Welcome! I’m Monica Lindsey, and I’m so happy (and grateful!) you found your way here.
The emotional and spiritual healing that reiki provided was pivotal in my own personal journey, and is largely the reason I do this work.
First, let me share a little about what led me to reiki.
I’ve been a Registered Nurse since 2013 and have been practicing as a Nurse Anesthetist in a clinical / hospital setting for more than 5 years. I have a respect and understanding of Western medicine. I also feel it has limitations.
While Western medicine is crucial for managing acute illnesses and injuries, I think it falls short in addressing issues that are chronic. Conventional healthcare centers more around symptom management; Holistic medicine focuses more on the root cause of health issues.
I believe both types of medicine complement rather than replace one another. Both are necessary to live a balanced, healthy life.
A couple of years ago, I was experiencing what is commonly referred to as an “existential crisis.”
At times, I experienced crippling fear and anxiety. I was struggling emotionally and spiritually, and my internal problems were manifesting themselves physically. I had chronic back pain, gut issues, weight gain, and generally I just felt horrible. I was reading a lot, evaluating many different therapies and modalities to feel better, and tried reiki. During that initial reiki experience, I felt fully relaxed and had this overwhelming feeling of being safely held – almost womb-like. As the session continued, I had an emotional release, and then was left feeling safe, relaxed, and the most content I had ever felt in my life. It felt as though God, the Universe, the Source (whatever your preferred term is) was finally able to reach me. Over the next few days after my session, my back pain lessened, my gut issues cleared up, and I was feeling great in my body.
Reiki changed my life, and continues to shape it in many ways.
Though Reiki can have varying effects on different people, it allowed me to heal my emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies which then healed my physical body. I am now living a more balanced life where I feel fully healthy and resilient to life’s inevitable challenges and stress. I practice reiki to bring holistic health and wellness to my clients; to direct my energy toward love, kindness, comfort, peace, and health; and, to positively impact this often hectic and stressful world we share.
Wherever you are in your journey, whether you seek a deeper connection to your spirituality, hope to expand your consciousness, balance various aspects of your life, relax and recharge and simply unwind for a little bit – reiki can be a modality that supports and uplifts you.
