Alignment… another word thrown around a lot on social media. If you have followed my posts, I talk about it too. However, do you know wtf it is?

I’m talking about is the process of aligning your thoughts, words, and actions with your highest truth, or your deepest values and beliefs. (The kicker is….you have to KNOW what those are, and that’s done through shadow work)

Your thoughts, feelings, and actions are all working towards the same goal / higher purpose.

If you have felt stuck, frustrated, your work lacks meaning, struggling to stay motivated, defensive, unfocused.... Just overall heavy and drab.... You very well could be out of alignment.

It’s not a fun energy to be in....

Think of a garage that is packed with junk....at some point there is no space to put anything new. The same goes for your energy. There is no room for fresh, new energy to come in.

Reiki can help shift this energy. When you operate in these heavy energies, it accumulates more and more...

With fresh energy comes inspiration, new ideas, beginnings and yes... it can help you become in alignment.

Being in alignment allows things to flow easier...things actually feel GOOD and your energy will feel lighter.

If you’re ready to ditch those heavy energies and start welcoming in the new, light, fresh energy and start becoming your best aligned self, reiki is your ticket.

When your energy aligns, your life begins to flow.

It’s certainly helped me and my clients get there... and it’s a much happier way to be.

How is retrograde treating you?

Hold tight… it’s almost over!

Personally, this one has me really tired… or maybe it’s all that shadow work I’ve been doing 🫠

Your mind is racing but your body is tired..😴

If you find yourself keyed up 24/7, you are constantly stuck in fight or flight. It’s exhausting.

I know this because I’ve been there.

When your nervous system is stuck in survival mode, everything feels harder: rest, decision-making, emotional clarity, even breathing fully.

Reiki creates a calm space where your body feels safe enough to soften, release tension, and begin to heal.

It slows stress response, gets rid of energetic tension, reconnects you to your body, improves your body’s natural rhythms, and what it actually feels like to be calm.

Whe you’re ready for your calm, I’ll be waiting to hold that space for you.

In person or virtual appointments. Book on my website.

Shadow work is plastered all over social media, and its big within spiritual practices.

Did you know it is rooted in the history of psychology?

(I have a MA degree in Clinical Psychology, so I feel this is very relevant to share, as sessions often bring up this type of work, but I’ve got the skills to help.)

Shadow work is the process of exploring & integrating the unconscious parts of yourself you most likely suppress, deny, or avoid.

These can include emotions, fears, traumas, beliefs, and behaviors that do not align with your ideal self-image but still can influence.

It comes from a Swiss Psychologist named Carl Jung, who termed the “shadow” as the hidden, unacknowledged parts of the psyche. These parts can be heavier emotions like anger, jealousy, or shame.
Or... lighter vibes like joy, creativity or love.

Key aspects of shadow work may include self-reflection, confronting inner conflict, healing & integration, and facing how we project onto others. This work is not easy, and people can push it off for years, or even thier lifetime. It is not work that is done overnight, it can also take months to years.

Shadow work allows you to be self-aware, and understand your behaviors, motivations & internal conflict. It can be a super powerful emotional healer allowing you to align more to what is meant for you. If an event, or a cycle keeps coming up, it probably has something to do with shadow work. It will keep coming up again & again until that “thing” is dealt with.

Ideas how to practice shadow work include journaling, meditating, practicing mindfulness (mindfulness actually comes from DBT therapy) or speaking with a coach or therapist.

This opens the gates to inner child, parts work (a therapy method developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz, a psychologist with a therapy model called Internal Family Systems (IFS) and even further into a branch of psychology called Existential Psychology.

To me, shadow work is non-negotiable. It’s how we break patterns and cycles. We must tend to our shadows so we can create more light. There is not one without the other.

If you decide to begin this work, make sure you have proper supports, as it can be triggering. ❤️

You’ll never catch me waving my hands around, making funny faces in a video titled “accept this reiki energy to unlock abundance” or pulling tarot cards for any random person scrolling.

That is energetic overload, and not in a good way. (If you are following any type of reiki, tarot content online you have guaranteed see this)

Reiki energy knows where it’s needed without all the funny hand gestures. You don’t need a Hawaiian background or to roll around on the ground channeling reiki ASMR. It’s extra, in my opinion 🤷‍♀️

It should be simple, intentional, focused. Without chaos or being dramatic. From the heart space. Meeting you where you are at.

Reiki itself dosent “unlock your abundance” it’s planting the seeds, taking aligned action and staying on top of your inner balance and energy.

At some point there has to be some sort of aligned action, physical steps taken. Reiki helps clear the path, or the cards can help guide, but nothing will make “the thing” fall out of the sky into your lap.

I take reiki seriously, and I think it’s a disservice to the energy to put out watered down videos online, or sell some recorded video to a ton of people and call it reiki.

Maybe it’s just me, but I just hold myself to a different ethic.

Your practitioner should be able to hold the energetic space for you in real time during a session (in person or if you are speaking virtually via video call).

The connection should be intentional and , meaningful. helping to find peace within chaos… not continue to create it.

Reiki Principal self help tip: Kindness as Energy Flow

Just for today, practice kindness. This is leading with the heart. Being kind and compassionate.

Pick one small act of compassion—toward yourself, another person, an animal, or even a plant—and do it with full presence. (Really, any living thing)

• For yourself: We are our own worst critic. We typically beat ourselves up and are always looking to achieve the next “thing.” This is treating yourself with kindness, being proud for what you have accomplished, no matter how small because small things lead to big things. Practice self care, however that resonates with you.

• For others: Offer a sincere compliment or listen to someone fully. Truly be present and hear them, not distracted by your phone or other tasks. Maybe do something kind, buy a friend a coffee.

• For nature: Water a plant, recycle, or simply pause to acknowledge the earth beneath you. For example, Me and my husband are always picking up trash at boat launches.

• For animals: Give gentle attention to a pet or leave a small offering for wildlife (like a bird feeder refill). Put spiders outside instead of killing them. If you are a hunter or fisherman, it’s being a good sportsman and setting a good example.

As you do this, imagine a soft light radiating from your heart and expanding outward. Kindness isn’t a performance—it’s an energetic ripple. Kindness is not expecting anything in return.

Every small act keeps your energy flowing freely and returns to you as calm, warmth, and alignment.

Retrograde is here…🌚

Since there will be 10,000 posts about this on social media making a big deal about it, I’m going to simplify this.

Lots of accounts like to make Mercury retrograde this a big scary thing, but there is no way to escape it. Let’s not operate out of fear.

Life does not stop happening, no matter what the planets are doing.

If you know the energy, it can make this time a bit easier to navigate.

Mercury retrograde is a time to pause, reflect, and reevaluate. Expect delays, miscommunications, and a sense of restlessness. There might be travel issues, internet outages, appliances or vehicles like to have issues during this time. Slow down and pay attention while driving. Double check your emails before sending, if you are signing a contract make sure you understand it fully before signing.

In Sagittarius, Mercury Retrograde moves boldly, speaks freely, and often without filter. Conversations can feel exaggerated or overconfident, as opinions fly faster than facts. This fire-fueled energy pushes you to defend your beliefs, but it’s easy to mistake conviction for truth. Slow down before you speak. Reflect before you react. This is a time to rethink what you really stand for.

As it moves closer to Scorpio energy, this retrograde will bring up possible past wounds for final closure, rethinking old secrets, stories, attachments. Mercury in Scorpio wants truth-not polite, passive aggressive answers. You may even find yourself going inward and reflecting on your personal values.

This retrograde will go from the 9th-29th. We absolutely have been feeling this one already, there is going to be this huge feeling things need to slow down a bit, take advantage!

The cards are talking…🫠

It’s been over five years since I started reading tarot and oracle cards. They are honestly one of my favorite tools for reading energy. Each deck has a unique energy, they each read and “behave” different.

It always blows me away how these readings build, reaffirm and line up in multiple ways (images, themes).

I can use multiple different decks that are completely unrelated and they will come together to deliver a message. Sometimes they call you out, give you a big affirming hug, or give gentle guidance. (Well, sometimes repeat themselves 😅 IYKYK…)

I really love doing them in person or face time, but I do have options for a recorded reading you can refer to anytime you like. (Those are all on my website)

I am unique in the way I also love to incorporate them into reiki sessions….they really add that extra layer of depth in a session. As always, I can leave the cards out if you wish.

Book your session on my website. By appointment only.

Grief, loss and chaos cracked me wide open.

I got myself out of an abusive marriage, everything I had was burned to the ground. I had to start over from square one and not in the best place.

I got lucky though, because it lead me to the amazing man I’m married to today. ❤️

I lost my grandma in 2019….she was my best friend.

Then we lost my horse, then our dog. I also struggled with a lot of health issues during this time.

I don’t think my world could have shattered more.

I found reiki in 2019 and it changed my life.

I had no clue what it was, but I was willing to try anything to help how I energetically felt, most importantly I wanted to learn how to keep a connection with those I lost.

Turns out I ended up loving it and it changed my life in the best way possible.

Turns out I had natural mediumship & psychic abilities I didn’t understand how to use or make sense of. (I started learning tarot around this time, it was so fun and intriguing).

It helped me move through the most dense, difficult heaviness. It didn’t happen overnight. It was hard to do the shadow work.

To be real, the shadow never stops, but it’s easier having awareness.

In 2022 I received my reiki master attunement. I didn’t practice for a few years because I was terrified. I wasn’t ready to hold this space for others and what people would think, especially in my area this stuff just wasn’t heard of.

I would have to be a trailblazer, and that is scary AF.

Now here I am, helping others transform chaos into balance. Showing others the power of reiki. Helping them leaning into their own psychic gifts and trusting their intuition.

If you’re ready to experience your own energetic transformation, I’m here to help.

By appointment only. Book on my website.

Your sleep is 🗑️

The clients I have worked with recently are EXHAUSTED! People feel crabby, overwhelmed, tired, and that things overall are moving insanely fast. Lucky us, we have a mercury retrograde on Nov 9, and it’s going to force a slow down. The thing is… are you actually going to?

Sleep is passive rest, and most times it’s not really happening.

Sleep is essential, but it’s only one aspect of exhaustion.

Overthinking, stress, grief, decision making, and an overly active mind is draining. Spreading yourself thin with people, situations and saying “yes” even when your cup is empty. This keeps your nervous system unregulated and constantly in fight or flight. The more that gets added, the more severe the spiral becomes....

And your sleep quality is still junk, even if you find yourself sleeping more.

What is missing is active rest. This replenishes the systems that are overworked. We actually need seven types of rest; physical, mental, emotional, social, sensory, creative, and spiritual.

Reiki can transform this for you. It engages the body, mind, and energy system in INTENTIONAL recovery rather than just passively “doing nothing.” Reiki calms the nervous system, releases emotional & physical tension, balances your flow of energy, creates intentional stillness. It works on all seven types of rest that you need.

(Btw, reiki is scientifically proven to help you actually get restful sleep. It’s also one of the BIGGEST things my clients tell me is improved after a session. Time and time again this is what I hear.)

When you’re ready to take some time for active rest / energetic reset, l’ll be waiting to assist virtually or in my cozy location. Let’s get you back to your balanced, rested, aligned self so you can enjoy life and not walk around like a zombie 🧟.
