The Benefits of Reiki: A Personal Journey of Transformation
When I first began my Reiki journey, I knew in my heart that it was more than a healing practice—it was a way of resetting, glowing from within, and stepping into transformation. I had been living with chronic health issues for some time, and through Reiki, energy work, coaching, and crystals, I was able to regain balance — so much so that I have now successfully managed to come off all medication! Don’t get me wrong I still have to pace and I have off days the same as everyone else - I am only human, but compared to this time last year I am a completely different person! This personal experience showed me first hand the profound potential of energy healing, not only for myself but for others on their own journey.
Today, I feel incredibly grateful to share Reiki with my clients, weaving it alongside transformational energy-based life coaching and crystals to create lasting change. I am so passionate about energy work and how you can build simple things into your every day life and it is a calling to be able to empower and support others on their soul aligned journey.
Why Reiki is Different for Everyone
Reiki is universal energy, it is so gentle and truly restorative. Each person experiences it in their own way. Some may feel warmth or tingling, others deep relaxation or emotional release. For some, Reiki unlocks clarity, while for others it gently restores balance after stress or overwhelm. There is no “right” way to receive Reiki—as long as you are open to receive, you can trust that the energy will flow to exactly where it is most needed for your body and soul in that moment.
The Benefits of Reiki
Reiki is often used to:
Reduce stress and anxiety by calming the nervous system
Support emotional healing and release stuck energy
Improve sleep and overall wellbeing
Boost clarity and focus during times of transition
Restore balance to mind, body, and spirit
Feel more grounded and at peace
Relieve pain and accelerate recovery
Science is beginning to support what many Reiki practitioners have known intuitively for years. Studies suggest Reiki can lower heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormones, creating a state where the body’s natural healing systems can thrive.
Myths About Reiki
There are many myths about Reiki, so let’s clear a few up:
“You need to believe in it for it to work.” Reiki flows whether or not you consciously believe—it is energy, and energy moves. (You just have to give permission)
“It’s a religion or linked to faith.” Reiki is spiritual but not tied to any religion; it simply connects you with universal life force energy.
“It’s just relaxation.” While Reiki does bring deep relaxation, it also works on energetic, emotional, and spiritual levels to create powerful transformation.
My Heartfelt Invitation
Reiki, especially when combined with transformational, energetic life coaching and crystal energy, can create shifts that go far beyond the treatment space. It’s not just about “ fixing you” or feeling calm in the moment — it’s about reconnecting with your own natural energy and power, it is about stepping into your true self, aligning with your desires, and embracing the life you’re truly meant to live.
To all of my beautiful clients—thank you for trusting me to be part of your journey. And to those who have been quietly watching from the side-lines, perhaps it’s your turn now… When you say yes to Reiki and coaching, you’re really saying yes to you.
If you’re ready to invest in your transformation (and this is what you are doing!), let’s make it real. Together, we can create the space for you to reset, shine, and truly thrive.
