ABOUT 
​Reiki practitioner
​Suzanne Holmes

I'd love to share with you a little bit about my background, and how I came to practice Reiki.

I was living an active life with adventures and ambitions, but in 2012 I was waylaid by a big injury. This seemed to have a cascading effect in which I faced other injuries, limited mobility, and chronic pain. I experienced feelings of grief and loss, and a lot of learning (however begrudgingly).

Though I wouldn't have planned this for myself, it sent me on a fascinating path of trying many healing modalities. Like so many others with a chronic health issue, I left few stones unturned - through Western medicine, Eastern medicine, and alternative medicine. I wondered if it was possible to come back home to safety and capability in my body. Was it possible to rediscover my natural well-being, emotionally and physically?

This led me to healing my nervous system, and ultimately to Reiki.

I experienced a Reiki session, and afterward I eagerly signed up for a Reiki training course, studying Angelic Reiki and Usui Reiki with Lynn Blos in Northern California. I completed my Professional Practitioner's certification in Angelic Reiki.​

Unexpected challenges and growth can change us in ultimately beautiful ways. My empathy has been cracked wide open to anyone going through a challenging moment, and I've been guided to hold healing and loving space for those seeking it. I welcome all to my practice. 

As a mom of two, I am particularly moved to practice Reiki on pregnant and postpartum moms. And I have a deep understanding of anyone going through chronic pain, and would be honored to practice Reiki with you.
