Reiki didn’t arrive in our life with a big announcement or a dramatic turning point.

It showed up quietly — in the in-between moments. In the way our home felt after becoming parents. In the pauses between caring for a baby and remembering to care for ourselves. In the moments when slowing down felt less like a choice and more like a necessity.

It felt like instinct — placing my hands, breathing more intentionally, paying attention to how energy moved through our space. Motherhood has a way of tuning you into subtleties you might have missed before, and suddenly I was noticing how deeply environments, emotions, and presence mattered — not just for me, but for all of us.

Reiki found its way into our home not because I went looking for it, but because our lives had softened enough to let it in. Learning Reiki as a family felt like a natural next step. When we decided to study it, we did it together — Calvin, me, and Lotus — which still makes me smile when I think about it.

By that point, so much of our healing already happened as a family. Through shared meals, bath time, quiet evenings, and learning how to be gentler with each other in this new chapter of life. Studying Reiki together didn’t feel like adding something new — it felt like giving language to something we were already living.

Lotus, especially, has always been incredibly sensitive — the kind of baby who feels everything. Sounds, moods, energy in a room. Becoming her mother made me more aware of how much energy moves through us every day, whether we’re conscious of it or not. Reiki gave us a shared way to understand and work with that awareness.

At its core, Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that supports balance, relaxation, and the natural flow of life force energy. But the reason it resonated so deeply with me is because it isn’t about doing more. Reiki doesn’t ask you to fix yourself. It doesn’t require force or performance. It’s about presence, listening, and allowing energy to settle instead of trying to control it. That gentleness felt familiar — especially in a season of life where gentleness became essential.

After becoming a mother, everyday rituals started to shift. Skincare wasn’t just skincare anymore. Showers weren’t just showers. These moments became small windows of grounding — chances to breathe, reconnect, and regulate after long days and short nights.

Without thinking much about it, I began practicing Reiki during these everyday moments — while washing my face, during showers and baths, while holding Lotus when she needed calm. What started intuitively eventually became intentional. Reiki didn’t add something extra to my routine — it simply deepened what was already there.

We practice on one another. We pause when one of us feels off. We use it to soften, reset, and come back to center. It’s not rigid or ceremonial in our home — it’s woven into real life. Into moments that are messy, beautiful, ordinary, and deeply human.

As my Reiki practice deepened, it naturally began influencing how I approach everything else — including our products and the spaces we hold. Energy exists whether we acknowledge it or not. Intention simply allows us to work with it more consciously.

That awareness eventually led to infusing Reiki into our rituals and to hosting two Reiki Sound Baths at The Healing House in Brea. These gatherings aren’t about performance or transformation — they’re about rest. About being held. About giving the nervous system a chance to exhale. They feel like an extension of how Reiki first entered our life — quietly, gently, without force.

I studied reiki because it aligned with how I want to live — slowly, intentionally, and with trust in intuition. Because presence is powerful. And because sometimes the practices that change us most are the ones we were already doing — we just didn’t have words for them yet. Reiki didn’t arrive loudly. It simply stayed. And now, it’s part of how we move through our days — together. Looking forward to bringing our reiki practice into our brand, lifestyle, community, and offerings.
