How did you come to found Taproot Akashic Healing, and what inspired you to focus on Reiki-based healing?
Taproot was born out of a need for my own self preservation, to learn how to manage my own energy. After leaving the world of engineering and historic preservation, I began working locally with entrepreneurs and small business owners. These are strong and resilient folks who are passionate about what they do. But for them, the lines between the business and the self are blurred – the success of a small business is intricately linked to the energy of the individual person.
I realized pretty quickly that as people left our meetings with me feeling lighter and happier, I was feeling heavier and weighed down. A dear friend showed me how to clear this energy away, and how to conserve and protect my energy while giving to others. After this I was hooked! The more I managed my own energy, the more I was also able to help others by giving what they needed without depleting myself.
Although I had heard of Reiki from others, it was at this point that I looked into it more closely and it resonated so deeply. The fact that our own energy can be so free flowing and then get so stuck! And how energy can be transferred between energetic beings. This is what was happening to me and with Reiki I was empowered to clear out my own energy and continue to be strong enough to serve others.
When a family member was diagnosed with cancer, and was so frightened and fearful of the treatment, I just knew that there was a place for Reiki to help to calm their system, for them to embrace their own power and be part of their own healing process. And I knew my role was to help people tap into their power, and get comfortable (and confident!) knowing that they can be part of their healing.
I’m often asked about the name and where “Taproot” came from. Honestly it came from my Akashic Records! They told me to name my business Taproot, but I had to take the time to look up what this was!
How do you approach tailoring your healing techniques to meet the unique needs of each individual client?
As a generalization I can say most people don’t trust themselves or their own body. The medical field is so complex and confusing that people generally surrender to what a doctor tells them. So when something happens with their physical or emotional self, people often immediately become frightened and wait for someone else to tell them what is wrong. This fear of their own body permeates so deeply that it can take a while to build confidence in my clients that they can be in control of their own healing!
The key to helping each individual is to let the energy guide and flow. Some clients just need respite from their own mind and body and come to see me for energy clearing and stress relief. Others know they are on the brink of greater insight into themselves, their role in this world and knowledge of the Universe, but they don’t know what it means or how to dive in. Using the Akashic Records along with the Reiki allows for a deeper understanding of an individual, and allows their body to speak its truth, what traumas it has endured, and what it needs to heal.
What type of services do you offer?
Our reiki-based healing practice is based upon tapping into the power of the mind-body connection to get to the root of who you really are. We offer Akashic Record Readings for those who want to better understand who they have been, who they are now, and who they could be in the future. These have been particularly popular with those who are using plant medicine as a healing modality. Having an Akashic Record reading prior to a journey can help set strong intentions to build and develop trust in yourself, a critical component to this style of healing.
When we combine the Akashic Records with a Reiki Session, clients are able to receive the healing Reiki energy at a deeper, more resonant level, allowing me to tap-in and hear what their body needs to thrive. Very often information comes through regarding past lives or past traumas, or simply what is required to open the system and allow clear healing energy to flow.
We also offer Chemotherapy and Pre/Post Surgery Coaching. Here we use a combination of mind/body techniques and visualization, alongside Reiki energy work, to prepare the body, mind and spirit for the procedure. If the very essence of your body is open, receptive and welcoming of the healing, there is naturally less resistance, meaning the flow of healing is all working toward the same goal.
All of our Taproot services can be experienced remotely which has allowed many clients to be able to continue their healing journey from the comfort of their own home or while traveling.
Can you elaborate on the concept of tapping into the innate healing power within each person, and how it guides your approach to healing?
So many medical practices these days are disempowering – doctors and specialists working on your body, telling you what will be done to you, and what medication you should take. There is little acknowledgement that in looking after the whole person, not just the ailment, you can tap into the power of the human body to heal. Instead we see panic and fear leaving people feeling helpless, and causing the body to be in a state of distress, working against the natural path of healing.
I can tell you this with confidence: every person, and everybody, has the potential and energy within them to heal. My role is to help people get out of their own way, and use the power of their mind and the energy in their body to facilitate healing, rather than work against it with fear.
I find it particularly rewarding to work with patients who are starting their chemotherapy journey. Almost every person is frightened, scared to lose the life they know, leave their loved ones behind, and pass from this life. With Chemotherapy Coaching, we work to calm their nervous system down and reframe how they see chemotherapy – not as poison but as a healing medicine – and get them to be open to receiving. Like with Coaching Before Surgery, if we tap into the body’s natural inclination to heal itself, and put the panic-mindset to rest, then we see incredible results – less medication needed, less impact of the procedure, quicker recovery time.
As the Chief Healing Officer, what is your vision for the future of Taproot Akashic Healing, and how do you plan to further expand its impact within the community?
My passion is helping others see that they have the ability to use their own expertise and energy to heal others, and to heal themselves. In that context, I see the future of Taproot will be in business and corporate training. Staff burn-out and attrition are a huge issue in many professions. By guiding professionals, such as mental health therapists and front line workers to understand the dynamics of energy, how other people can impact them, and how they can manage their own energy, we will see an incredible resilience develop. This might mean less attrition, less sickness, and more compassion and love in these very stressful professions. Now who wouldn’t want more of that!
