Reiki Radio Podcast

Years after our initial conversation, I reconnect with Tonya Parker, a contributor to “Reiki Heart and Soul,” to discuss how her relationship with Reiki shifted into something she embodies, crystallizing during her 2020 training with Frans Stiene. Tonya shares many inspiring ways of seeing and understanding healing. Her message speaks to the hearts of healers and to the depths of our wounds.

Rev. Tonya Parker, MEd, EdS is the Founder and Creatrix of Mind Body & Soul Food, a holistic wellness and conscious healing practice devoted to nourishing women’s lives from the inside out. With more than three decades of experience as a psychotherapist, educator, healer, and spiritual teacher, Tonya bridges ancestral wisdom and modern restorative practices to support deep, sustainable well-being.

Through offerings rooted in mind, body, soul, and food, she creates sacred spaces for restoration, self-remembrance, and embodied leadership. Her work integrates Reiki, meditation, retreats, mindful nourishment, reflective writing, and community-based healing, inviting women to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with their truth.

As a self-identified W.I.T.C.H. (Woman In Tune with Conscious Healing), Tonya teaches from lived practice, guiding women to heal generational patterns, reclaim their voices, and rise as conscious leaders in their lives and communities.

Susan Stone is an Artist, Author, Reiki Master, Intuitive Healer/Counselor, Ordained Minister, and Initiated Shamanic Practitioner After a massive heat stroke in 2013, Susan had to give up her career as a professional gardener and reinvented herself as an entrepreneur. Starting her first brick and mortar business in 2017 when she opened ZenDen…a metaphysical, crystal, sage, and gift store.

After selling ZenDen at the end of 2022, Susan needed a quiet place to paint and to finish her next book. And true to her nature…within six months, The Arts was born! It celebrates all the arts - the creative, the music, the healing and the mystic arts. Today I interview Susan Stone, a contributor to the book “Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light,” about her path from decades of addiction and trauma to sobriety and healing through Reiki. Susan recounts a 1988 car accident that left her with compound-fractured ribs and years of untreated injury, leading to nine years on narcotics and worsening health, and describes how entering AA in 1997 and meeting her sponsor Holly led her to Reiki.

After sessions with Reiki practitioner, Elaine Roy, Susan took a deep breath for the first time in nine years and found her ribs visibly back in place. She discusses later experiences including being struck by lightning in 2010, a quantum healing session that restored her vision, her work with “heavenly helpers” during sessions, and her community offerings through The Arts Port Royal, free Reiki clinics, animal Reiki, and Reiki training for children, along with her books “We Heard You” and “The Magical Nature of Humans.”

On this episode, I speak with Jonathan Richardson, a contributor to Ifetayo White’s book, “Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light,” whose chapter is titled “Footprints.”  

"Unhealed Healers Don't Heal Anything..." - Jonathan Richardson

What happens when you want #Reiki to heal one thing, but what actually starts healing is YOU?!

Jonathan shares how his upbringing and marriage led him down paths of religious and spiritual exploration. His story is incredibly interesting and gives a peek into one person’s journey of recognizing emotional challenges, seeking healing, and the process of awakening to self in stages.   Jonathan begins by sharing a powerfully symbolic dream, weaving us through the journey of how different levels of Reiki training expressed through his life. There’s also insight around what being a Massage Therapist taught him about Reiki and energy. In the end, he leaves us with practical advice to support all practitioners on their paths forward.

On this episode, I interview Christal McElveen of http://neptunesgate.com, a fellow contributor to the book, “Reiki Heart and Soul: Many Stories, One Bright Light,” about her lifelong sensitivity to energy, growing up in a religious environment, and learning to cope with intense empathy and visions.

Christal shares how she eventually shut her gifts down, then was cracked open by her grandmother’s passing, leading to years of numbness, severe high blood pressure, and unprocessed grief. Her grandmother catalyzed her spiritual path, bringing Reiki into her life for deep, transformative healing. She also discusses Reiki levels, shadow work, grounding, intuition, and developing boundaries. I especially loved hearing about Christal’s “year of no” in 2023, redefining “selfish,” her path to reclaiming feminine softness, and how she now teaches Reiki and offers yearlong spiritual mentorship and other services.
