How Reiki found me
I am a Reiki Master, mother, artist, creator, and forever student of life. My journey with Reiki didn’t begin with the intention of becoming a practitioner, let alone a Reiki Master. It began with one experience that opened a door I didn’t even know was waiting for me.
My introduction to Reiki happened unexpectedly
I was taking a yoga class as a college course when my instructor invited a Reiki Master to come in and give the students an opportunity to experience Reiki for ourselves. I didn’t really know what to expect. I was simply open and curious.
During my first session, she intuitively felt where I experienced pain the most. She gently placed her hand there, and I felt this amazing sensation that I still remember to this day. There was something about her gentleness, her presence, and the energy I felt that allowed my heart to open to the experience.
And the part that really stayed with me?
I remember not feeling that pain again for a long time.
From that moment, Reiki intrigued me. But I didn’t know yet that Reiki would eventually become part of my own journey.
Learning what helping really means
As I began the process of remembering who I am, I also started recognizing something about myself that had always been there. I had a deep desire to help people. I wanted to make things better. I wanted to ease people’s burdens, solve their problems, and sometimes even carry what they were carrying.
What I didn’t realize was how much of myself I was giving away in the process.
It wasn’t until I took my first Reiki class and received my attunements that something shifted within me. It felt like an awakening of both my eyes and my heart.
I realized I had been approaching “helping” in a way that was draining me. I began to innerstand that I could not fix people. And more importantly, people were never mine to fix.
Healing requires willingness. I could support someone. I could hold space for them. I could offer Reiki, compassion, encouragement, and guidance. But their healing journey belonged to them.
That realization changed the way I loved people, the way I supported people, and the way I protected and honored my own energy.
From healing people to watching them heal
As I continued practicing Reiki and working on myself, I became excited about who I was becoming. I watched myself move through challenges differently. I became more aware, more grounded, more intentional, and more connected to myself.
And somewhere along the way, a new desire grew within me.
I didn’t want to heal people. I wanted to see people heal.
I wanted to see people remember themselves. I wanted to see them reconnect with their own power, move through the things that had weighed them down, and discover what thriving could look like for them.
I wanted to be a guide, a support, and a safe space along that journey without taking ownership of a journey that wasn’t mine.
That’s how Reiki chose me.
Still beautifully human
Today, as a Reiki Master, Reiki is not something I simply do. It is woven into the way I understand energy, boundaries, healing, connection, and the relationship we have with ourselves.
And outside of Reiki, I’m still beautifully human. I’m a mother. I’m an artist and a creator. I love collaborating with others, learning new things, exploring spirituality, and discovering all that this strange and beautiful life has to teach me. I’m still learning. I’m still growing. I’m still remembering.
My own healing journey isn’t finished, and I don’t believe it’s supposed to be. That’s part of why I hold space for others the way I do.
I don’t promise to heal you. I don’t believe your healing belongs in my hands. But I can meet you where you are. I can hold space. I can share Reiki with you. I can support you as you reconnect with the wisdom, strength, and healing already within you.
Because sometimes healing isn’t about becoming someone new. Sometimes it’s about remembering who you were underneath everything you had to carry.
