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 Philosophy

If I can bring even a little more peace, balance, and healing into someone’s life—then I know Iam living my soul’s purpose.

Reiki is a powerful tool for transformation, and Iam deeply grateful to be able to share its energy. I would be honoured to walk beside you on your healing path.

With warmth and light,

Mission, vision and values

Mission

To provide heart-centered, intuitive energy healing and compassionate support that nurtures the soul, calms the body, and awakens the inner light—one session, one breath, one being at a time.

Vision

To co-create a world where healing is holistic, peace is accessible, and every person feels empowered to reconnect with their true self. Through Reiki, sacred transition support, and soulful guidance, I envision a future where energy work is not a luxury, but a way of life.

Core Values

Presence

I offer grounded, attentive care—holding space for healing without rush, judgment, or distraction.

Integrity

My work is guided by transparency, trust, and respect for the sacred nature of energy healing and end-of-life care.

Compassion

Everyone's path is unique. I meet each client with kindness, empathy, and deep reverence for their journey.

Empowerment

Healing doesn’t come from me—it flows through me, as I support others in reclaiming their power and intuition.

Connection

Whether in person, online, or at life’s sacred thresholds, I honor the unseen threads that connect us all.

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.
