Reiki is a Japanese form of stress reduction and relaxation that helps promote healing for the mind, the body, and the soul.
It’s meant to believe that we have this life force energy that flows through our body and when that is unbalanced, it can cause a lot of stress.
It can also cause emotional challenges and even result in physical discomfort.
As a Reiki practitioner, Blanca acts as the channel to help guide this energy through the body to help rebalance it. People have said that it feels like a warm, calm wave of peace. It is truly relaxing and meditative. And the beauty about Reiki is that it complements other healing modalities such as yoga, meditation therapy, acupuncture, and so many more. And it’s not tied to any religion or belief system.
It’s a very simple but powerful tool to help you in your natural healing process. It’s just one of those things that you have to experience in order to appreciate it.
How Reiki Came Into My Life
In 2017, I hit rock bottom.
I kept finding myself in abusive relationships—one after another—and I couldn’t understand why. I felt lost, stuck in a cycle of pain, and desperate to heal. That’s when Reiki came into my life.
At first, I thought it was “woo-woo”—some mystical energy thing that couldn’t possibly help. But I was willing to try anything. And what I didn’t expect was that Reiki would completely rebuild me—from the inside out.
Fast forward five years. During one of my sessions, my Reiki practitioner asked me a question that stopped me in my tracks:
“What makes you happy, Blanca?”
I paused. For a full 30 seconds, I had no answer.
Then I remembered a moment on the sofa with my husband, watching Teen Mom. A Life Coach came on TV, giving real advice and healing tools to young women who had been through so much. And the way they responded—how their energy shifted—was powerful. I sat up, pointed at the screen, and said—
“THAT. That’s what I want to do.”
That moment lit a fire in me. I realized I wanted to help people heal the way I had. I wanted to show others that they’re not broken—that happiness is possible after trauma. I started taking small steps toward that purpose. But like many of us, I kept one foot in the “safe zone”—a 13-year career in the tech industry.
Then, on January 16, 2024, that career came to an end.
My company broke up with me.
At first, I grieved. But after two weeks of feeling every emotion that came with that loss, something shifted. I realized… this wasn’t the end. It was the beginning of everything. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. I had finally been given the space to choose me—to stop putting my dreams on hold.
So I made the decision: I wasn't going back to tech.
I was moving forward with my true calling—becoming a Reiki Coach and Motivational Speaker.
Why Reiki?
Because it changed my life.
Over the eight years I received Reiki, I learned how to love myself. And as simple as that sounds, nobody had ever taught me how to do that—not even my parents. But I don’t blame them. I came to realize they were never taught to love themselves either.
Reiki helped me uncover my worth.
I’ll never forget what a wise woman once told me:
“You date what you think your worth is.”
That one sentence made me look at my dating history—and it was painfully clear: I didn’t believe I was worthy of healthy love.
-
When the Me Too movement resurfaced, I stood up and said, “I am no longer anyone’s victim.” That declaration set me free.
-
For so long, I communicated with resentment, anger, and pain. But once I learned to lead with love, I noticed a shift. I was finally heard—and deeply respected.
-
I remember walking into a friend’s house and seeing a quote on the wall: “I never knew how strong I was until I had to forgive someone who wasn’t sorry and accept an apology I never received.”
That quote hit me hard. I realized that by holding on to pain and resentment, I was only hurting myself. Those men who had hurt me weren’t thinking about me—they had moved on. It was time for me to move on, too.
Through this deep healing journey—self-love, worthiness, release, communication, and forgiveness—I finally attracted the kind of love I had always dreamed of. I met an incredible man, now my husband.
And more importantly, I found myself. I found my purpose.
Now, I help others heal—because I know what it’s like to feel broken, and I know what it takes to rise.
