Ready Set Reiki

Some stories are loud with chaos. Matthew Goldstein’s story is quiet with courage. From the ache of early labels and the lure of numbing to the steady work of sobriety, he found a path through Reiki that asked him to feel what he once ran from then showed him how to let it move.

We sit down with Matthew, a newly certified Reiki Master teacher and founder of Divine Alignment with Reiki Master Matt, to trace the moments that mattered: distance sessions that cracked open old emotions, the choice to meet them with honesty, and the surprising peace that followed. He dismantles a common myth.
Reiki as a quick fix—and explains why real change combines energy work with daily responsibility. We explore the five Reiki principles as living practices, not pretty quotes, and why “just for today” turns overwhelm into momentum.

Matthew shares how he chooses practitioners who lead with humility, how recovery tools and Reiki complement each other, and why working with clients navigating ADD and addiction feels like coming home. You’ll hear practical advice for beginners, a book recommendation that keeps the work accessible, and how distance healing can feel deeply connected across states and oceans. Most of all, you’ll leave with a humane roadmap: name what hurts, sit long enough to hear it, and build your new life one honest day at a time.

Matthew Goldstein is a certified Reiki Master Teacher.He was attuned to level 2 Reiki in  2021 and have been getting treatments done since 2018. He  completed his Reiki Master Teacher's certification and has  this own business in Goodyear, Arizona called Divine Alignment with Reiki Master Matt!

What if the most powerful shift in your life began with letting go of what kept you small? We sit down with Coventina Waterhawk ; intuitive guide, Reiki master teacher, and award-winning author—for a raw, uplifting journey through forty years of dual diagnosis recovery, stigma-busting advocacy, and the quiet, persistent healing of Reiki.

Coventina takes us from early tarot readings in a metaphysical shop to discovering Reiki and an unexpected gift of mediumship. She explains why energy work is often subtle yet profound, how skepticism fades in the face of lived outcomes, and why daily practice builds clarity, calm, and resilience. Along the way, we unpack common misconceptions about Reiki and energy healing, and we discuss how breathwork, visualization, and compassionate structure help people navigate anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and grief.

This conversation doesn’t look away from hard truths. Coventina shares being dismissed by providers, judged for symptoms, and told she didn’t “look suicidal.” She makes a compelling case for treating mental health like physical health, with symptom literacy and real support. You’ll hear how releasing decades-old, draining friendships unlocked momentum: book awards, community work, radio and TV interviews, and teaching in a holistic IOP for dual diagnosis. Her book, Dually Diagnosed, Dually Blessed: From Struggle To Purpose, amplifies diverse recovery stories and offers practical tools for families to help without enabling.
We also get tactical. You’ll learn what a session with Coventina looks lik from guided breath to card reading for clarity to Reiki for integratio plus how to vet practitioners, trust intuition, and choose practices that resonate. If you’re seeking grounded spirituality, evidence through experience, and a path from pain to purpose, this episode offers hope and a roadmap.

Healing can feel like trying to untie a knot in the dark or until someone hands you a light. We sat down with licensed mental health counselor and trauma specialist Elisa to explore how Reiki, somatic practices, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy can open real paths to relief without promising quick fixes. From immigrant beginnings to a life devoted to service, Elisa shares how spiritual practice and science meet in everyday tools that restore calm, clarity, and hope.

We trace her first encounters with Reiki and why it became a foundation for both self care and client work. We dig into the biggest misconceptions around energy healing, what “holding space” actually looks like, and the qualities that make a trustworthy practitioner: gentleness, humility, and an open mind. On the practical side, we break down grounding skills for sympathetic dominance, why small daily practices beat occasional breakthroughs, and how to tell your healing is working when life tests you—like choosing grace in traffic or meeting grief with breath.

Alisa  also unpacks the neuroscience of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy in clear, human terms. You’ll hear how increased neuroplasticity can help rewire stubborn patterns in depression, anxiety, and trauma, and why integration and habit-building matter more than any single session. We close with her favorite reading list (Wayne Dyer, Joe Dispenza, Anita Moorjani), details on her upcoming trauma course, and where to find her book “Walking With Spirit.” If you’re craving a grounded, non-dogmatic approach that honors both data and the sacred, this conversation offers a map you can actually use.
  Alisa Gracheva deeply passionate about trauma work and is dedicated to integrating both traditional and alternative healing approaches to support deep, lasting transformation. With expertise in methods such as EMDR, CBT, Logotherapy, and Spiritual Guidance, as well as Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), she helps clients access profound healing. Believing that trauma lives in the body and that reconnection with the Higher Self is essential for true peace, Alisa brings a spiritually grounded approach to mental health. She has extensive experience supporting individuals in crisis, those with mental health and substance use disorders, and has spent years working with sacred plant medicine, energy work, sound healing, and integration. Her specialties include Trauma, KAP, Grief and Loss, Life Transitions, and Spiritual Growth.

A special Ready Set Reiki as I circle back around to past guests to find out what they up to now? What if the dream you manifested finally arrives—and the person you are now no longer wants it? We open up about divine timing, the courage to pivot, and choosing alignment over obligation. With Rose: teacher, energy alchemist, podcaster, and breast cancer warrior—we explore practical ways to reclaim your throne: a grounded physical sanctuary and an inner seat of intuitive power that guides every yes and no.

We dive into seasons of life and the tools that keep you centered through each one. Journaling becomes a compass for foggy months, revealing patterns you miss in the rush of parenting, caregiving, and career shifts. We talk about adding timelines to intentions, blessing them with Reiki, and still practicing discernment when they land. Burnout gets honest airtime too: stepping back after big projects, ignoring comparison culture, and building offers that feel organic—like workshops before long programs—so the work stays joyful and sustainable.

Teaching emerges as a surprising calling for many practitioners. You may start with sessions and discover your deepest impact is training others, amplifying healing across communities. We share stories of transformation, the value of retaking trainings with new teachers, and why collaboration beats competition—especially among women lifting one another’s work. Expect grounded takeaways: protect your pace, laugh often, write things down, and let adventure find you, whether that’s a new workshop or a month living in London. If you’re navigating a pivot or seeking your next step in Reiki, this conversation offers clarity, courage, and gentle direction.

A Journey of Self-Discovery and Healing

Rose's path to becoming an Energy Alchemist was shaped by life's challenges and triumphs. Before embracing her spiritual calling, she built a successful career in the corporate world, managing multi-million-dollar projects for Fortune 500 companies. However, it was during this time that she began her spiritual journey, turning to yoga, meditation, and Reiki to navigate personal struggles, including the loss of her mother.
A pivotal moment in Rose's life came during a Reiki session when she received a prophetic vision of having twins—a vision that materialized eight years later with the birth of her identical twin boys. This powerful experience not only gave her hope and guidance but also deepened her commitment to energy work and healing. 
Rose's dedication to energy healing deepened when her twin sons were diagnosed with a medical condition. Drawing on her skills as a Reiki Master & Teacher, she used energy work to support their healing process. This experience solidified her belief in the transformative power of Reiki and energy work, inspiring her to share her knowledge with others.
Empowering Others

What if healing could be simpler, kinder, and closer to the bedside than we think? Tracy sits down with Teresa Morris a registered nurse, midwife, hospice caregiver, and longtime Reiki teacher—to map a path from conventional care to energy work that feels practical, ethical, and deeply human. Teresa shares how meditation led her to the Reiki symbols, why she shifted from Healing Touch to Reiki’s non-directive intelligence, and how quiet intention can ease a hospital room without calling attention to itself.

The heart of the conversation is grief and growth. After losing her mother, Teresa turned to the chakra system to understand pain at its source, pairing Reiki with clear questions that help clients locate beliefs, patterns, and relief. She walks through accessible tools with journaling before and after meditation, using lavender to calm the limbic system, grounding with crystaland offers clinicians discreet ways to support patients: holding a hand with intention, blessing medication, sending distant Reiki after a shift. No theatrics, no gatekeeping, just compassion with structure.

We also cover what makes a good psychic or teacher; communication, integrity, and the courage to empower rather than upsel. 
. If you’re considering a pivot into spiritual work, Teresa’s roadmap is clear: ask why, meditate, journal, research, trust your gut, and move at your own pace. Energy follows attention; when we choose kindness, rooms change. Listen, learn, and bring one simple practice into your day.
