The COURAGEous Insider - A little Reiki magic + something new I'm excited to share


Hi Reader,

Welcome to The COURAGEous Insider. This is a soft place to land with tid bits of insight into the world of energy work. My hope is that you may use these weekly newsletters to support yourself in this journey we call life.

A little Reiki fun fact: The heart chakra is the only chakra that bridges the lower (survival) and upper (spiritual) energy centers. When it's supported, we feel safer to receive, express, and stay open when life feels tender.

Which feels like a perfect segue into something new...

Hi Reader, Lately I've been thinking about how much our energy shifts depending on what season of like we're in. Sometimes we don't need fixing. We simply require a moment of clarity, creativity, or connection. With that I created a short quiz to help you understand where your energy may be asking for support right now. It's simple, intuitive, and meant to meet you exactly where you are. This is the tool I wish I had access to years ago! When you include your email, you will receive detailed...

Hi Reader, I get this question a lot, and it’s an honest one. When someone is living with pain, they want to know what actually helps. Reiki isn't a replacement for medical care, but it can be a powerful support alongside it. What we're learning more and more is that pain is often connected to how safe or tense the nervous system feels. When the body is stuck in stress or fight-or-flight, pain can intensify or linger. Reiki helps the body settle. As the nervous system calms, many people...

Reiki teaches us to live from a place of love which invites peace and stability into everyday life. If you've been around here for a while, you've heard me say: "Reiki saved me." I...
