RETURN TO YOURSELF:
CLINICALLY-INFORMED ENERGY THERAPIES TO GUIDE YOU BACK TO YOUR BODY, YOUR WISDOM, YOUR JOY.
 

Reconnect with Your wise self

Hi, I’m Ren, MA, LPC, a Spiritual Counselor, Reiki Master Teacher and Hypnotherapist with sessions available in Kalamazoo, MI, and virtually or from a distance worldwide. With 19 years of experience working in Higher Education and as a private practice therapist, I bring clinical understanding, energetic practices and intuitive tools, 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. My mission is to help as many people as possible to own their energetic sovereignty by tuning into their own wisdom and gifts so that they can experience more connection and joy.

I create 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 sessions 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. Here are some of the life situations I have personally experienced: 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, Autoimmune Diseases and chronic illness, divorce, alcohol dependency and other coping crutches, a contentious custody situation, parenting an amazing queer person, systemic challenges, finding romantic love after pain, caretaking both parents and helping them pass, shocking losses, reinventing my career, learning to honor and respect who I am and find people/places that do the same, reclaiming the joy of living.

Some of the people I work with have already done significant inner work. Others are curious to learn about their intuition and want practical skills for connection to their inner voice. Many people I work with have trouble feeling quiet enough to listen inward, and we work on nervous system calm through practices and play. Sessions are great for kids who want to learn more about managing their own energy and the environments in which they participate. Maybe something feels overwhelming, stuck or incomplete for you. Together, we create something different—gentleness, reconnection, creativity, and the return of balance, joy and aliveness. You don't have to perform, over-analyze or struggle here. Energy meets us however we are.

Is This You?

​This space is designed for 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.

• Talk openly about spirituality, meaning, purpose, life after death, intuition, the biosphere, and the quantum field.

• Focus intentionally on shifting one specific pattern, your relationship to your self, or a perceived block.

• Stand firmly in your unique skills and own your power without creating a long-term 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 emotional, relational, or behavioral patterns in a mind-body-spirit inclusive healing container.
