When Parents Begin Healing, Children Stop Carrying the Weight
•
When Parents Begin Healing, Children Stop Carrying the Weight Children are deeply perceptive.

Reiki Does No Harm: Gentle Energy for Deep Healing

Why Self-Care Extends to Children and Animals
•
Self-Care Is Never Isolated When we think of self-care, we often picture something private—something we do for ourselves. A quiet moment. A breath. A practice meant to refill our own cup. But true self-care never stays contained. When we regulate ourselves, soften our nervous system, and bring our energy back into balance, the effects…

Self-Reiki During Stressful Parenting Moments
•
Stressful Moments Are Where the Practice Matters Most Most parents imagine calm practices happening during calm moments. Quiet rooms. Soft lighting. Time carved out just for self-care.

How Self-Reiki Becomes a natural Family Rhythm
•
Healing Happens Through Repetition, Not Instruction Self-Reiki does not become meaningful because it is explained well. It becomes meaningful because it is experienced consistently.

Understanding Your Child’s Energy Changes Everything

When Parenting Finally Starts to Make Sense There is often a moment in parenting when something quietly shifts. Not because a child suddenly changes—but because the parent does.

Understanding Your Energy as a Parent, Changes Parenting
•
Parenting Begins From the Inside Out Many parents begin their healing journey focused on their children. They want to help with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, sensitivity, or big reactions. What often surprises them is how quickly the work turns inward. This is not because parents are doing something wrong. It is because parenting is energetic…

Why Every Child Is Wired Differently It’s not Dysfunction
•
Difference Is Not Dysfunction One of the most challenging—and misunderstood—parts of parenting is realizing that children do not respond to life in the same way. What works beautifully for one child may completely miss the mark for another. This difference often creates confusion, frustration, and self-doubt for parents who are doing their best. Many…

Self-Reiki Begins With the Parents- Why Parents?
•
Why Parents Must Go First Children do not learn emotional regulation through explanation. They learn it through observation. Before a child has the capacity to regulate themselves, they borrow regulation from the adults in their lives. This happens quietly—through tone, pacing, presence, and the way a parent responds to stress. Self-Reiki begins here. Not…
