Return to Yourself
Intentional Healing Spaces for People
Consent-Based Support for Animal Companions
Integrative Therapy and Reiki
6 Ray Healing creates spaces where individuals can slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with their natural capacity to heal—integrating mind, body, and spirit. This work is a complementary, integrative approach and is not a replacement for psychotherapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. It is designed for individuals who want to explore emotional, relational, or behavioral patterns in a structured, mind-body-based healing container.
Many of the people I work with have already done significant inner work. But something can still feel stuck or incomplete. Together, we create space for something different—gentleness, reconnection, creativity, and the gradual return of aliveness.
With 18 years of experience as a counselor and therapist, I bring clinical understanding, Reiki energy healing, 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 grounded, respectful space where we can slow down, listen deeply, and move forward together.
I offer in-person sessions in Kalamazoo, MI and live virtual sessions via Zoom worldwide. Many clients are surprised by how connected and supported they feel online—often sharing that it feels as if I’m right there in the room with them.
To support meaningful progress without creating dependency, I offer mentoring and integrative healing containers with a clear beginning, middle and end, typically 5–8 sessions per pattern, available in 60 or 90-minute formats.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese relaxation technique that promotes healing. It can be done hands on or off, virtually or in person. It’s typically experienced as calming, grounding, and deeply soothing, and can help people shift out of stress states and into a sense of ease and internal safety.
You don’t need to believe anything for it to be supportive and most people experience it as a quieting of the nervous system and a felt sense of rest. Reiki never harms and helps healing to unfold at the right pace.
You Might Be Here Because
-
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 spiritual awakening and need steadier ground
-
you’re a helper, healer, or therapist who is tired of holding everything together
If this feels familiar, you’re not alone.
And it doesn’t have to stay this way. Healing can be gentle and still move you forward.
Ways We Can Work Together
I offer several ways to support healing, reflection, and connection — for both people and their animal companions:
Empowerment Mentoring Sessions
Coaching and Reiki for helpers ready to take charge of their healing or integrate holistic tools into their work
Integrative Therapy Sessions
Focus on a specific issue or pattern and receive customized support through counseling, Reiki, and holistic practices
Animal Reiki
Consent-based Reiki support for animals and their guardians. Sessions are available in person, live virtual Reiki over Zoom, or Reiki at a distance.
Usui Ryoho Reiki I and II Apprenticeship
A gentle, personalized 4–8 week journey into Reiki for those ready to deepen their connection. You’ll build confidence using Reiki in everyday life, supported by teachings from Reiki the Healing Touch by William Lee Rand.

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 experiencing psychosis
If you are in a tender or urgent season, I encourage working with the licensed medical or mental health providers who can offer the care you deserve.

“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.
I guide people back to their center so they can hear, trust, and respond to their own inner wisdom again.
If you feel called to explore that process, I would be honored to walk alongside you.”

Hi I'm Ren
About Me
I’m an Integrative Therapist and Reiki Practitioner, blending counseling and parts work with intuition, nervous system awareness, and Reiki-based energy healing. I love working with both people and animals, and for the past 18 years I’ve walked alongside others through healing and life transitions.
I’m a member of the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), a lifetime member of the Reiki Healing Association, and part of the Reiki Business Collective. These communities support my commitment to offering a grounded, ethical, and safe space for your healing.
My work is centered on helping you slow down, reconnect, and listen inward. From there, you can begin to integrate your healing and trust yourself more fully as you move through life.
My 1:1 mentoring and healing sessions blend Reiki, hypnotherapy, body wisdom, and intuitive practices. Each session is designed to honor your safety, autonomy, and spirit. Reiki can support deep relaxation, emotional clarity, nervous system regulation, and a deeper connection to your inner knowing. My approach is steady, present, and attuned to you.
I’ve been studying and practicing Reiki for over three years, becoming finishing Usui Ryoho Reiki III, or the Master level. I am recently certified in Holy Fire III Usui Reiki I/II and Animal Reiki through the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). I continue to deepen both my education and practice.
I’m also honored to share that my article, The Ways Reiki Enhanced My Therapy Practice, was published in Reiki News Magazine (Spring 2026).
My Philosophy
My mentoring and apprenticeship offerings are alignment-based and designed with intention. Entering a healing container is a meaningful decision, and I prioritize beginning on the same page through free discovery calls and initial intake sessions.
Most of my containers are intentionally short-term. My role is not to create dependency, but to support you in strengthening trust in your own inner guidance so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-trust.
I believe that healing is most sustainable when it reconnects us to our natural capacity for insight, choice, and change. In many cases, this process also creates space for greater ease, clarity, and joy.
In all sessions, your intuition—and your pacing—lead the process. This applies whether I am working with individuals or supporting animal companions. I believe this approach creates a grounded, empowering, and sustainable experience of growth and healing.
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 nervous system, and often in our
emotional and energetic patterns as well.
In energy traditions, they often show up as patterns across different areas of experience, including:
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
Through integrative therapy and energy healing, 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:
helping you return to yourself so you can embody your healing, rebuild trust, and allow joy in.
