Who i AM

A Brief Introduction to Myself and the Impact of Reiki on My Life

🌟 About Terri

Hello and welcome! My name is Terri, and Iam the founder of Iam Light Energy Reiki, based in Oshawa, Ontario. My passion is helping others reconnect with peace, balance, and inner healing.

My practice is grounded in helping people of all ages reduce stress and anxiety—especially the kind that builds up from work, caregiving, or the daily hustle. Using the healing power of Reiki and other energy tools, I support transformation on every level: body, mind, and spirit.

✨ My Journey to Reiki

My Reiki path began in 2018 with a gentle (but persistent) nudge from my cousin. At the time, I had no idea what Reiki was—but as a curious soul and lifelong learner, I said yes to the unknown. It wasn’t love at first light, but after a 21-day practice, I felt something shift. That inner pull only grew stronger.

Still, it took a few years before Reiki and meditation became non-negotiable parts of my life. Like many, I once felt guilty for prioritizing my own well-being—like self-care was somehow selfish. That belief began to shift during one of the most challenging seasons of my life.

I returned to Reiki, completed my Level 2 training, and made a conscious commitment to show up for myself every day.

As a single mom juggling life (with one thoroughly spoiled pet), I navigated anxiety, depression, mild OCD, perfectionism, and a relentless pressure to do it all. Eventually, I hit burnout—physically and emotionally. But through consistent Reiki and meditation, I found real relief: my emotions softened, my thoughts slowed down, and I finally slept—deeply and peacefully.

Reiki didn’t erase my challenges—but it gave me the inner tools to meet them with clarity and grace. Iam still a work in progress (aren’t we all?), but now Iam living in alignment with my purpose: to help others rediscover their own inner light.

My Business

My Space

My Reiki business is in my home where I share space, and my heart with my 3yo, 12pd Chiweenie rescue, Lady. Although your Reiki sessions are conducted in a peaceful and private room, to get there you will most definitely hear and see Lady at my front door.

Please! If you have any concerns with animals, possible short lived barking, whining or being greeted with exuberant tail wags Iam NOT the Reiki Master for you.

The Land

I would like to show my respect and acknowledge that I currently live and operate my small business on traditional and treaty territories of many nations include the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Anishinaabeg and the signatories of the Williams Treaties, which include the Mississaugas of Scugog Island, Hiawatha, Curve Lake, and Alderville First Nations, and the Chippewas of Georgina Island, Rama and Beausoleil First Nations who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land.

I am grateful for the Anishinaabeg who have cared for the land and waters within this territory well before the first settlers arrived and built this country known as Canada.

These territories are now present-day home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. I express gratitude for this diverse group of Indigenous Peoples who continue to care for the land and shape and strengthen our community.
