Somatic Energy Healing: Serena Reynell on Reiki, Reconnecting with Your Body, and Aligning with Your Purpose
EPISODE #42 — MAY 30, 2025
In this episode, I’m joined by Serena Reynell, a somatic practitioner and energy healer, to explore how reconnecting with the body is essential for healing from burnout, stress, and misalignment. Serena shares her journey of leaving the corporate world, discovering Reiki, and stepping into intuitive, body-based healing. We talk about what somatic healing really means, how trauma and stress are stored in the body, and why practices like Reiki, yoga, and nervous system regulation are so powerful. Serena also explains what happens during an energy session, how group healing works, and offers simple tools to start grounding and reconnecting. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, stuck, or unsure of your purpose in life, this conversation is full of insight and gentle encouragement that will set you on the right path.
