Return to Yourself
Intentional Healing Spaces for People
Consent-Based Support for Animal Companions
Reconnection and Aliveness Integration
I created 6 Ray Healing to support thoughtful, sensitive people in slowing down, regulating their nervous systems, and reconnecting with themselves—especially after therapy or deep personal work.
Many of the people I work with have already experienced deep hardship. Healing doesn’t have to require more suffering. Together, we create space for something different—gentleness, reconnection, play, and the gradual return of aliveness, or the curious and dynamic spark inside that makes you feel grateful to be alive.
This work is especially supportive during life transitions, burnout from over giving, spiritual awakening, or times of emotional overwhelm. I also work closely with therapists and helping professionals who are navigating balance, guilt, or systemic pressure.
With 18 years of experience as a counselor and therapist, I bring both clinical understanding and intuitive awareness to this work. I don’t position myself as the authority over your life—you are the expert on you. My role is to create a respectful, grounded space where we can slow down, listen deeply, and move forward together.
I offer live virtual sessions over Zoom for people in every location. This work translates beautifully online, and many clients are surprised by how connected and supported they feel—often sharing that it feels as if I’m right there in the room with them. You’re welcome to settle into a comfortable space where you can sit or lie down and fully relax during our time together.
To support meaningful progress without creating dependency, I typically offer mentoring and self-healing containers of 5–8 sessions, available in 60 or 90-minute formats.
You Might Be Here Because
• your mind rarely slows down, even when you try to rest
• you’ve done a lot of personal or therapeutic work, but something still feels stuck or incomplete
• you’re highly sensitive to others’ emotions or energy, and it can feel overwhelming
• you’ve lost touch with your intuition—or find it hard to trust yourself
• you’re moving through a life transition or spiritual awakening and need steadier ground
• you’re a helper, healer, or creative who is tired of holding everything together for everyone else
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
And it doesn’t have to stay this way.
In Sessions We May Work With:
• regulating your nervous system and restoring a sense of safety
• exploring subconscious beliefs and internal patterns
• recurring relationship dynamics and emotional responses
• Reiki — a gentle energy practice that supports relaxation and self-healing
• younger and protective parts work
• intuitive tools for insight, clarity, and self-trust
• reconnecting with your body and processing emotions at your own pace
Everything is consent-based and paced according to what feels safe for you
Ways We Can Work Together
I offer several ways to support healing, reflection, and connection — for both people and their animal companions.
1-1 Mentoring and Healing Sessions
A blend of Reiki, (including Usui and Angelic Reiki), hypnotherapy, grounding practices, nervous system support, and intuitive guidance to help you reconnect with yourself, release old emotional patterns, and restore a sense of clarity, safety and aliveness. Perfect for people who have already done therapy work and are ready to embody safety and happiness.
Animal Reiki
Consent-based Reiki support for animals and their guardians. Sessions are available in person, virtually, or at a distance.
Honoring Readiness & Safety
Because our work engages the subconscious and nervous system, sessions are best suited for individuals who are:
-
Emotionally resourced
-
Substance-free and well-rested
-
Not in acute crisis, active addiction, or psychosis
If you are in a tender or urgent season, I encourage working with licensed medical or mental health providers who can offer the care you deserve.

"Healing doesn’t require forcing yourself to change, and it doesn’t happen because someone else tells you what to do.
Healing begins when you feel safe enough to slow down, listen, and take responsibility for your own life.
I guide you back to your center so you can hear, trust, and respond to yourself again.
If you’re ready to explore that process, I’d be honored to walk beside you." -Ren
Hi I'm Ren
About Me
I’m a licensed Counselor and Energy Practitioner who loves working with people and animals. I have 18 years of experience walking beside others through healing and life transitions.
I create intentional healing spaces that help people to slow down, reconnect, relax and listen to themselves and what they need in order to integrate the healing work they have done.
My 1-1 Mentoring and Healing Sessions blend Reiki, hypnotherapy, body wisdom and intuitive practices. All sessions are built to honor your safety, autonomy and spirit. Reiki supports deep relaxation, emotional clarity, nervous system regulation and reconnection to your inner knowing. My approach is always steady, present, and attuned.
I have been practicing and studying Reiki for over three years, and I am recently Animal Reiki Certified through the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). Read my Animal Reiki Offerings. I continue to deepen my education and practice.
I’m honored to share that Reiki News Magazine published my article, The Ways Reiki Enhanced My Therapy Practice, in their Spring 2026 issue.
My Philosophy
My mentoring and apprenticeship offerings are alignment-based. Entering a healing container is a thoughtful process, and it matters to me that we begin on the same page — which is why I offer free discovery calls and initial intake sessions.
Most of my containers are intentionally short-term. My role is not to create dependency, but to help you strengthen trust in your inner guidance so you can live with confidence, and self heal without more trauma. I believe that joy is essentially connected to our gifts and purpose. Assisting with the process of discovery and clarity is a part of my purpose for this lifetime.
In all of our sessions, your — or your animal’s — intuition and pacing lead. I think this approach creates the most empowering and sustainable experience.
Why I Do This Work
Nearly every person I’ve worked with carries some version of the same core wound:
“It’s not safe to be fully myself.”
Along the way, we may start to believe:
-
I can’t trust myself.
-
Others know better than me.
-
My intuition isn’t real.
-
My feelings are a problem.
-
My voice will cause conflict.
-
If I am my whole self, I won’t belong.
These beliefs don’t just live in the mind —
they live in the body and the energy system.
In energy traditions, they often correspond with imbalances in the chakra system:
Root — fear, scarcity, instability
Sacral — guilt, suppression of desire, escape through pleasure
Solar Plexus — shame, perfectionism, collapse of personal power
Heart — grief, unworthiness, self-abandonment
Throat — silence, pleasing, over-explaining
Third Eye — confusion, self-doubt, distrust of intuition
Crown — rigid dogma, scrupulosity, fear of Divine judgment
Through Reiki and the intentional healing spaces I hold, we restore balance across mind, body, and spirit. These spaces allow us to reflect on old patterns gently — without re-traumatizing ourselves — and to reconnect to your unique strengths, your gifts, and your inner wisdom.
This is my passion: to guide you back to your center, your purpose and your enthusiasm for life.
