Return to Yourself
Intentional Healing Spaces for People
Consent-Based Support for Animal Companions
Inner Child + Joy Integration
I created 6 Ray Healing to help thoughtful, sensitive people slow down, regulate their nervous systems, reconnect with themselves--especially after therapy work, life transitions, or periods of emotional overwhelm. With 18 years of experience as a counselor and therapist, I see myself as a guide. I don’t position myself as the authority over your life — you are the expert on you. My role is to create a respectful space where we can slow down, listen, and walk together.
To avoid creating dependency in our work, I offer healing containers of 5-8 sessions at 60 or 90 minutes. Sessions are conducted in person in Kalamazoo, Michigan, or virtually via Zoom.
You Might Be Here Because
•Your mind rarely stops running
• You’ve done a lot of personal growth but something still feels stuck
• You’re sensitive to others’ emotions and energy
• You want to trust your intuition again
• You’re navigating a life transition or spiritual awakening
• You’re a helper or creative and tired of holding everything together
If this feels familiar, you are not alone.
These patterns can change — gently, from the inside out.
In Sessions We May Work With:
• nervous system regulation
• subconscious beliefs
• Reiki — a gentle energy practice that supports relaxation and nervous system balance
• guided meditations and/or hypnotherapy
• intuitive tools for insight
• body awareness and emotional processing
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.
Inner Child + Joy Integration Sessions
A blend of Reiki, hypnotherapy, 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.

Licensed Counseling via Grow Therapy
This section focuses on my licensed counseling practice. My holistic services (Reiki, energy work, clarity sessions) are separate and not part of licensed therapy.
I offer short-term, goal-focused counseling for adults navigating life transitions, career or identity questions, and a desire for greater clarity and purpose. My sessions emphasize empowerment, self-trust, and practical tools to move forward with confidence.
Who It’s For:
-
Thoughtful, self-aware adults ready for short-term, goal-focused sessions
-
Clients seeking clarity, confidence, and intentional action
-
People navigating career, life transitions, relationships, or personal growth
What to Expect:
-
First session: 60 minutes to clarify goals, explore challenges, and create a plan for your growth
-
Follow-up sessions: 45 minutes, focused on insight, tools, and action
-
Collaboration and client-led pacing—your intuition and priorities guide the work
How to Book:
-
Sessions available via Grow Therapy
-
In-person in Kalamazoo, MI, or virtual via Zoom
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.
My Holistic Clarity 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 joy.
