A year ago today, I worked with my first paying Reiki client. ๐ฉท๐๐ฟ
But what many of you didnโt see was everything that came before thatโฆ a lifetime of illness, the way it eroded my confidence, and then the years I spent finding my way back to the truth of who I am.
This path was not handed to me and it certainly wasn't easy. I found it within the darkness and years of solitude. Through meditation and connection with nature's seasonal energies, I uncovered a way to listen inward and finally took back my power, faced my shadows and turned it into something quite beautiful.
There are many of you who've been part of that unfolding. From an encouraging comment or conversation, to sharing my work online or holding space for me in moments of vulnerability. There are those of you who believed in the gifts I carry, helping me to rise when I was still learning how.
To my clientsโฆ thank you for trusting my warm hands, my energy, and the unseen spaces we meet in.
They say, "๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ต ๐ช๐ด ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ข๐ฏ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ ๐ง๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ..."
I truly did.
And I'm only just beginning... in my own gentle, snail-paced way.
From my heart to yours,
