Energy is energy, we all have the power to heal ourselves we need to believe that, and sometimes what we really need more than a prescription is a teacher. Someone to guide us and teach us how to relearn what we were born with, to reprogram ourselves and free the energy inside of us to heal. We are blessed and honored to have Carrie join us to talk about Reiki and to see energy healing in a completely different light.
