Finding Footing in a Virtual Economy
TL;DR: Irony and fears about money. I’m trying to put myself on a schedule of only doing 1-2 work “things” per day. Like all small business owners right now I do have moments where I freak out about money, and the weirdness of trying to find my footing in a virtual economy. I have been […]
Coronavirus Preparation: How Does Energy Work Factor In? Maybe More Than You Realize…..
As countries around the globe lock down or prepare for lock-downs, it can feel like a juggernaut of bad news bearing down on us. Long-term school closures, lost income and no end of the crisis in sight can leave the strongest of us feeling low and scared. It’s normal to feel this way. In the […]
When Almost Nothing is More Than Enough.
I work with traumatized individuals a lot, and it’s important to realize that trauma is a spectrum. People’s reactions and energetic anomalies in response to traumatic events are subjective and non-linear. As such, the healer’s methods need to be just as flexible. The way I’ve handled traumatized clients — literally, how I have handled their […]
Is Reiki Sex Work?, Part 2
In my earlier post, Is Reiki Sex Work?, I cheekily outlined best behavior Do’s and Don’ts for potential clients on how to speak appropriately to both Reiki healers and sex workers (hint: treat them both respectfully.) However, I don’t want to give the impression that genuinely seeking out Reiki healing for a sexual dysfunction problem […]

At this point we are all wondering if there are true sex workers out […]

Deferred Payment, Discounts for Federal Employees During the Shutdown
During the government shutdown (the current one or any in the future), any federal employee can schedule a Reiki session. Payment will not be due until that employee receives their backpay, and the rate will be discounted to $40 (from the usual $90). It is important that we take care of each other, especially when […]
In Which I Get It So Wrong. Like, So, So Wrong.
You know that feeling when your ass gets CALLED OUT and then you feel like you have to question everything? And then the embarrassment creeps in, like “how could I have gotten it so wrong?”
Oh, honey. Pull up a chair.
Forgiveness as a F@%! You
A few weeks ago I wrote about refusing to be grateful for deep, traumatic abuses in our lives. In that post I wrote that “forgiveness and acceptance are important.” I don’t dispute the importance of forgiveness, but just like with gratitude, the actual definition of forgiveness needs to be completely re-worked as it relates to […]
The Art of Not Being Grateful
Cultivate an attitude of gratitude! Be grateful for the challenges in your life! They made you who you are today! Gratitude is everything! These phrases are, on face value, kind of true. In most cases, we can be grateful for the surface-level challenges in our life and look back on them as character-building exercises. For […]
