Okay, let’s talk about something that might just change your life (no, seriously). I use big words because I mean big words. I know I am the first person to eyeroll when I see someone claim something will "change your life," and in this case, you may have, too...but I truly mean it (and so do hundreds of my clients and students).
You’ve probably heard the word Reiki floating around in the world of spirituality and healing, but if you're like, “What even is Reiki, and how can it help me?”—I got you.
Reiki in the simplest terms is energy medicine, and before you think that sounds too “out there,” hear me out. Everything is energy—your thoughts, your emotions, even the stress you carry in your body. Reiki helps shift that energy so you can feel more balanced, grounded, and (let’s be real) way less stressed.
So... What Exactly Is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese healing technique that channels universal life force energy (the energy that's all around us) to help restore balance in your body, mind, and spirit. It’s like an energetic reset button that clears out heavy emotions, limiting beliefs, and stagnant energy—kind of like an energetic detox for your soul.
A Reiki practitioner (or YOU, once you learn Reiki!) channels this energy through their hands, either in person or from a distance, to help you feel lighter, calmer, and more in flow with your life.
If you google "what is Reiki," the first thing that is going to come up is that it's a "stress reduction technique" and while that is not wrong...it is SO much more than that. We have smart energy (universal life force energy) working with your smart body. If you were to receive a healing session from a Reiki practitioner/master or yourself, what happens is that once the energy is channeled, it enters your body, but once it enters your body, your body takes it in and puts it where it needs to go. Your body knows what is highest priority and directs the energy there whether its healing your physical body, helping you release trauma or repressed emotions, or giving you the energy and clarity to finish a project. Your body knows what is most important for you and will direct the energy their for your highest and greatest healing good.
Not only that, any time you receive Reiki from yourself or a practitioner/master, you enter a parasympathetic nervous system state. This is the heal and repair state of your nervous system (most people know it as rest and digest). It's important to note that you have to be in parasympathetic to heal, your body cannot heal in sympathetic (fight or flight). This is why Reiki can be such a game changer for people who are chronically dysregulated, for the people who have tried everything, but aren't having success. Reiki helps your body to do what it already does (heal) quickly and more efficiently and more effectively.
What Reiki is Not:
I know energy healing can feel a little out there if you're new to it, so let’s clear up a few things. Reiki is not a religion or associated with any faith, a replacement for medical care, or some kind of instant magic fix. It doesn’t involve tissue manipulation (like a massage), pressure, or physical touch (if done from a distance).
Reiki is not dangerous in any way shape or form. In fact, everyone can benefit from Reiki. It is even safe for pregnant women, babies, animals, people in Hospice care, cancer patients, literally everyone and anyone.
Reiki is a gentle, supportive healing modality that works alongside whatever else you’re doing—whether that’s therapy, functional medicine, or other holistic practices. Think of it as an energy tune-up that helps your mind and body heal themselves more effectively.
How Can Reiki Help You?
Whether you're just starting or deep in your healing journey or wanting to start or build your soul-aligned business, Reiki can be a total game-changer. Here’s how:
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just stuck, Reiki helps release stress and emotional blocks, giving your nervous system the reset it craves. It’s like a deep exhale for your energy.
But Reiki isn’t just for emotional healing—it also supports your physical body in profound ways. When I was struggling with chronic illness (breast implant illness, Lyme, mold toxicity, SIBO, candida, H. pylori—you name it), Reiki became one of the most powerful tools in my healing journey. It helped regulate my nervous system, release stored trauma, and shift the heavy, stagnant energy that was keeping me in a cycle of burnout and illness. Healing isn’t just about what you eat or the supplements you take—it’s about how your energy flows through your body, too. Reiki brings that balance back.
But Reiki isn’t just for personal healing—it’s also powerful for entrepreneurs. If you’ve ever felt resistance around money, success, or confidence, chances are there’s an energetic block holding you back. Reiki clears those limitations so you can actually receive the abundance and opportunities you’ve been working for.
And even if you’re just looking for a way to feel more grounded and connected in daily life, Reiki can help you tune into your intuition, trust your path, and move through life with more ease. It’s not just another self-care practice—it’s a way to align your energy with the life you truly want.
I could literally talk about an infinite number of ways Reiki can support you in your day to day life, your healing journey, in landing your manifestations, and building your business because the possibilities of Reiki are truly endless.
Why Reiki Might Be Exactly What You’ve Been Missing
If you’ve tried therapy, journaling, mindset work, and still feel stuck, it’s probably because your energy needs attention, too. Reiki works on a deeper, unseen level—helping you shift from feeling blocked to fully in flow.
And the best part? Anyone can learn Reiki. Yep, even you. (In fact, I attune women to Reiki so they can tap into this magic for themselves—more on that later).
