Stepping Up as Healer

It's been a while since I've felt the urge to share my thoughts via this platform. For many reasons, mainly physical and emotional upheaval - and lack of confidence I have skirted around my obligation to expand my birth and healing businesses. Something quite powerful is pulling me back into place.

Shortly after my thirtieth birthday last year I received a Reiki attunement and training from Reiki Master Pamela Olivia Brown. The energy healing sessions shifted everything about how I view my spirituality and my purpose in the world. I remember feeling a wave of warmth coursing through my body each time. The heat wave seemed to emanate from the areas around my heart and forehead or third eye. I was deeply moved by how rejuvenated these areas became before the session even ended. Days later I found myself dropping hurtful patterns from life left and right. Habits that had shackled my flight for decades were let go of as if I was a snake shedding my old skin. I let go of sugar, an addiction that had damaged my teeth, energy and more for as long as I could remember. I went from carnivore foodie to vegan overnight. I began to make commitments to expand my knowledge of the sub conscious mind and continue to break down the barriers I had constructed for myself.

I give thanks to all that is for the advancements I’ve made in my life since my birthday. I have stepped up and tried out and been approved for things I’d only dreamed of before. I attribute my success to my commitment to a daily spiritual practice of Reiki. Until recently I had been practicing my reiki healing only on myself and my babies, thinking myself not experienced enough to make a spiritual impact beyond our needs. Then I chose to temporarily transition along with my children to a new housing situation through a shelter. The program was beautiful and life affirming, and helped me shed further the harmful patterns of codependency I’d harbored my entire life. I benefitted from their programs because I was already ready spiritually to receive the evolutions they suggested. I realized that many of the other women in transition were not as receptive and still holding position of victim hood instead of empowerment. The feedback I received from those I provided with simple, short but sweet energy healing is what propels me forward as a healer despite my insecurities.

I’m happy with the easy fit of Reiki practicioner with Birth coach. In many ways the practice feels familiar to the sacred interaction I’m used to as someone involved in women’s birth spaces. I’ve massaged and listened and held space with every woman I’ve ever served. But having a certified practice adds confidence in my ability to positively aide birth transitions.

I have added mommy and baby reiki sessions to my list of services. Please read my trainer, Pamela’s informative post on the benefits of mommy and baby energy healing during pregnancy and beyond. Then be sure to book a session and see the benefits for yourself!
