A Free Reiki Circle for Estranged & Alienated Parents

Estrangement from a child or grandchild can bring grief, confusion, guilt, anger, and a love that does not simply disappear. This free Reiki circle was created specifically for estranged and alienated parents who need a quiet place to breathe, release some of what they are carrying, and reconnect with themselves. Watch the full session, subscribe for future Reiki experiences, and learn how to join upcoming live circles.

Watch a free Reiki circle for estranged and alienated parents focused on grief, surrender, emotional release, self-trust, and finding peace while still holding love.

Estrangement from a child, grandchild, or someone you love deeply can create a kind of grief that is difficult to explain.

There may still be love. There may still be hope. But there can also be sadness, anger, confusion, guilt, unanswered questions, and the exhaustion that comes from carrying all of those things at once.

I created this Reiki circle specifically for parents and grandparents experiencing estrangement or alienation.

This free guided session is a space to slow down, breathe, receive Reiki, and gently release some of what has become attached to the love you still carry.

You do not have to solve the relationship during this session.

You do not have to decide what happens next.

You do not have to stop loving anyone.

For a little while, you are simply invited to receive.

You can watch the full session here.

During the circle, we move through grounding, breathwork, Reiki, loving light, emotional release, surrender, self-trust, and a gentle intention of love for the people we miss without attempting to control their choices or their path.

One of the intentions woven throughout the session is learning that healing yourself does not mean giving up on the person you love.

Peace is not permission for what hurt you.

Healing is not forgetting.

And continuing to live your own life does not mean that you have stopped loving someone who is absent from it.

You Are Welcome Here

If you are navigating estrangement, I want Healing Energy Studio to be a place where you do not have to explain why you still love someone who has hurt you or why grief can exist alongside hope.

There is room for all of it.

There is also room for your own healing.

You are allowed to release some of the weight without releasing the love.

You are allowed to reconnect with yourself.

And you are allowed to have beautiful days while your story is still unfolding.

Watch the free Reiki circle, subscribe to the YouTube channel, and join me live whenever you feel called.

Reiki for Grief or Emotional Healing

My approach to Reiki during times of grief is shaped by personal experience. I have lived through the loss of a child, the unexpected loss of my father, and the loss of a sibling. Those experiences changed the way I understand grief. They taught me that grief isn’t something that can be rushed, explained away, or fixed with the right words.

I also understand that grief can be complicated by family dynamics, including estrangement and alienation. These experiences can add layers of emotional complexity that many people carry silently.

Grief is one of the most profound emotional experiences a person can go through. Loss can affect every part of life, not only emotionally but also physically and mentally. People who are grieving often describe feeling exhausted, heavy, disconnected, or unable to fully relax.

Reiki offers a gentle form of support during times of grief and emotional healing. Because Reiki helps the body enter a deeply relaxed state, it can soften some of the physical and emotional tension that grief places on the nervous system. It creates a quiet space where the body can rest and begin processing what it has been carrying.

I also understand that grief can be complicated by family dynamics, including estrangement and alienation. These experiences can add layers of emotional complexity that many people carry silently.

Because of this, my work is always grief-informed. When someone comes for Reiki while navigating loss or emotional pain, the goal is not to push emotions away or try to move through grief more quickly. Instead, the intention is simply to create a compassionate space where the body and heart can feel supported.

Sometimes what people need most during grief is not answers, but a quiet place where they can breathe again.

Reiki cannot erase loss, but it can help the body carry that loss with a little more gentleness and ease.

Why I Became a Reiki Practitioner

As I continued receiving Reiki sessions, something interesting began to happen. I started noticing that I was carrying less emotional weight. The heaviness that I had been living with began to feel lighter. Over time, Reiki became every bit as helpful to me as talk therapy had been — but without having to revisit and relive painful experiences over and over again.

Instead, I began setting intentions during sessions to release certain emotions or experiences and allow them to move through me.

Then life changed in a way that no one can ever fully prepare for.

People sometimes ask what led me to become a Reiki practitioner. The truth is, it wasn’t something I set out to do. My path into this work started with simple curiosity and a little skepticism.

When I first scheduled a Reiki session, I didn’t really understand what Reiki was. Like many people, I assumed it was some kind of massage or bodywork. I was curious enough to try it, but I wasn’t expecting much.

The session itself surprised me. There was no massage, no muscles being worked, nothing that looked like the kind of therapy I was used to. And yet when I left, I felt incredibly relaxed. I remember being confused by how calm and peaceful I felt even though nothing physical had been done to my body.

It felt so good that I decided to go back again.

Instead, I began setting intentions during sessions to release certain emotions or experiences and allow them to move through me.

Then life changed in a way that no one can ever fully prepare for.

My beautiful daughter passed away unexpectedly at the age of twenty-two.

Nothing prepares you for the loss of a child. There are no words that can fully describe it, and there is no way around the journey that grief demands. You simply have to walk through it.

During that first year after she passed, Reiki became something that helped me survive the darkest moments. It didn’t erase the grief, and it didn’t take away the love or the loss. But it softened the heaviness. It helped ease the emptiness and the feelings of guilt and regret that can accompany profound grief.

Reiki gave my body a place to rest when everything felt overwhelming. It gave my heart space to begin healing.

Over time, I began to realize something else. The more I immersed myself in this work, the more I discovered that I also had natural gifts as a healer. Several people encouraged me to explore those abilities and develop them so that I could help others the way Reiki had helped me.

That encouragement eventually led me to become a Reiki Master myself.

As I continued studying energy healing, I also discovered the Emotion Code. I was immediately drawn to it because of how beautifully it complements Reiki. While Reiki helps the body relax and restore balance, the Emotion Code works with trapped emotional energy that may still be stored in the body.

Together, these approaches create a powerful and compassionate path for emotional healing.

I will be completing my Emotion Code practitioner certification this week and plan to complete my Body Code certification by the end of the summer. I’m excited to bring these modalities together in my work because they offer different ways to support people as they move through their own healing journeys.

My goal in offering these sessions is simple. I hope to help people who are navigating their own challenges — whether that’s stress, grief, emotional pain, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life.

Every person’s journey is unique. Healing doesn’t look the same for everyone, and it unfolds in its own time.

But I believe that with the right support, it is possible to move through even the most difficult experiences and eventually find yourself in a place where peace, joy, and happiness begin to return to everyday life.

Helping people find their way back to that place is why I do this work.

Interested in experiencing Reiki or the Emotion Code®?

If you feel curious about exploring energy healing for yourself, I offer both in-person and remote Reiki sessions, as well as Emotion Code® sessions designed to support emotional release, balance, and overall well-being.

Each session is a calm and supportive space where your body can relax and begin restoring balance at its own pace.
