minister and celebrant through Universal Life Church (ULC). She creates sacred, inclusive ceremonies—weddings, baptisms, memorials, and more—for individuals seeking meaning, healing, and celebration in all stages of life.

Lori has authored two books published by Eighth Ray Publishing — FORGIVENESS: Journey to a Clear Place (2023) and Reiki in Integrative Medicine (2025) and has written work for publications such as Reiki News Magazine, New Earth Consciousness, and Know Thyself; Heal Thyself, among others. She has appeared as an invited teacher for The Shift Network and has been featured in VoyageLA and RebelCanvas.

At Eloia Healing Arts, her offerings reflect a life dedicated to integration—of spirit and science, movement and stillness, art and energy.
