How Reiki helps me transform my sexual trauma.
I’m winding down teaching my most current Level 2 Reiki training and that always makes me reflect on different parts of my own Reiki journey. Reiki, while extremely powerful, is gentle and non invasive in nature. The gentle channeling of qi into the body is so calming making it a wonderful tool for all trauma work. When I work on transforming my sexual trauma it is one of the first tools I reach for. Being able to work through a memory or an issue and then being able to send myself or the memory itself Reiki is empowering. It allows me to find grounding and calmness in a space where…

Which herbs I used before a big session of healing the next layer of my sexual trauma.
A few months ago I had a big session with my practitioner. Throughout the years we have worked on my sexual trauma, but it’s never been the primary focus of the session since I did so much solo work on it.

How to deal with excessive temper tantrums naturally.
Temper tantrums with children are a totally normal part of the maturation process. However, when they get out of control and they become unmanageable I have found in my practice that, from a Chinese Medicine perspective, it is a liver imbalance. I’ve seen a number of children where temper tantrums are multiple times a day– to the point where the parents have a hard time taking their child into public, or the child is now large enough that it becomes a safety concern for the parents or both. In these cases working with the liver qi has been essential and has calmed the situation drastically back to ‘normal’ maturation temper…
