Can you tell us about your personal journey and how it led you to become a Reiki Practitioner and Self-Love coach and what inspired you to start zenjennholistic ?
In the past I suffered from trauma, abandonment issues, and physical, mental, emotional and spiritual abuse. I was severely depressed, angry, and confused all the time, say the least. To be honest, I didn't think I could ever really be happy, loved and have a fulfilling life. I decided I wanted to heal and REALLY change and I did not want to be a victim anymore!
I started doing yoga and meditation. At first it was definitely challenging to quiet my mind, but I started to get the hang of it. Then I learned more about spirituality, crystals and essential oils. Then I was introduced to Reiki! Honestly Reiki saved my life! For the first time EVER, I actually felt happy and I was healing all of my old wounds. I felt true self-love, confidence and and self-worth! I was able to set strong boundaries and really step into my power.
Without Reiki I wouldn't be here today, living out my mission as zenjennholistic and helping people who are ready to experience healing, happiness and ready to take their lives to the next level! I was given a purpose to help heal and transform people's lives, the way I was healed and transformed!
As a Reiki Practitioner and Self-Love coach, what do you find most fulfilling about your work?
The fact that I can help heal and transform people's lives so they can attract abundance, love, happiness and joy!
What are some common challenges you've encountered in your journey as a holistic healer, and how have you overcome them?
When you're on a healing journey, it's important to keep in mind that healing is not always linear. It may have it's ups and downs, and you may be triggerd from time to time and it does take time to heal. We often want things lighting fast, but keep in mind, however long it took for trauma, depression, anger, anxiety, etc., to build up in our systems, it's going to take some time to break down those blocks. Just because healing takes time, does not mean it can't happen! Healing is not an overnight process, but when you start clearing out those old beliefs and blockages, that's when you notice a shift in yourself, and that's when the transformation starts to occur and you notice your life begin to change.
How do you incorporate practices like Reiki and self-love coaching into your clients' lives to help them achieve balance and healing?
Self-love and Reiki offers transformative benefits for one's overall well-being. Embracing self-love involves cultivating a positive and compassionate relationship with oneself, fostering a sense of inner worth and acceptance. This mindset can lead to reduced stress, improved mental health, and enhanced resilience in the face of life's challenges.The combination of self-love and Reiki creates a powerful synergy, fostering a deeper connection with one's inner self, enhancing self-awareness, and facilitating a journey towards holistic healing and personal growth.Together, these practices empower individuals to nurture their well-being, embrace self-compassion, and foster a more harmonious and fulfilling life!
Can you share a particularly memorable success story or transformation from your work with a client?
I work with a client who went through years of sadness and depression. She often felt unworthy and unloved. She attracted partners who were emotionally unavailable. Using Reiki and Self Love Coaching I have been able to clear many of her blockages around the Root, Solar Plexus, Heart and Throat Chakras and worked with her on finding true self-love and self-compassion and helping her assert stronger boundaries. She is now thriving and is happy! She is attracting higher quality partners and better career opportunities! We still work with each other to help her stay balanced, but we both are so proud of how far she's come! I love being able to help people feel confident and happy in who they are!
Building a business in holistic healing often involves breaking away from traditional career paths. What advice would you give to others aspiring to pursue similar paths?
Find what makes you happy! For me, with a background in Marketing and a degree in Design, doing design projects still makes me happy, so I still do consulting as well! I love the healing energy of Reiki and the creative energy of design. You don't only have to do 1 thing to be happy and successful. Having multiple sources of income is another great way that can lead you to freedom and success.
How do you stay motivated and inspired in your own self-care and personal growth journey while also supporting others in theirs?
It all comes down to my WHY. Why am I doing this? Why is it important for me to help heal and transform people's lives? Once I bring it back to my WHY, that's when I feel inspired again!
In the journey of self-love and healing, setbacks and moments of doubt are inevitable. How do you navigate through these challenges personally and support your clients through theirs?
Doubts happen. We're spiritual beings having a human experience, so it's completely normal when doubts pop up here and there. When this happens I take it back to the beginning... I make a conscious decision that I don't want to live in that mentality. So I start meditating and journaling more. I start to do more yoga and find introspection as to why I'm feeling this way. I do clearings with sage, Palo Santo, incense and essential oils. I use crystals and do Reiki Healing and Chakra Balancing to help me re-align and rebalance, and I do this as many times as I need to in order to overcome any limiting beliefs. I do the same thing with my clients. We will continue to work on any blockages as many times as needed, so they can overcome them and feel peace!
Looking ahead, what are your hopes and aspirations for zenjennholistic in the coming years?
My goal is to start being a part of retreats and seminars doing Reiki and giving wellness and self-love tips for a large group of people!
