Ready Set Reiki

A lot of people want to believe in intuition, right up until it starts giving them information they cannot explain. That’s why this conversation with Gemma Reid hit so deeply for us. Gemma is a therapist with a master’s degree in social work and more than 20 years in mental health, and she also describes herself as an “accidental medium” who began sensing spirit while supporting people through grief and diff...

Sound can get you to stillness faster than your mind can argue with it. That’s why we lean into the powerful overlap between Reiki and sound healing, especially for people who are curious but a little nervous about what “energy work” will feel like in their body.

We’re joined by  Naghmeh Taefi , a Reiki master teacher who blends Usui Reiki with archangelic light Reiki, Celtic Reiki, and crystal s...

You can chase the next goal for years and still feel like something is missing, and sometimes the missing piece is not more effort. It is presence. Tracy Searight sits down with Reiki master practitioner   Cami Hoang to talk about slowing down in a way that actually works in real life, especially when you are parenting, recovering from burnout, or carrying stress in your body without even noticing it.

Cami shares her pa...

Reiki doesn’t need hype, fear, or perfect belief to be meaningful. I sit down with Reiki master teacher Jon Pickell to talk about what actually builds a strong Reiki practice: time, hands-on experience, integrity, and the willingness to step out of the way so the energy can do what it does. Jon shares how he stumbled into a Reiki share in Chicago, what it felt like to receive for the first time, and why short sessions can sti...

Hustle culture tells healers to post more, push harder, and copy whatever “proven” funnel is trending. But when your work is Reiki, energy healing, or spiritual coaching, forcing yourself into someone else’s system can quietly drain your body, your intuition, and your joy. That’s why this conversation with Ewa Heard hit home for us, because she doesn’t just teach business growth, she lives the shift fr...

You can feel it when someone has lived the work, not just studied it. I’m joined by  Safra Turner,founder of iHolistica Institute for Holistic Health and Advanced Energetica, and her story is the kind that rewires how you think about Reiki, energy healing, and what it actually means to “heal.” From learning to see energy at 17 to receiving Reiki attunements at 18 while serving as a frontline soldier, Safra Tu...

Reiki can sound like a secret club from the outside, and that misunderstanding keeps a lot of people from trying a practice that could genuinely help them feel calmer, clearer, and more connected. I sit down with Patty Chevalier Montgomery, a lifelong elementary educator and Usui Holy Fire®️ III Reiki master teacher, to bring Reiki down to earth, tell the real story of how it shows up, and share what it looks like to live Reiki as ...

Color can be more than decoration. Sometimes it is information, a mirror, and even a kind of medicine. On this Ready Set Reiki journey, we are joined by intuitive artist and writer Heather Eck, with Dina Fortune as our co-guide, to explore what happens when synesthesia, spirituality, and energy healing meet the canvas. Heather shares how she senses people through specific shades, how those aura colors point to emotional blocks, and...

You can feel a life change coming before you can explain it and that’s where energy work gets real. Tracy   sits down with returning guest Gloria “Grace “Rand, founder of Radiant on Purpose, to talk about Reiki, light language, and the courage it takes to stop dimming yourself for other people’s comfort.

The fastest way to start a fight online about Reiki is to ask a simple question and watch as answers turn into attack. Ready Set Reiki hope is for  a calmer, smarter path, one where we can respect all systems all images and all schools of Reiki . Ready Set reiki invited two true way showers; Bronwen Logan of Reiki With Bronwen  and Mary Riposo   of Infinite Light Center. Together, we name what is actually happening b...

Tracy Searight shares her journey with a recent Hip replacement surgery. Years of Yoga and not listening to the whispers of her  body 

Someone told my daughter, “I heard your mother is falling apart,” and it hit me in a place I didn’t expect. Six weeks after a right hip replacement, I can finally name what’s really happening: I’m not falling apart, I’m being put back together. This is a ...

Reiki has a reputation for being all calm, cozy, and bliss, but what happens when a session brings tears, big realizations, or a total shift in how you see your life? I sit down with Jessie Rudi, PhD, a Reiki master teacher, mentor, and founder of Clearly Connected Healing, to talk about the real lived experience of Reiki and energy healing, especially for sensitive people who have spent years carrying what isn’t theirs.
<...

Reiki can be life-changing,  it can also come with rules that make you second-guess yourself. I’m joined by Jayne Goodsir , a reclamation mentor and spiritual visionary based in Scotland, to talk about what happens when Reiki training leaves people with more questions than clarity and how to find your way back to authentic connection.

We get into spiritual sovereignty, why “permission-based” Reiki cult...

Your body is not ignoring your affirmations, it’s protecting you. When your nervous system is stuck in fight or flight, “trying harder” with your mind can feel like using the wrong tool for the job, and that’s where Reiki and somatic healing can finally click together in a grounded way.

We’re joined by Wesley Elliott, founder of Ahó Healing Arts in Plano, Texas, to talk about what changed when R...

Crisis work changes your body, even when you’re “fine” on the outside.  Andrea Ochitwaspent nearly two decades in emergency communications supporting people through high-stress, life-changing moments, and eventually had to step away due to occupational PTSD. We sit down together to talk about what recovery really demands: time, nervous system awareness, and tools that help you feel safe inside your own skin a...

You can do years of “good” personal work and still feel like something is missing, especially when healing stays stuck in your head. That’s why this conversation lands so deeply: we sit down with Ren Oberhill, a licensed counselor and experienced energy practitioner, to explore what changes when Reiki becomes part of real-world healing and not just a separate add-on.

We talk about growing up sensitive and i...

Reiki is one of those things people love to argue about until they actually experience it. I sit down with Reiki Master , May Yeary certified integrative health coach who found Reiki by accident, resisted it at first, then watched it transform both her personal life and the way she helps clients heal.

May shares her real world health story, including autoimmune struggles in her early 20s, the frustration of being dismissed, ...

Your hair appointment can be more than beauty maintenance. When someone is working around your head, listening closely, and helping you feel like yourself again, there’s already an energy exchange happening and most of us can feel it even if we don’t have a name for it. That’s why I invited  Liana Zee a Las Vegas hairdresser and Holy Fire Reiki Level 2 practitioner, to share how she blends Reiki and hairdress...

Your animal isn’t a passive client, they’re an active participant with preferences, boundaries, and surprisingly clear opinions. We sit down with Nancy Welsh, a Reiki master specializing in animal Reiki, to unpack what actually changes when you stop treating pets like tiny humans and start honoring consent, safety, and choice. We share stories from real sessions, including why animals often want only a few minutes of Re...
