I didn't know if Reiki was real. I didn't know if I was spiritual enough to do it. I definitely didn't know I'd become a Reiki Master teaching it to others. If you've been curious about Reiki but felt like it wasn't quite for you, this is for you.

Your nervous system was shaped by nature long before it was shaped by anything else. Rain, birdsong, ocean waves, fire — these aren't just pleasant backdrops to life. They are the original medicine. Here's the science behind six natural phenomena, and how sound healing brings that medicine indoors.

After six months of insurance approvals, lost faxes, and paperwork I had to chase down myself, my wheelchair finally arrived. But delivery day didn't go as planned, the fitting wasn't perfect, and walking out the door I already knew some things still needed to be fixed. Here's the honest version of what getting your chair actually looks like, and what it felt like to finally use something made for my body.

In Part 2 of my wheelchair journey, I share what the mobility evaluation actually looked like, how I advocated for a specific chair that fit my real life, and what happened when the paperwork process fell apart all over again. If you're navigating something similar, this one is for you.

In this post, I share what I have learned about the difference between help and real support, why boundaries matter in care relationships, and what it felt like to make a hard but necessary decision in my own life.
