Reiki and life coaching: why I use both

People sometimes ask me: so are you a coach or a healer? And my honest answer is, both. Because I’ve seen that one without the other is often not enough.

What coaching does

Coaching works with the mind and with action. Where are you, where do you want to be, what is in the way, what is the next step. It’s practical. It moves things.

But sometimes you know exactly what to do. You’ve talked it through a hundred times. And you still can’t do it. The body says no.

What Reiki does

Reiki works with the body and with energy. You lie down, fully dressed, in a quiet room. I work with my hands, sometimes touching lightly, sometimes just above the body. You don’t need to talk. You don’t need to believe in anything.

What most women feel: calm. Warmth. Sometimes emotions come up, sometimes you just fall asleep. All of it is okay.

I’ve been doing personal development since I was about 18, and I’m a Reiki master. For me, Reiki is one of the fastest ways to bring the nervous system back to safe. And when your body feels safe, your mind can finally work.

Why both, together

When your mind is on fire, go through the body. That’s my rule.

So sometimes we start with Reiki, to calm everything down, and then we talk. Sometimes we coach first, and end with some energy work so you leave grounded and not spinning. It depends on the day, and on you.

It’s the same thing I always come back to: aligning your mind, your nervous system and your heart. Coaching takes care of the mind. Reiki takes care of the body. Your heart is usually already telling you where to go.

Which one do you need?

• If you feel stuck and confused, and you want clarity and a plan: start with coaching.
• If you feel exhausted, anxious, overloaded, and talking feels like too much: start with Reiki.
• If you feel both, and most of us do: a session can hold both.

What Reiki is not

Reiki is not medical treatment, and it doesn’t replace a doctor or a therapist. I don’t diagnose anything and I don’t promise healing. It’s a gentle practice for relaxation and for feeling more like yourself.

I see women in my cabinet in Paris, and in English. You can read more about Reiki and healing sessions, about life coaching, or about me as an English-speaking life coach in Paris.
