Inspired by my clients’ reviews and testimonials and their aha moments, I compiled this information as 50 Benefits of Reiki. These benefits are all statements my clients have shared with me after and during their Reiki sessions. These are their own words. It’s how real people feel and what...

January often arrives with big intentions: change, clarity, new habits. And yet, if you’re noticing that change feels harder than expected, you’re not alone. One of the biggest reasons transformation can feel challenging is what’s often called the monkey mind, the restless inner chatter that...

There are times in life when the familiar no longer fits, yet the new hasn’t taken shape. This in-between is called the liminal space, a threshold that asks us to slow down, soften, and trust. In liminal space, clarity cannot be forced. The more we hold our breath, the more answers slip away. ...

November 13 was World Kindness Day — a perfect reminder that kindness is not just something we share outwardly with others, but also a gift we can offer ourselves. Cultivating kindness is one of the most powerful things we can do for our own well-being, and self-compassion plays an essential...

When I started Thrive Reiki in February 2016, I brought with me years of experience as a marketing and communications professional. I had helped build organizations and departments, created Indonesia’s first pet lifestyle and wellness magazine, and developed a love for the systems and...
