What can you tell me about yourself and your professional journey?
Hi, my name is Marie Brenza. I am a registered nurse and Reiki master practitioner. For over a decade, I have worked as a registered nurse in various aspects of healthcare. Over the last 5 years, I have focused more on energy healing, intuitive healing, mindset shifting, and spiritual awakening and transformation.
I began a career in nursing because there was always a part of me that knew I needed to be in the healing profession. I was also inspired to help others to heal because my son was born with a congenital heart defect, and had to undergo multiple surgeries in order to survive. It wasn’t until the last few years that I became a Reiki Master Practitioner, which has opened up a whole new chapter of healing for me. I continue to learn about various ways to bring healing into my practice. At this time, I am in the process of becoming certified as a group chakra healing practitioner. My goal as a professional is to provide multiple ways to help my clients, friends, and family heal stored emotions and unhealed traumas.
What are your Reiki sessions like? Can you walk me through one?
I offer Reiki sessions for those who want to do deep inner healing work to rebalance energy and release blocked and imbalanced chakras. All the client has to do is lay on my table and relax. During these sessions, I work with the power of the collective unconscious and the higher self that flows through me to the client. During these sessions I see visions, I hear snippets of information, I feel different sensations, I can see which chakras are balanced or imbalanced, and I work with the client’s Spirit care team and my care team. This can be composed of angels, deceased loved ones, our higher power, or whoever wants to come through into the session for the highest good, and together the healing light flows in and helps to balance, restore, and heal the client’s energy.
Once a session is completed, I discuss all that I observed during the session with the client and answer any questions they may have. Every session is different, even for clients who have multiple sessions with me, there are always new things that come up for healing. But what’s important is that each session provides some clarity to the client and a better understanding of how to improve their lives moving forward.
What can you tell me about your eBook “7 Steps to Inner Healing”?
“7 Steps to Inner Healing” was actually created for myself to use after my near-death experience. I was in a deep, dark place and found myself facing my shadow self head-on. Slowly, I began writing and journaling to release the traumas I was holding onto for so long. After I went through this process, I wanted to share this with other people, so I created the eBook. I thought if I could heal from within, I know other people could, too.
The eBook includes the 7 steps I followed in the process of working on my healing. It offers journal prompts, healing tips and techniques, and so many other options for people who really want to begin to transform their lives and begin the healing process.
You also offer different journals and Planners. How do they work and what is their purpose?
One of the journals I offer is the “Building Boundaries Journal”, which is exactly what the title suggests! For many years, I, like many others, struggled with setting and maintaining personal boundaries. This journal helps people learn to create boundaries in order to build healthy personal relationships, and also feel balance and empowerment in themselves.
Another option is the “Self-Care Planner” which pairs well with the “Building Boundaries Journal”. Many times, we spend so much time doing things for others that we neglect our own needs. This planner allows you to understand why self-care is important and helps to create time in your day to find space for yourself and your needs.
The “Speaking With Your Soul” journal is a deep dive into personal, family, and ancestral traumas that require healing. This is recommended for people who grew up in a traumatic environment as a child. It’s important to work through this journal slowly in order to really reflect on the deep scars. Once this is completed, you can then heal and release these stored emotions and move forward.
What would be your main advice to someone who is struggling through trauma?
When I meet a client, friend, or family member struggling through trauma, my first suggestion is to come back to yourself and get grounded. Drown out the noise, the hustle and bustle, and the on-the-go lifestyle that prevents you from hearing the request for healing that is coming from your soul. Begin to focus on addressing your needs so you can clear and balance the energy of your soul and connect with it on a deeper level.
Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
I take the work I do very seriously and put my heart and soul into the products I create, and the energy work and healing work I do. Anytime you work with me, I am dedicated to helping you fully and completely on your healing journey. Whether you purchase an eBook or a journal or book a session with me directly, I give my all to serve the community for the highest good. I pride myself on being approachable, so if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.
I also want people to remember that healing is an ongoing, lifelong process. We must put the work into ourselves on a daily basis. The transformation doesn’t happen overnight, and there will always be parts of ourselves we want to work on in order to live a life where we are at our true potential! So don’t give up and don’t get discouraged!
