I had my first Reiki healing in Bali in 2022. At first, I didn’t feel much, but as I softened into the experience, I connected with my heart, and a wave of self-love washed over me. This was followed by an energetic release, and I found myself in tears of joy. It was a powerful experience, and from that moment, I knew I needed to explore Reiki further.
When I returned to New Zealand, I felt called to study Reiki and share its healing with others. Since completing my training, I’ve formed a deeper connection with my body, especially my hands, heart, and womb. My hands now feel activated, and I can sense energy flowing through the centre of my palms.
Through regular practice, Reiki has helped me drop out of my mind and into my body. Because trauma is held in the body, healing practices like Reiki and sound are essential for supporting healing on all levels. Reiki has also helped me trust in my power as a space holder. It’s a gift, to yourself and to others, and will be a core part of my life forever.
