RETURN TO YOUR POWER, TO BALANCE, AND TO PEACE.
COUNSELING, SPEAKING & WRITING, AND ENERGY THERAPIES TO GUIDE YOU BACK TO YOUR BODY, YOUR WISDOM, YOUR JOY.

Reconnect with Your wise self

Hi, I’m Ren Oberhill, MA, LPC, a Licensed Counselor, Reiki Master Teacher, Speaker, and Writer, in Kalamazoo, MI.

With 19 years of experience working in Higher Education and as a private practice Mental Health Therapist, I bring clinical and experiential understanding, energy practices like EFT Tapping and Qigong, and an attuned awareness to this work. My role is to create a grounded, respectful space where we can slow down, listen deeply, and move forward together. You are the expert on your life and are honored as such. I am a guide who can help you to see your patterns, learn to understand and utilize your gifts, and to listen to your own wisdom.

My mission is to help people learn to manage their energy, prevent burnout, and illuminate patterns needing accountability. Victimhood keeps us experiencing lessons in a loop instead of allowing us to move through the healing spiral. I facilitate the understanding of your talents and strengths and illuminate your agency so you can understand how to operate in grounded balance. I will encourage you to connect to your personal power through the way you manage your energy. In this context, energy can include your thoughts, emotions, habits, behaviors, relationships and environments. The goal of my work is to facilitate the ultimate act of rebellion on a planet with so much duality: for you to heal your patterns so you can experience more joy.

If you are ready to shift patterns that feel unworkable and to take responsibility for yourself and your life, we will work well together. Working with me means that things will change, and not everyone is ready for that. And that is okay. I offer free 15-minute consultation calls so we can discuss whether this is the right time to work together.

I create empowered, trauma-informed environments where people can feel safe to relax, listen to themselves, and reconnect with their natural capacity to heal—integrating mind, body, and spirit. I offer customized session options and ask for consent during our work to create transparency and collaboration in our healing spaces.

It's important for everyone to feel connected to the person they ask to assist them with their healing. I feel very passionate about your ability to heal because of everything I chose to heal in my own life. Here are the life situations I personally experienced, healed, and integrated: growing up deeply sensitive in a chaotic and high control family of origin, feeling left out and alone, religious pressure, identity confusion, difficulty maintaining stress levels and anxiety, struggles with body image and self esteem, imposter syndrome, people-pleasing, the desire to prove my worth by fixing, saving and rescuing others, reparenting myself, car accidents, surgeries, chronic illness, divorce, alcohol dependency and coping crutches, coparenting struggles, parenting and successfully launching my LGBTQIA+ child, systemic injury, codependent relationships, finding safe romantic love, grief and shocking losses, caregiver fatigue, reinventing my career, learning to honor and love myself, forgiving and releasing the past, and reclaiming joy in daily living.

Is This You?

These spaces are designed for people like you if you are interested in any of the following:

Learn to receive care, listen to your body, and understand and manage your own energy in any environment.
Receive practical tools and skills to break patterns of thought, beliefs, emotional weight, behaviors, and relational imbalances that weigh you down.
Talk openly about your experiences, discuss meaning and life purpose, shadow and younger parts work, life after death, intuition, your energy, and your perceptions.
Focus intentionally on shifting one specific pattern so your nervous system can integrate the work
Stand firmly in your unique skills and own your personal power without creating dependency on any external source.

Please note: Our work is a complementary, integrative approach and is not a replacement for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or Western/Eastern medical treatments. It is designed for individuals who feel mentally resourced and want to explore their repeating patterns in a mind-body-spirit inclusive healing container.

How We Work Together

To support meaningful progress with a clear beginning, middle, and end, we choose from a tailored menu of options based on your intention:

Mentoring for Helping Professionals and Energy Workers: I love mentoring and assisting helping professionals as we share the same giving hearts. I also teach and practice Reiki, (a Japanese relaxation technique that supports balance) and offer apprenticeships and mentoring for folks who are interested in learning better boundaries, how to give without self-sacrifice, heal from secondary trauma or caregiver exhaustion, or who want to learn Reiki.
Grounded Clarity: Counseling-informed techniques like Somatic, Shadow, or Inner Child/Inner Teen Work, combined with energy and other holistic tools to help you to calm your nervous system.
Receive Support When You Feel Overwhelmed: Receive Usui Holy Fire III Reiki, a Japanese relaxation technique that promotes balance and healing. Let go, unwind, receive in a safe space, either in person in Kalamazoo, or in the comfort of your own home. I set safe, consent-based containers so you can receive instead of doing more.
Subconscious Exploration: Exploring narratives using archetypes and themes, mindfulness practices to anchor and ground you, and guided meditations to help with relaxation and visualization.
Intuition and Expansion: Intuitive development and exploring your unique values, strengths, gifts, meaning, and purpose.
Energy Management and Nervous System Reset: Learn to manage your own energy so you can slow down and make empowered choices in your life. We engage practices like Mindfulness, Qigong, lymphatic movements, breath work, or EFT Tapping so you can learn to find your peaceful center.

Why You Might Be Here

If any of this feels familiar, you are not alone. And it doesn’t have to stay this way. Healing can be gentle and still move you forward.

Your mind rarely slows down, even when you try to rest.
You’ve done deep personal or therapeutic work, but something still feels stuck.
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 transition or awakening process and need steadier ground.
You’re in a position where you are exposed to secondary trauma, feel burnout, or are tired of holding everything together.
You want to understand and develop your gifts to be of service.

Higher Education, Corporate or Nonprofit, Professional Development, Speaking & Writing Engagements:

With a background in Higher Education and Private Practice Mental Health Therapy, I have extensive experience teaching, counseling and helping many different populations. My content expertise lives in helping others to build practices that help them to stay present and grounded. I use mindfulness, nonviolent communication, boundaries, archetypes and themes to help illustrate creative ways to engage in self care, healing and relationship building.

I love partnering with fellow helpers, healers, and businesses that are committed to overall wellness, and to the values of equity, justice and personal empowerment. Let’s connect over tea or coffee to co-create workshops.

I work with teams to: build communication or collaboration skills; engage in customized activities; relax with group meditation or recharge experiences; or receive tools for intuition and self trust. I also love to offer 1-1 employee wellness sessions that are geared to help increase personal agency and creativity while reducing stress, anxiety or burnout.

Intuitive Counseling with Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki

I offer Intuitive Counseling, which means that I use my inner wisdom to hold a non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, beliefs, emotions and choices. My background as a Licensed Professional Counselor taught me that the most important thing I can do is to affirm and support you as you explore what is working and what needs releasing. We help you to build curiosity, calm and care for yourself. You will have homework that is tailored to your specific needs. You can opt to receive Reiki energy, either separately from the counseling, or combined with it, to assist with calming your nervous system so you can better hear your own quiet wisdom.

My clients often express gratitude for having a space to share things that others might judge or that it feels challenging to explain. Intuitive Counseling looks at lessons in your life from a higher perspective, one of learning and growth. We can discuss shadow or younger parts work, spiritual topics you are curious about, explore your spirit's wisdom, and more.

Empowerment Mentoring Containers

Mentoring for Helpers and Reiki Practitioners: This offering is for helping professionals who experience secondary trauma, caregiver fatigue, feel burned out, live with imposter syndrome, or are in need of reclaiming balance between their work and personal lives. We work on boundaries, healing your nervous system, and giving you practical tools that you can integrate into daily living. This is also a great service for individuals wanting to explore the spirit element of self, to practice your intuition and manage your empathic nature. Similarly, if you studied Reiki, (a Japanese relaxation technique that promotes healing,) over a weekend and feel your Teacher is inaccessible, we can talk about mentoring options. I also offer private 1-1 Reiki apprenticeships with attunements and certifications that are catered specifically to individual learning styles, talent and interest. If you are curious about Reiki, I welcome you to try a 1-1 session with me so we can explore that path.
Career Alignment: As a Career and Employment Counselor for 11 years working in Higher Education, I loved illuminating patterns for people from all walks of life. I love helping you to understand, appreciate and utilize your unique talents and gifts. If you are feeling bored or unmotivated in your career, we can open the door to possibilities. We can use targeted assessments to give you data and create a personalized plan for you to objectively see your options. Practicing the art of networking and interviewing, utilizing decision-making tools, working with manifestation techniques, and focusing on what lights you up is all part of this container.

Energy Management Sessions for Adults, Kids, or Teens:

Clinical Foundation: Experience a grounded and age-appropriate approach where you can slow down, calm your nervous system and tune into your knowing. Managing energy includes managing boundaries, understanding your biosphere, and how to navigate relationships and the environments in which you participate. Learn to trust the subtle information you are receiving and feel empowered to make decisions that align with your values and needs.
Practical & Intuitive Integration: Build confidence and practice releasing the energy that doesn't serve you through using concrete somatic and energy practices (sound, breath, and movement) with intuitive energy tools that empowers you to regulate yourself and your space regardless of external factors. If you would like to receive Reiki, you may receive a separate session, or receive within the session container.
*A Note: I only accept sessions with people under 18 if they are open and willing to do this work. Caregivers can attend parts of the session with the teen/child's permission. A separate parental consent form is needed for these sessions.

BOOK A SESSION NOW

My Philosophy on healing:

"Healing doesn’t require forcing ourselves to change, and it doesn’t happen because someone else tells us what to do. It begins when we feel safe enough to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with ourselves.

Utilizing years of experience helping people uncover what is right with them, I guide you back to your center so you can hear, trust, and respond to your own inner wisdom again. If you feel called to explore that process, I would be honored to walk alongside you.”

— Ren Oberhill, MA, LPC, Licensed and Intuitive Counselor, Reiki Master Teacher

Honoring Safety & Readiness

Because our work deeply engages the subconscious and the nervous system, these sessions are structured as a complementary, integrative approach. They are best suited for individuals who are:

Emotionally resourced
Free of non-prescribed substances 24-48 hours prior to session, and rested
Not in acute crisis, active addiction, or experiencing psychosis

If you are currently navigating a tender or urgent season, I highly encourage you to work with the licensed medical or mental health providers who can offer the care you deserve.

About

ABOUT ME

Meet Ren

The name 6 Ray Healing came to me in a meditation and it signifies my desire to help connect people to their own 6th sense, or inner wisdom. I love helping people to connect to their subtle natural abilities so they can perceive that inner nudge that operates beyond the 5 senses. I facilitate self trust, confidence and empowerment. Building self trust and removing doubt after difficult experiences can shift your life in fascinating ways. I love seeing people light up with the recognition that they can move forward with their own power and volition. Once you feel balanced in your mind, body and spirit, and empowered in your personal agency, satisfaction and joy are natural, intended outcomes.

I blend my counseling skills with intuition, nervous system awareness, somatic wisdom, and energy therapies. I practice and teach Reiki energy, as it is a gentle, yet powerful way to transform your relationship to yourself and to the world through receiving. So many of us are used to effort, struggle and persistent toiling. Reiki helps us to find the balance we need to feel peaceful, regardless of what is happening around us. For the past 19 years, I’ve walked alongside others through challenges, deep life transitions, loss, career changes, and healing from patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is steady, present, and deeply attuned to you.

I am also honored to share that two of my article submissions are published in Reiki News Magazine. The Ways Reiki Enhanced My Therapy Practice, was published in Reiki News Magazine (Spring 2026). Read that HERE.

Why I Do This Work

As I worked through my own healing, I noticed that a core belief kept me small:

“It’s not safe to be fully myself.”

Along the way, other beliefs stemmed from that one:

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, the nervous system, and our energetic patterns. In energy traditions, these blocks often show up as chronic tension, self-doubt, or overextension across our energetic centers (Chakras):

Root — fear, instability, survival stress

Sacral — guilt, suppression of emotion, desire, or pleasure
Solar Plexus — shame, self doubt, loss of personal power
Heart — grief, disconnection, self-abandonment
Throat — silence, people-pleasing, difficulty expressing truth
Third Eye — confusion, self-doubt, lack of inner trust
Crown — disconnection from meaning, guidance, or spiritual trust

By combining energy management with Counseling, grounding techniques, mindfulness, and intuitive tools, we work gently with these patterns—without forcing insight or re-living trauma. Instead, we create space to slow down, regulate your system, and reconnect with your natural clarity, strength, and inner guidance.

This is the heart of my work: ethical, grounded sessions that prioritize consent, pacing, and emotional and energetic awareness, so you can return to balance and your Wise Self.
