When I first began learning Reiki, my teacher said something that has stayed with me ever since.

She told me, “I teach with the hope that my students will become even better than I am.”

That really struck me. Her goal as a teacher wasn’t to gatekeep knowledge or hold anything back so she could remain “the best.” Her intention was to uplift her students. To help them grow, expand & become powerful practitioners in their own right.

I respected that deeply & it’s something I’ve carried with me into my own teaching.

When I teach Reiki, my intention is not to create students who follow me… it’s to support people in becoming deeply connected to their own intuition, their own wisdom & their own magic.

Because the real goal isn’t to be like your teacher.
The real goal is to trust yourself.

To feel confident in the energy moving through you.
To listen to your intuition.
To believe in the quiet power that lives within you.

I’m here to help my students rise into their highest selves..not smaller, but bigger… not dependent, but empowered.

And that’s exactly the spirit behind Reiki Rising.

We begin virtually April 1st & I couldn’t be more excited to guide the next circle of women stepping into this work.

If you feel the quiet pull toward this work… trust it. Reiki Rising begins April 1. Comment RISING below and I will meet you in your inbox.

Step into the sacred turning point of the season where light and dark come into balance and a New Moon invites fresh beginnings. This 75-minute Spring Equinox ceremony blends guided visualization, Holy Fire Reiki & immersive sound to help you release the weight of winter & welcome the quiet return of inner light.

Crystal singing bowls, gongs & layered sound create a cocoon for rest while Reiki works intuitively to restore harmony within. Come lie back, receive & plant gentle intentions as we honor the return of light & the quiet blooming already unfolding within you.

Come as you are. Dress cozy.
Bring your favorite comfort- think sleepover vibes.

For a long time I practiced traditional Reiki & believed that when you learn Reiki… you learn them all.

And for years, that felt true.

But when I encountered Holy Fire® Reiki, something changed in a way I never expected.

My Reiki sessions became stronger.
My channel felt clearer.
& unexpectedly… it helped heal a part of me that once believed working with energy was somehow separate from God.

Holy Fire didn’t just deepen my Reiki practice.
It transformed my relationship with Source.

I just wrote a full article sharing my personal experience & explaining why I believe Holy Fire Reiki is one of the most powerful evolutions of Reiki today.

If you’ve ever been curious about Reiki… or wondered what the difference is between traditional Reiki and Holy Fire…

I think you’ll really enjoy this.

Rest in the space where new growth begins.🌱

The Space Before Bloom is a 75-minute immersive sound journey infused with Holy Fire Reiki, designed to help you release, reset, and return to center.

Through gentle guided visualization and layered sound, you’ll be supported in calming the nervous system, clearing stagnant energy, and creating space within for what’s ready to unfold.

This experience is an invitation to lie back, receive, and be held in sound and light. Reiki flows intuitively throughout the space, restoring balance and grounding the body while the mind drifts into deep rest.

Come as you are and allow yourself to soften into the pause before the next season of growth.

I just closed the door to my apartment for the last time.

I moved in on March 14, 2020.
The world shut down the next day.

What I didn’t know then was that this little space would become my cocoon.
It held me through the darkest days.
It witnessed my tears, my prayers, my undoings, my becoming.

It also held some of the most beautiful chapters of my life.
Within those walls, the vision for The Lightness of Being was born.
It was there that I remembered who I was.

This apartment didn’t just shelter me, it strengthened me.

I leave it with a full heart.
Grateful..Expanded.. & in love.

May the next person who calls it home feel as held as I did. 🙏🏼

Six years ago I shaved my head in survival mode.
Today I’m growing it back in safety.

The warrior built the life.
The queen gets to live in it.

From Warrior to Queen 👑
This one’s about hair… but also about everything.

March is blooming with connection.

There is something so powerful about gathering in real life & breathing together, healing together, laughing, releasing, remembering that none of us are meant to do this alone.

Community is medicine.
Community is regulation.
Community is magic in motion.

I feel deeply blessed to hold & co-create these spaces with so many beautiful souls and collaborators. Every circle, every sound journey, every workshop is a reminder that when we come together with intention, something bigger than any one of us begins to move.

For March, we have 8 opportunities to gather through: reiki sound journeys • women’s groups • art therapy & sound workshop • stretch & sound & kava • gallery reading • reiki share• hammock sound journey • and more.

Whether you come to one or many, know that these spaces are here to support you, ground you, & welcome you exactly as you are.

Thank you for being part of this growing community & for allowing me to do what I love alongside such incredible humans.

I truly don’t take it for granted. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Let’s make March a month of connection, healing, & coming home to ourselves & one another.

With love & gratitude always,
Kate 🤍

Reiki Was My Gateway

I shared a new Substack post about my journey into Reiki & the honest realities of walking this path. Not the polished version.. the realest realness.

What it looked like before I was teaching, before the studio, before any of this felt “clear,” & what it still looks like now, learning as I go, just with more practice staying present inside it.

If you’re on this path too (or feel the nudge toward it), you might resonate with this one.

A portal.

If you’ve been feeling the call, now is the moment to say yes.
