Who is Nia (Purpose)
Born and raised in Tampa, FL, I now call Philadelphia, PA home. I embrace life as an 'Adventure, Freedom & Joy Seeker'. Whether I'm immersing myself in nature, glidin' on roller skates, or traveling to embrace cultures and languages, my heart truly finds joy in the richness of our world and the experiences we can create within it.
With a background in Social Studies Education and community work, I'm passionate about Collective Healing, Mindfulness & Wellness, and the transformative power of nature. I'm dedicated to honoring my community and fostering a more just world for all, guided by the philosophy of Ubuntu, "I am, because you are."
My Journey to Reiki
My own path to Reiki was a deeply personal one, born out of my journey of healing and self-discovery. Along my journey,
I encountered numerous revelations that reshaped my understanding of myself and the world around me.
I discovered the power of releasing unhelpful habits and cycles, confronting lingering traumas, and unraveling the grip of fear, perfectionism, and anxiety. Through introspection and growth, I unearthed the profound ways in which our bodies respond to chronic stress and past traumas, illuminating the connection between mind, body, and spirit.
In the year of 2020, I embarked on a new chapter of my
healing journey by integrating my innate intuitive & healing gifts with the practice of Reiki. Under the guidance of the wonderful Reiki Master Natasha Nirvana, I obtained certification in Reiki II in the Usui lineage.
I started by practicing Reiki on myself and felt its powerful impact, which inspired me to share it with my community. Throughout this journey, I've come to recognize the unfortunate truth that healing support isn't accessible to everyone. My goal is to make healing more inclusive and attainable for all. To dismantle barriers of cost and accessibility, I offer free and sliding-scale donation based sessions to anyone in need of healing.
~Sacred Healing with Purpose was birthed from me honoring my gifts, my purpose and my community. I am forever grateful to all who support me through this journey.~
