Reiki won't fix you, it'll do better on your healing journey
I want to tell you about one of my Reiki students.
He's in his sixties, and he spent his entire working life in service roles. Decades in a profession that required him to show up, hold space, and carry things that most people never have to carry. He was good at it. He gave it everything he had.
But somewhere along the way, he lost himself.
He described a period of his life where he was just working, constantly, and it wasn't because he loved it. It was because the thought of stopping was more frightening than carrying on. So when his body started telling him to slow down, he did what so many of us do: He refused to listen.
He'd always felt drawn to energy and something deeper, but had never given himself permission to explore it. Then covid happened and the stillness that followed cracked something open within him. He started to meditate, got his hands in the earth, attended sound baths and Buddhist classes.
He went on to train in breathwork and meditation.
And then slowly, but sure as heck with intention, he built something new. Something in a completely different direction to everything he'd ever known.
And then he found Reiki.
He told me that his first session was truly remarkable, and sent him on a path completely unexpected - not just to receive, but to share, too. His goal became clear: to become the kind of person who could hold space for others the way he had always wished someone had held it for him.
And so he came to train with me.
I've been watching him step into this work over the last few years and it has been one of the genuine honours of what I do.
I share his story because I know there are people reading this who feel that same pull, the subtle inner-knowing that even though you're exceptional at your job, or if you've been with your employer for years, it isn't serving your purpose, nor is it igniting your soul.
So let me repeat: Reiki won't fix you.
It won't hand you a new life on your healing journey, but it will give you access to something within yourself that changes how you move through the life that you do have.
If you feel called (whether for your own healing or because you want to share this with others) my courses are open.
I teach in intimate groups of 2-3. We cover our full lineage, the ethics, the practice, and the parts of the industry that most trainings won't tell you. All of it with my full presence, including 1:1 moments to ensure every student feels seen, heard and held.
My current schedule of 2nd Degree courses are already sold out. If any of the upcoming dates for 1st of Master/Teacher feel right, I wouldn't hold back... though as I always say, we never rush the process. If it's meant for you, you'll know 💚
