Ready Set Reiki

What if the thing that once made you feel different became the compass that guides your life? We sit with Reiki practitioner and spiritual coach Kara Taylor to explore how childhood visitations, a life‑altering loss, and years in corporate shaped an empath who leads with feeling first. Kara shares the intimate arc from fairy footprints to a grounded Reiki practice, revealing how boundaries, discernment, and daily rituals can turn energetic overwhelm into steady clarity.We dive into the moment Reiki gave language to what her body already knew, and how learning the chakras reframed “too sensitive” as “highly attuned.” Kara talks candidly about setting limits with both people and spirit, why alignment matters more than aesthetics when choosing a practitioner, and how lunar cycles and the Schumann resonance can amplify what sensitives pick up. She also addresses common myths—especially the idea that Reiki is religious—offering a calm, inclusive view that honors faith while keeping the focus on energy, intention, and healing outcomes.For aspiring healers, Kara’s advice is refreshingly practical: release timelines, find mentors, hire help for the tasks that drain you, and build community before scaling. We also tour her services—one‑on‑one Reiki, empath coaching, NLP for limiting beliefs, and meditation support—and preview her 2026 beachfront retreat designed to help newcomers safely experience modalities like sound baths, yoga, and mini Reiki sessions.If this conversation brings you a sense of recognition or relief, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

She was raised in a home where expression and emotional safety were limited-her mother communicated through anger and intensity, while her father, an empath himself, kept his sensitivity quiet in a time when intuition was often labeled as "too much," "strange," or "woo woo." Growing up betweenemotional chaos and unspoken emotional depth shaped Kerith into an observer, a feeler, and eventually a seeker. While others made sense of life through what they could see, Kerith learned to navigate by what she could feel. Her sensitivity became her guidance system long before she had language for it.After years of pushing her sensitivity down to survive in both family dynamics and high-demand corporate environments, Kerith reached a point of awakening. She began exploring meditation, energy work, and somatic healing practices, and that is where she encountered Reiki. Her first experience with Reiki felt like remembering something ancient, like coming home to herself.From that moment, she committed to deep training and integration of Reiki as a foundation for her personal healing and for the work she now shares with others.Today, Kerith supports clients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals through Reiki, empath coaching, and healing workshops, with her first retreat currently being planned for 2026. Her mission is to help people understand their sensitivity not as a burden, but as a powerful internal guidance system.

A single word—courage—sets the tone for a raw, hopeful conversation with author and coach Nicole Gebhart about healing after pregnancy and infant loss. We open the door to her story of rock bottom, sobriety, and the moment energy work finally created space for relief when nothing else did. Nicole walks us through how Reiki eased anxiety and PTSD, why Holy Fire practices became daily anchors, and how faith and Reiki can coexist without conflict. She unpacks the biggest misconceptions she hears, then gets practical about what readiness looks like when change has to stick.From there, we explore the Emotion Code and how it complements Reiki by surfacing what the subconscious buries—assault, abuse, and grief that language alone can’t reach. Nicole shares how she chooses practitioners by resonance and trust, how she builds safety with clients by hearing their stories first, and why remembering key dates like Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day matters more than perfect words. We talk daily rituals that compound over time—mirror work, gratitude lists, journaling—and the power of service as structure: support groups she launches with every military move, coaching programs, and accessible Zoom circles for families who feel unmoored.For anyone stuck at a wall in therapy, searching for integrative healing, or curious about Reiki’s role in hospitals and trauma recovery, this conversation offers both validation and a path forward. You’ll leave with grounded tools, fresh perspectives on energy healing and faith, and an invitation to try the next right thing—especially when the old ways stop working.
