Hi! I'm Rachel! It's an honor to support you on your healing journey. 

 

Ten years ago, what began as a calling to look within myself turned into a life long dedication of service. My life had become an experience of intense PTSD, anxiety, and depression after years of repressing being sexually assaulted. All I wanted was to feel happy or joyful, yet those sensations were fleeting at best. I remember dissociating in class and having panic attacks at the post office, struggling to maintain a normal life. 

 

I knew something had to change. I knew I was meant for more than this cage of emotions and pain I felt trapped in. I knew there was a healthier way to live. 

 

I began studying psychology at Michigan State University to better understand the mind. I started making shifts in my diet, practicing mindfulness, and going to therapy around the same time. These changes aided me immensely; I went from living in crisis to a more manageable state. Yet, I still faced regular bouts of depression and moderate anxiety. My therapist said I was doing well enough to stop seeing her on a regular basis. I was confused, although I had improved greatly I still felt like there was so much more possible. According to those around me, my standards were quite high above what the average US adult experiences. I just knew there was a more vibrant life and deeper healing that was possible for me. 

 

As I continued my search for different modalities of healing, I received my first Illumination. I had never heard of this Andean Energy Healing technique, but in my soul I felt a resonance. I gave it a shot and what occurred in the session blew me away. Not only did I experience deep relaxation during the session which was difficult at that time to drop into, but also I left feeling filled with joy. As I walked down the street everything seemed more beautiful than before. My heart was opened and I felt deeply connected to myself in a way I had desired to feel for a long while. This newfound inner connection and sense of beauty persisted for weeks to come. I noticed blockages that once existed were now evaporated into understanding. 

 

Over the next few years, I continued to dive deeply into my personal healing journey. With time, I realized this path was becoming less about my own healing and more about my learning. After years of studying and embodying the teaching I received, I began sharing my intuitive gifts with others through Reiki Sessions, Women’s Circles, and Group Programs. 

 

Life came full circle in 2022, as I received the Munay Ki Rites, an initiatory energy transmission from the Qero Nation of the Andes. I was studying in Peru the exact energy healing technique that changed my own life years ago. It is a blessing to now hold Illuminations for others, as this style of energy work has had such a profound impact on my life. 

 

At the same time, I began my studies with the Shipibo in the Amazon of Peru. Learning from the plant medicine and master plant teachers has profoundly shaped me as a human and space holder. Intuitively, the plants work through me during energy work sessions. 

 

It is my deepest intention that our work together be transformative in a way that allows you to access your own inner wisdom through the body, heart, and soul. At the core of my work, I believe that we are all creative geniuses, hold intuitive talents, and a deep life purpose. Together, our work will unlock these inner knowings and illuminate your most authentic self. My approach is one of the heart. I believe there is strength in softness, breakthrough within truth, and devotion within discipline. It is an honor to serve you in these sessions and I look forward to connecting with you.
