My personal story and motivation for opening a Reiki healing space.
Thank you all for reading my story today. It is with great appreciation that you are taking the time to hear what I have to say about my desire to see health and wellness become an evolving system to better support the whole-self, mind, body and spirit.
Over the past couple of decades I was beginning to heal myself, long before I understood what I was doing and could make the connections. The major events in my life that led me to divorce, quitting a full-time career and going back to college were only the outside outcomes of what was going on inside me. I spent years going through mental and emotional challenges until I slowly began to understand the cause and effect of my thoughts, beliefs and actions.
I spent so much time looking to the next thing without ever taking the time to be present in what I was doing. I never fully appreciated what I had at the time I had it. My inner world - my mind, was in a state of chaos, always looking for more, never satisfied.
In 2011, I nearly took my life. I was in severe depression and hiding it from everyone I knew. I didn’t want to be a burden or ruin someone else’s day. I put on a smile and kept moving forward in pain and suffering. By 2012, I quit a full-time career as a graphic designer to go back to college and pursue another career path - Zoology and working with animals. Over the next ten years, I went through the highs and lows of the mental and emotional rollercoaster, never fully healing from depression, and instead living from survival - doing what I needed to do to live. In 2021, I contemplated taking my life again. By 2022, I had experienced a relief and breath of fresh air I hadn’t experienced up until this point. A friend gave me a book he wrote called Awakening to Oneness, the Bartholomew Effect.
Again, I didn’t fully understand what was happening to me, but my body was alive with energy I hadn’t felt up until this point. I felt awake, alive, relieved, peaceful and high.
Fast forward to a couple of years ago, I made bold decisions to take my healing into my own hands. I found Reiki - a healing modality that made me see my current mental, emotional and physical state and helped me remember who I truly am. In my first class, a flood of emotions and toxins were released from me and something within me wanted more. I wanted to be healed from all my pain, stress and genetic disease. A part of me knew and understood it was possible, yet my mind still had doubts.
With the healing methods of Reiki and Muscle Testing, I have been able to resolve and heal my
- Spiritual wellbeing - knowing who I authentically am which leads to heal anything
- Emotional wellbeing - moving from identity to understanding
- Mental wellbeing - changing my perspective in thoughts and beliefs
- Energy wellbeing - healing ancestral and generational energy
- Physical wellbeing
Stomach pain gone
Weight loss of ~5-8 lbs of stress weight
Removed Radon that caused a chronic, underlying
inflammation that showed up as
Lower chapped lip
Bladder and uterus issues
Harsh menstrual cycles
Bloating and indigestion
Constipation
Acne
All resolved now
For the past two years, I have been healing a Genetic Disease - MEN1 (Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1)
I have years of imaging and blood work with last year resulting in a first time drop of my prolactin hormone without medication.
I've been taking supplements for about 1 month now to help clear and rebalance my pituitary gland, with the help of Family Tree Nutritional Health & Wellness and truly sensing I am rebalancing and being free from this disease. And finally, healing other body pains and aches as they arise.
The use of Reiki has profoundly changed my life and now I use it to help others. Years of inner-work, healing my mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual states has resulted in healing my physical state. The physical symptoms are often the last to show up and can resolve quickly once awareness of the root cause is known.
Reiki is the universal life force energy that gives us breath and life. It is Divine and heals the mind, body and spirit. It is the true form of Love.
As I heal, I further help heal my clients because we are all connected through the universal energy that flows through and around us.
Below are examples of healing my clients have mentioned to me.
Most feel drawn to come in, not fully understanding why, but are curious how Reiki works. They may feel heavy, stressed, anxious, emotional, frazzled, confused, cluttered, overwhelmed, not here, out of body or above their head, frozen, nothing. Some come in with childhood trauma, feeling shut down, abused mentally, emotionally and physically.
Some clients have active physical issues and diseases they are wanting to heal from (tumors, STDs, arthritis, gout, inflammation, shoulder and neck pain)
Some clients have had other energies and entities they want released.
Client: comes in to have built up energy from relatives and other people released from their body
Client: comes in to work through stigma of STD and childhood trauma - found a poignant memory that released a floodgate of pent up emotions, allowing them to move forward without carrying that weight anymore
Client: comes in to better understand themselves and the energetic changes they are experiencing, the inner nudge of the soul - receiving validation, clarity and understanding
Client: comes in to connect with passed on family members - I relay the messages I sense and hear
Client: comes in to find an explanation for physical symptoms when western medicine testing is unable to find a cause. I was able to intuitively help her understand the emotional root causes of her symptoms and help her find answers she was looking for
Client: comes in skeptical, but curious - leaves feeling lighter, less stressed and a believer
Overall, my clients report relief, a deep sense of peace, calm and relaxation, a lightness to the congested energy being released. They have experienced instant relief from pain, consistent bowel movements and improved sleep. Many report seeing beautiful colors and feeling the energy move within and out of them. It’s vibrational, tingly, goosebump-like. Many clients cry due to energy bubbling up and being released. They all walk away with more clarity and understanding of themselves and what tools will help them move forward.
I am able to sense where tension is, what the energy is related to and help find a root cause.
Dog: whimpering - cause: hitch in her rear left hip which was later resolved by a chiropractor
Client: Gout in toes - cause: pent up rage and anger from childhood circumstances
Client: Dark entities - cause: highly sensitive person taking on energy unaware of what was happening
Client: Energetic/Physical Parasites - cause: relationship with dad and view of self, painful moving through the body as they were released
I tune into my clients energy and I listen and sense where I’m being guided to place my hands on the body with an open and light touch or hovering slightly above. I open myself up to Reiki energy, allowing it to flow through me to the client for healing on all levels - mind, body, spirit. I allow the Reiki energy to do what it does best - see and meet my client where they are and bring to light what is calling for healing. I’m observing, asking questions and sharing the intuitive information I’m receiving. Sometimes I use tuning forks, where a crystal necklace and do sage smudging/clearing for heavier energies being released and transmuted into light.
I want people to understand that we are not only dealing with our own energy, but the energy of others, the collective field, higher energies and entities, and lower energies and entities.
We, as humans, have limitations - the mind along with the five senses can only pick up a fraction of what is happening around us.
Intuition and energy reading helps broaden our understanding and allows us to navigate more wholly, completely and hopefully more aligned with our divinity.
If you or someone you know is struggling in anyway, have the courage to seek help with someone you believe will listen.
