On this episode I sat down with Violet Louise, an Orange County based Reiki Master and psychic intuitive healer. She’s certified in traditional usui reiki, kundalini reiki, oncology reiki, animal reiki, and infertility/pregnancy/birth reiki - all of which have given her a very intricate comprehension of the energetic body, through which helps people gain a deeper understanding of their own energetic blockages and imbalances.

People tend to think of reiki masters as healers that will rid them of imbalances and diseases, but Violet makes it clear that she’s simply a channel... giving people the tools and awareness they need to take the power into their own hands for their own self-healing journeys.

We had a great chat, diving into her history and path, how she got into this line of work, and why she thinks everybody can benefit from reiki if they’re called to try.

Reiki’s been known to uproot psychological, emotional and physical traumas to help people move their lives in the right direction, but if there’s one big theme to take away from this episode, it’s that choosing to face these issues and raise our state, whether through reiki or any other sort of method, means taking on one of the biggest responsibilities of a lifetime, and should be done with attention, discipline, and positive intention.
