I am a Reiki Practitioner and Human Design Specialist.

I’ve been a little quieter on here lately.

Life has been full, and I’ve found myself slowing down, being more present, and just spending less time on social media.

And honestly, I think the break has been good for me. 🤍

But I’m still here.

Still giving Reiki.
Still holding space.
Still doing work that I really love.

Maybe you’ve been feeling the need to slow down a little too.

I’d love to see you this fall. 🍂

This is something that comes up often in my Reiki sessions.

If resting has ever felt harder than staying busy, this one is for you. 🤍

People often ask me how I became a reiki practitioner.

The truth is, it wasn’t something I ever planned.

Years before I ever became a practitioner, I booked a reiki session. I remember walking out thinking, “What just happened?” I couldn’t explain what I had experienced, and honestly, I wasn’t sure what I thought about it.

I didn’t think about Reiki again for years.

A few years later, after my second son was born, I was struggling postpartum. I didn’t feel like myself, and I knew I needed something. One afternoon, while I was driving, I had the thought, “Maybe I should give reiki another shot.”

As I finished that thought, a car pulled in front of me.

The license plate read REIKI.

Whether you believe in signs or think it was simply a coincidence, it was enough for me to make the appointment.

I found a practitioner I really connected with and started seeing her consistently. Those sessions became part of my own healing, and over time they sparked a curiosity to learn more.

That curiosity led me to Reiki I, then Reiki II, and eventually Reiki Master.

I never took those classes because I thought I’d one day have a Reiki business. I took them because I wanted to understand something that had become such an important part of my own healing.

If someone had told me back then that one appointment would eventually become my career, I never would have believed them.

Looking back now, I’m so grateful I decided to make that appointment.✨❤️

One thing I didn’t expect when I bought Luna was how much she would make me aware of myself.

I’ve ridden horses my whole life, but this experience has been different. She’s made me notice my breathing, the tension I hold in my body, how often I’m thinking ahead instead of staying present, and how quickly my body changes without me even realizing it.

Healing her has required me to pay attention to myself in a way I haven’t in a while. It’s reminded me that even when we know the tools and do the work, it’s so easy to slip back into old patterns without even realizing it.

It’s something I witness with my clients all the time, and while I’m being honest, I still experience it too.

This has just been a real-life example of how constant this work really is. And I don’t mean that in an overwhelming way. I actually find it rewarding because I’m able to acknowledge when I’m not present, when I’m holding my breath, or when I’m carrying tension. Once I notice it, I can choose differently.

I think that’s the point… not expecting myself to always get it right, but becoming aware a little sooner each time.

I’ve noticed that when I’m uncomfortable with a decision, I tend to keep looking outside myself.

Another opinion. Another book. Another perspective.

Sometimes that’s wisdom. Sometimes it’s avoiding what I already know.

I’ve spent a lot of time looking for reassurance around decisions I’d already made in my gut.

Turns out, I usually knew. I was just waiting for someone else to agree. I’m getting better at listening sooner.

I’ve been seeing a lot more conversation lately around dysregulated children and nervous system regulation.

And yes, I do think parents regulating themselves matters. Kids absolutely pick up on our energy.

But I also think some parents are carrying a lot of shame because they’ve done the work. They are trying. They are reading the books, staying patient, co-regulating, getting support… and their child is still struggling.

Some kids are not simply “acting out.” Some are truly overwhelmed internally.

Sometimes there are deeper layers:
processing differences
sensory sensitivities
visual processing or vision challenges
anxiety
executive functioning struggles

I think one of the biggest shifts can happen when we stop looking at everything as behavior and start getting curious about what may be going on underneath the surface.

You can be a loving, calm parent and still have a child who struggles with regulation.

This is also why I feel so passionate about nervous system support for both children and parents. Sometimes support that helps the body feel calmer and more regulated can make the hard moments feel a little less overwhelming for everyone involved.

Motherhood has been one of the greatest gifts of my life, but also one of the things that brought the most awareness.

It has a way of showing you areas of yourself that you didn’t even realize still needed healing.

The ways you respond to stress. The pressure you put on yourself. The overstimulation. The guilt. The emotions you thought you had moved past.

It made me slow down and really start paying attention to my nervous system, my body, and the patterns I had been living in for years without realizing it.

Honestly, this work grew from that.

From wanting to understand myself better.
From wanting to feel more calm, present, and regulated instead of constantly stretched thin.

A lot of what I now help others through started within my own motherhood journey first.

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms carrying more than most people see 🤍

It’s so common to get stuck in a certain mindset or way of thinking. Always being a little on edge, never really feeling “good”, constantly tired or just tense.

After a while it becomes your “norm” and you accept it.

Most of the people I work with are doing everything they need to do. They’re showing up, taking care of things, etc.

But in reality, their body hasn’t actually relaxed in a very long time.

If this feels like you, come see me.

You don’t have to have the words for it.
That’s usually where we start anyway.

The other day, my husband asked me a question that caught me off guard.

He said,
“What do you actually do during a Reiki session?”

I’m used to explaining it in more clinical terms. How Reiki helps guide the body out of a fight or flight state and into the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing the body to slow down and begin to heal.

How I act as a conduit, allowing energy to move where it’s needed and supporting areas that feel stuck or heavy.

And all of that is true.

But when he asked me that question, what came out of my mouth surprised even me.

I said,
“I pray.”

Not in a passive way.
Not in a distant way.
But in a deeply focused, intentional way.

I tune into your energy and the intention you came in with.
I help create a space where your body can let go of tension and finally relax.

And alongside that…

Yes, I pray.

I ask for healing, for peace and for clarity.

I imagine you surrounded by light, grounded and supported.
I trust that your body already knows how to heal, and I help create the conditions for that to happen.

Most importantly, I hold space for you to remember something many of us forget:

That you’re not alone, you are supported and you are deeply loved.

That’s what’s happening when you’re on my table.
