I didn’t plan to become a healer.
Life pushed me there step by step.
I was in my twenties, living in Bangkok and teaching English. I was bored, so I started getting a lot of massages. One day I saw a sign: someone was looking for a partner to study Thai Massage. The hours worked, the price was right, so I said, “Why not?”.
From the first training, I fell in love.
I continued all the levels, including the traditional herbal Thai massage. They use bundles of roots wrapped in cloth, warmed and pressed into the body before the massage. The herbs relax the muscles so the therapist can go deeper. Thai massage can be intense. It breaks the body apart and puts it back in the right place. But after two hours, you don’t walk out… you float. The first time I finished a session like that, I felt like my feet weren’t touching the ground. That’s when I knew this work was for me.
Massage gave me something real and physical to hold onto. I’m a very realistic person, and massage grounded me.
Life went up and down. Slowly, I grew into my gifts.
My energy work started much earlier.
When I was around sixteen, something happened. One night I woke up and felt a presence next to me. I couldn’t move. I felt touch at my heart and my third eye. It was fast, but it opened something. Soon after, I put my hands on a friend with stomach pain. I saw a green light. Two hours later, his pain was gone.
At that time, I didn’t know this was Reiki. I just knew something was happening. I became more sensitive. I could read people, sense their path, feel what was true. I was young and had no guidance, so sometimes I hid behind tarot cards, letting the cards speak for what I already felt.
Later, when I studied massage professionally, I decided to study Reiki properly. I realized energy work has rules, structure, and responsibility. My first teacher gave me the basics, but something was missing. So I continued in the U.S. and completed Reiki Level 3 and Master training with a strong teacher who emphasized practice and confidence.
Reiki is not about being a saint or a monk. It’s about being clear, grounded, and working from a good place inside yourself. Healing doesn’t come from weakness, it comes from strength and the desire to give.
Today, I teach Reiki as well. I teach grounding, chakras, preparation of space, and how to protect yourself. I stay in touch with my students because questions always come when people begin to practice. Healing is a process of growth and trust.
My path also brought me to Guatemala.
Here, something opened again. The land is ancient. The ceremonies, the traditions, the connection to nature. It feels familiar to my soul. I’ve lived in San Pedro for many years now, and this place supports my work and my energy.
