Every now and then, I get a message from someone asking: “Can Reiki/coaching fix/heal my {insert problem here”…} I never promise any healing or “cure” as that’s not within my control. Nothing can fix/heal you unless you’re an active participant in your own healing. So, in the work I do with clients, I can provide the best service possible; with energy work, that’s me acting as a facilitator for high vibrational healing energies, and by…
I’ve never really believed in the old saying “two halves make a whole”. It never really made sense to me. Don’t two whole people make a better partnership? If you’re half a person then you’re always looking for someone else to meet your needs instead of you being able to fill your cup without external sources.

If you’re struggling through something difficult, like a sand bog or a marsh, going back takes as much effort as is does to push through to the other side. The painful slog through needs to be gone through to get to the end.
