My Journey with Reiki & Healing

I was introduced to Reiki in 2003, during a period of deep depression. I was 28, trying to run my new café seven days a week, while internally struggling to stay afloat. I had battled recurring episodes of depression since I was 13—but back then, I didn’t even have the language for it.

I just remember feeling:

• Overwhelming emotional pain

• Constant negative self-talk

• Paranoia and social anxiety

• Exhaustion from even the simplest tasks

• And a disorienting sense of not being myself anymore

The depression eventually lifted after a few weeks—but I carried deep shame and guilt about it for years. With no guidance, no context, and no support, the episodes kept coming. Over time, I subconsciously linked deep suffering with healing—as if I had to hit rock bottom to feel better again.

At my worst, I’d cling to life, silently begging not to wake up, and yet... somewhere within me was a flicker of belief that I was meant for more. That one day, I would not only be free of this pain—but become the happiest, most fulfilled version of myself.

That inner knowing became my lifeline.

Despite the fear of another episode always lurking, I never stopped seeking healing. Life felt like a constant balancing act between anxiety, depression, and panic attacks—and I was desperate for answers.

A Turning Point: My Spiritual Awakening

At 24, I attended a meditation retreat. That experience changed everything.

I was introduced to meditation, chanting, and ancient spiritual teachings—and for the first time, I received direct insight into the deeper meaning behind my suffering. I realised there was a greater purpose to the pain, and that healing would unfold over time.

I began to understand that our true nature is unconditional love—and when we align with that truth, we align with our deepest fulfilment.

Still Seeking… Until Reiki Found Me

Despite spiritual breakthroughs, the depression persisted. I tried everything:

• Counselling, psychotherapy, psychology

• Nutrition and self-help

• Even medication

Nothing brought lasting relief.

Then came Reiki. After just one session, I felt a wave of deep relief—the kind that no other therapy had touched. I knew instantly that this modality held something sacred... something that could help me heal at the root.

My Path to Becoming a Reiki Master

• 2006: Completed Reiki Level 1

• 2012: Reiki Level 2

• 2015: Reiki Master Certification

As I continued my Reiki journey, my intuition sharpened and I finally learned how to truly support myself. I also worked with a kinesiologist over seven years, which amplified my healing further.

Where I Am Now

It’s now been nine years since I last experienced depression.

• No more extended anxiety.

• No more panic attacks.

• Even my body has healed itself from the HPV virus.

The real shift happened when I embraced the power of surrender—accepting reality exactly as it is. That moment marked the true end of my suffering.

Today, I continue to support my wellbeing with Reiki, meditation, spiritual practice, and the Spinal Flow Technique—a gentle yet powerful method for releasing energy blockages. After each session, I feel grounded, connected, and more at home in my body.

Living in Alignment with Unconditional Love

When we live in alignment with our true spiritual nature, we live in alignment with unconditional love. From this state, everything we do—how we show up, how we support others, how we make decisions—is infused with love. Life begins to flow. We’re no longer bound by old stories or emotional loops. Instead, we become anchored in a higher awareness.

I believe that when more of us live this way, we will experience collective peace on Earth. I’ve always held that intuitive vision—and I know we’re moving toward it.
