For those in recovery, whether 1 day, 1 year, or multiples of years, recovery coaching and support is instrumental in staying sober and away from substances that harm your body and your soul. As a certified recovery coach, I help clients learn to cope with life's challenges, reframe their thoughts from the negative to the positive, develop self-confidence, and discover their inner strength to deal with life in general. Part of the recovery process also involves managing conflict, restoring relationships, and developing healthy, affirming ones that support you and help you grow.

Anxiety can be debilitating and derail our lives if it gets out of control. Reiki energy healing can alleviate the symptoms in the moment and with continued Reiki treatments, it can help to reduce the intensity and frequency of anxiety attacks and calm your anxious thoughts. The distant Reiki session includes general healing as well as focused healing on particular chakras (the solar plexus, the sacral, and the root especially), as well as the use of crystals to promote well-being.

Early childhood trauma manifests not just in our minds but also in our bodies. Our bodies in fact store the trauma and illnesses manifest in the form of stomach issues, headaches, and anxiety and panic attacks. Many trauma survivors are hypervigilant, people-pleasers, and perfectionistic. As someone trained to work with trauma survivors, I help clients recognize trauma responses to situations and pinpoint the underlying source of the trauma. I am not a licensed therapist, but I offer a trauma-sensitive approach in my Reiki healing and offer deep listening as a way to help clients process their feelings.

Depression, like anxiety, can be debilitating and often interferes with our daily activities and negatively affect how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with others and the world around us. While someone diagnosed with clinical depression is encouraged to work with a licensed therapist, consistent Reiki sessions can calm the monkey mind and relax the body. Reiki provides a great respite from the negative and sad feelings that accompany depression. My treatment includes Reiki energy healing with crystals (if wanted) and a guided meditation.

Anyone can learn to be a Reiki healer! Over the course of two days, those interested in becoming Reiki 1 and 2 practitioners learn the history of Reiki, correct hand positions to give themselves and others Reiki, and are attuned during a spiritual meditation process. They learn the power, distant, and spiritual symbols associated with Reiki 1 and 2 and are prepared to become Reiki practitioners for family, friends, and in fact for everyone, worldwide. Instruction is held from 10-4 Eastern time on Zoom and students are provided with a Reiki 1 and 2 manual as part of the investment in the training.
