How I Found Reiki...

​​Story time kiddos.....


So it was maybe about 8 years ago (2016)  when I had my first Reiki session. I was reluctant to say the least. But let me explain….


I went to a women's networking event with my cousin. Meh, at the time, it wasn't really my scene, BUT I promised her I would go- so whatever I went. 


I did the whole thing.  I smiled, I drank champagne, I had many, many bleh conversations. You know the drill.



Towards the end of the event, I met a woman named Jalpa Dhaduk. She was a Reiki Master and a Nutritionist. At the time, I didn't really care to be honest. I was on my Adderall diet, so I was feeling "real in shape" ( blog to come) but Reiki.. yeah it didn't resonate. I've heard of it, but it always sounded so "woo woo" or too spiritual -- just not the type of conversation that was in my world at the time, but I was there, I'll listen...


Jalpa was patient. She didn't bombard me with information. Her explanation was just enough to peak my curiosity.


Nowadays, I look back and I get it . She understood where I was and what I was "capable of understanding" and frankly I appreciate that. Low and behold, she offered me a free Reiki session.


My response: " Why the fuck not? It's free!"


Our scheduled appointment was on a rainy Thursday, I'll never forget it. Her office was in Jersey City. I lived in the East Village. We weren't close. I wanted to cancel, but I didn't.


To this day, that was the best decision I've ever made.. Sounds dramatic and crazy- but wow was it worth it!


To Be Continued.....
