Summer Healing and Energy Support Offerings
Summer has a way of becoming incredibly full. More activity. More travel. More socializing. More movement. More stimulation.
And while summer can be beautiful, it can also pull us away from ourselves if we aren’t intentional about creating space to reconnect, rest, regulate, and heal.
One of the biggest lessons I learned last summer was the importance of balance. After an extremely busy season, my body eventually forced me to slow down and listen. Since then, I’ve become much more intentional about building healing, meditation, nervous system support, and energetic care into my life—especially during the summer months.
Because of that, I’ve created several offerings for May, June, July and August to help support others through this season as well.
Whether you’re simply curious about energy work, looking for emotional support and grounding, or feeling called to dive deeper into your healing journey, there are several opportunities to connect this summer.
Blue Moon Release Ceremony
Co-hosted with Helen Craven
This May brings a powerful energetic opportunity with two full moons —including a Blue Moon, which symbolizes deep release, completion, and transformation.
This donationn based online ceremony will focus on:
releasing old emotional patterns
energetic clearing
letting go of what no longer aligns
healing and reflection
group energy healing and meditation
Full moons are traditionally a time of release, and having two full moons in one month amplifies that energy significantly. This ceremony is intended to help you create space for what’s next while allowing old cycles, emotions, or attachments to gently fall away.
This is also a beautiful opportunity if you’ve been curious about my work and want to experience my energy and teaching style in a relaxed, accessible setting. Message for zoom link! Donations can be accepted via PayPal, @NicholeHelenRetreat
8 Week Chakra Healing Meditation Journey
Beginning June 10th, I’ll be guiding an 8-week online meditation journey focused on healing and balancing the chakra system. Each week we will focus on a different energy center within the body through gentle and repetitive movements, breath, visualization, energetic awareness, and grounding/nervous system support.
We will begin with the Root Chakra and gradually move upward through the chakra system before ending with a full integration and activation and clearing meditation during our final week.
These meditations are intentionally designed to be approximately 30 minutes long so they feel realistic to incorporate into your weekly self-care practice. They are live every Wednesday at 9am central time zone, completely online via zoom, and if you cannot attend that time all gatherings will be recorded so that you can access when you are available and/or repeat as needed.
This series is perfect for anyone wanting to:
reconnect with themselves
feel more grounded and free
regulate stress and overwhelm
deepen body awareness
support energetic healing
create intentional self-care practices

You do not have to wait until burnout, exhaustion, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm to begin taking care of yourself.
Healing work is not about escaping life. It’s about creating balance within it.
As life becomes busier externally, it becomes even more important to stay connected internally.
I hope these offerings help provde a little more grounding, peace, clarity, and support throughout the summer.
Why take a Reiki Class?
There comes a point for many people when they realize that healing isn’t just something you receive— it’s something you can learn! A reiki class is an invitation back to yourself.
At it’s core, Reiki is a simple yet powerful practice that teaches you how to work with energy to support balance in your body, mind, and emotions. In a world that constantly pulls us outward, Reiki brings you inward—into awareness, presence, and self-connection.
One of the biggest reasons people take a Reiki class is for self-healing. Instead of relying solely on outside support, you gain a tool you can use anytime—whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, tired, anxious, or just needing a reset. It becomes part of your daily life, like breath or movement.
Others feel called to Reiki because they naturally care for others. Reiki allows you to support friends, family, or even clients in a way that is gentle, non-invasive, and deeply calming. You’re not fixing anyone— you’re simply creating space for the body and energy system to come back into harmony.
But beyond the technique something deeper happens.
Reiki classes often open the door to greater intuition, awareness, trust in self, and authenticity. You begin to listen differently— to your body, your emotions, and your inner guidance. Many people walk away not just with a certification, but with a sense of empowerment they didn’t have before.
You don’t need to be “spiritual enough” or have any special abilities to begin. Reiki always meets you exactly where you are. If you’re feeling a nudge, it’s usually for a reason.
I am currently a Registered Student Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training, and this path has asked me to rise into a deeper level of integrity, responsibility, and devotion to this work. It’s not just about learning techniques—it’s about embodying Reiki as a way of living. I view myself as a steward of Reiki energy, honoring the teachings while helping guide others back to their own innate ability to heal. My role isn’t to position myself above anyone, but to walk alongside my students, holding a safe, grounded, and energetically aligned space for them to remember who they are. If you feel called to Reiki, there is a reason. And it would be an honor to walk with you as you step into it.
Upcoming Usui Holy Fire Level I and II Training (2-day Certification):
April 25-26th Colb,y Kansas
May 23rd/24th (Online)
August 1-2nd Omaha, Nebraska

Reiki 101
Reiki has become increasingly popular over the past few years as people begin looking for ways to support their health, regulate their nervous systems, and reconnect with their inner balance. But one of the most common questions people ask is simple:
What exactly is Reiki— and how does it work?
Reiki is a gentle form of energy healing that originated in Japan. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words:
1.) Rei- universal or spiritual
2.) Ki-life force energy
Together, Reiki refers to the universal life energy that flows through all living things.
Just like blood flows through the body, energy also moves through the body. When this energy flows freely, we tend to feel balanced, calm, and healthy. But when stress, trauma, illness, or emotional strain builds up, that flow can become disrupted.
Reiki works to help restore natural flow.
What Happens During a Reiki Session?
During a Reiki session, the client usually lies comfortably on a massage table fully clothed in a calm, peaceful environment.
The practitioner gently places their hands either lightly on the body or just above it, allowing energy to flow where it is needed most.
Every session is a little different, but people commonly report feeling: deep relaxation, warm or tingling sensations, emotional release, sense of peace or clarity, feeling lighter or more balanced afterward.
Many people say it feels similar to entering a deep meditative state, where the body can finally relax enough to begin healing.
How Reiki Supports the Nervous System
One of the biggest benefits of Reiki is its ability to support the parasympathetic nervous system, often called the “rest and restore” state.
In modern life, many people live in a constant cycle of stress, pressure, and overstimulation. This keeps the body stuck in fight or flight mode, which can lead to symptoms like: fatigue, inflammation, anxiety, poor sleep, and tension in the body.
Reiki sessions help the body shift out of this stress response and into a state where repair and regulation can occur naturally. This is why many people seek Reiki for stress relief, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
Can Anyone Learn Reiki?
Yes. One of the beautiful aspects of Reiki is that anyone can learn it.
Reiki training is traditionally taught in levels. In a Reiki 1 class, students learn how to:
understand energy flow in the body
perform Reiki on themselves and others
develop awareness of their own energy system
incorporate Reiki into their daily life for healing and balance
Many people take Reiki training simply to support their own healing journey, care for family, or to do it in some professional capacity.
Experience Reiki at the Healing Hub’s Living as Light
I have been practicing Reiki for 13 years now after a shared near death experience. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals who were navigating stress, life transitions, emotional healing, and spiritual growth. One of the most rewarding aspects of this work is watching people rediscover their own sense of balance, intuition, and inner peace as well as feel “lighter” and healthier. Healing often begins the moment we slow down enough to listen to what our bodies and energy are trying to tell us.
I offer Reiki sessions (in person and distance) and am also teaching as a Student Teacher with the International Center for Reiki Training. My home base is in Colby, Kansas. I also will be traveling to Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, and places within Kansas to teach Reiki Classes. Online courses will also be offered within the end of this year.
If you feel curious about experiencing or learning about Reiki, I would love to support you on that journey! Feel free to message me at healinghub.lal@gmail.com
