About Me
The Reiki Practitioner Behind Risi & Shine
There was a point in my life when I realised I was stuck in a kind of hamster wheel, following a path that no longer really felt like mine. I wanted to come back to myself, to notice what I actually needed and figure out what truly felt good for me. Reiki became an important part of that. My first Reiki treatment moved something in me, especially on an emotional level, and showed me a new direction. That experience shaped my interest in Reiki so strongly that I eventually trained in it myself. Today I'm a trained Reiki practitioner (Usui Reiki Ryoho, 1st and 2nd degree/Okuden). Even during my training, my Reiki teacher noticed that intuitive, attentive awareness was something that came naturally to me.
That's still what shapes my work today: genuine connection with you matters to me, so I can look at the bigger picture and find the best way to support you on an energetic level. I tune in closely to what's going on in your energy system, and I don't just stay with you during the treatment itself, I also share little things you can carry into everyday life, so you can develop a better sense of your own body and more mindfulness over time.
In my experience, Reiki can unfold differently when experienced regularly, which is why some people choose a series of treatments. But there's absolutely no expectation to commit to several. You're always welcome to begin with just one.
Outside of my work too, connection and intuition are an important part of my life. I'm a mother of two, I love nature, and I've always felt deeply connected to its energy. I don't believe in boxes or in there being one right way, people and their stories are far too individual for that. It's that same openness I bring into every encounter and every Reiki treatment.
"Risi" was my nickname growing up, and it still holds a deeply personal meaning for me today. "Shine" stands for what I try to embody myself and hope to awaken in others too: shining from within, and letting your true self come through in everything you do.
