How Reiki Found Me

I found Reiki during a time when I really needed something, although I’m not sure I knew what that something was yet.

I was going through a difficult season in my real estate career. I had been hurt by people I trusted, felt isolated from colleagues, and somewhere along the way, I realized I had lost pieces of myself. I was carrying so much—in my mind, in my heart, and absolutely in my body.

And then I found Reiki.

Or, maybe Reiki found me.

When I began my training, one of the most important things I learned was that before I could hold space for anyone else, I needed to learn how to work with Reiki for myself. My own healing came first.

That changed everything.

Reiki gave me permission to slow down. To listen to my body instead of constantly pushing through it. To recognize what I was carrying that wasn't mine to keep. And eventually, to soften enough to actually receive instead of always being the person giving, doing, fixing, and holding everything together.

I began finding a sense of balance and peace that, for a long time, I genuinely didn't think was available to me.

Reiki didn't magically make life perfect. It helped me find myself inside of my life again.

It taught me that healing isn't always about doing more. Sometimes it's about releasing. Sometimes it's about allowing. Sometimes it's simply creating enough quiet within ourselves to hear what our mind, body, and energy have been trying to tell us all along.

My relationship with Reiki continues to grow and evolve, just as I do. But what started as something I needed for myself eventually became something I knew I wanted to share with others.

And in so many ways, that journey became Soul Alchemy.

Taking what we've carried, what we've experienced, and even what has hurt us and allowing it to become something new.
