The Intent Behind the Heart
Hi, I’m Katie — and I believe in the sacred power of slowing down, softening, and coming home to yourself.
I’ve worn many titles in my life — artist, athlete, writer, therapist, sister, wife. Each one has shaped me, but none of them define me as much as the space I now hold for others: a space of presence, remembrance, and healing.
Like many who walk this path, I came to energy work because I needed it. In 2020, I lost my younger brother — my best friend — and found myself in the depths of addiction and grief. That loss brought me to my knees. But it also cracked me open.
Through what I can only describe as divine guidance, I found Reiki. Or rather — Reiki found me.
As a southern-raised Christian, I struggled at first. I wrestled with what I had been taught versus what I was feeling. Was this aligned with my faith? Was this work safe, sacred… or something else? But God whispered, trust me. And I did.
Reiki, I came to learn, is not a religion. It’s not in competition with faith. It’s the channeling of universal life force energy — what I now understand as love in its purest form. In my practice, I invite Christ into every session. I begin with prayer, asking for my hands to be vessels for the healing that is needed.
My belief is simple: when our hearts are open and aligned with love, we become instruments of peace.
Reiki is not a replacement for medicine. It is a complement — a way to soften the body, quiet the nervous system, and return to the self. I often describe it as guided stillness. A chance to step out of fight or flight and into a space where your body and mind can rest, release, and realign.
It has changed my life. And if you’re here, maybe it’s trying to meet you, too.
I would be honored to share this work with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or for a discovery call. I believe healing is a sacred partnership — and if you feel drawn, that’s more than enough reason to begin.
With unconditional love,
Katie Dwyer
