Who i AM

 💫 About Terri

 Hello and welcome! Iam Terri, founder of Iam Light Energy Reiki in Oshawa, Ontario. I believe healing begins when we finally give ourselves permission to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with who we truly are. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, grief, burnout, or simply feeling out of balance, my intention is to provide a safe, compassionate space where healing can unfold naturally. 

 💫  My Journey to Reiki

 For much of my life, I was the person who looked after everyone else.

Like many people, I experienced periods of stress, uncertainty, and searching for something that could bring me back to myself.

When Reiki entered my life in 2018, I never imagined it would become the foundation of the work I now have the privilege of sharing with others. It wasn't love at first light, but after a 21-day practice, I felt something shift. 

 It took a few years before Reiki and meditation became non-negotiable parts of my life. Like many people, I once believed self-care was selfish—until one of the most challenging seasons of my life showed me otherwise. 

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, perfectionism, burnout, and the 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 life's challenges, but it gave me the inner tools to meet them with greater calm and clarity. I'm still a work in progress (aren't we all?), but today I have the privilege of helping others reconnect with their own inner light. 

 💫 My Philosophy 

 If I can help someone leave a session feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to themselves than when they arrived, then I know I'm living my soul's purpose. I believe healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you've always been beneath the stress, worry, and expectations of everyday life.
