My Story
In 2018, I was a nurse working night shift at the hospital when I started dealing with feelings of anxiety, fatigue, mood changes, and generally feeling off. Trusting my intuition, I started seeing different doctors and was eventually diagnosed with both Graves’ disease and Hashimotos disease, autoimmune disorders that affect the thyroid.
During that time, I decided to try reiki to help with my anxiety. After walking blindly into my first session, I was blown away when my reiki healer told me she felt energy blocks in my throat and asked if I had any thyroid issues. How the hell could she know this?! I instantly became curious. I continued my reiki sessions and I started to uncover:
- repressed emotions
- feelings of disconnection to my body
- lack of self-worth
- lack of boundaries
- people pleasing
- and not knowing who I really was and craving finding my purpose in life
And all this was manifesting in my body because I had ignored it for so long. My body was on overdrive and I needed balance. I had a wake-up call.
I started to realize there was a connection between the things in my mind, the needs of my soul, and my body. Reiki helped me realize this connection while helping me heal.
