Meet Angela

Following life-altering medical events, I faced much difficulty accepting my new reality. My ‘old self’ had been a very independent personality – how would I adapt? I felt damaged, broken; I was grieving who I had been. There was so much anger around the circumstance in which I found myself. The worry that I may never feel whole (mentally, physically, spiritually) was overwhelming; would I ever find happiness and joy in this life? Was that non-broken, independent woman still in there?

Fortunately, two incredible women have been on this healing journey alongside me—Tricia (PCP) and Karen (Therapist). Each recognized the incredible pain I was experiencing and suggested I might try a non-traditional option to compliment the care my medical team was providing. As a Type-A, left brain thinker I did not quickly embrace that advice. After several months and some additional nudging, however, I acquiesced. What did I have to lose?

Because of their guidance I found Reiki, and Reiki changed my life.

Do I continue to experience challenges from those medical events? I do, but... I found an inner peace that allows me to process and accept what is, and those challenges no longer overwhelm my daily life.

  • Reiki is translated to mean “Universal Live Energy.” Rei (Universal) Ki (Energy) is the energy within all things in the universe; it is the energy that flows through each of us. The practice of “Reiki Healing” first began in Japan as a means for the client (or self) to calm their mind, body, soul/spirit. Once that calmness & stillness is achieved, healing can occur.

  • Reiki is not based upon a religion and it does not impede with one’s ability to practice their belief system. It may, however, improve an individual’s personal journey if they follow a religion.
