One woman’s inspiring story of overcoming esophageal spasms and finding healing through holistic practices.

In a shocking turn of events, life took an unexpected turn for Nina when she found herself rushed to the hospital at the tender age of 33, convinced that she was having a heart attack. After numerous tests, she received a diagnosis of esophageal spasms and an unwelcome prognosis — a lifetime of antacids and pain medications. Determined to find a better way, Nina embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing that would change her life forever.

The realization that stress could be a contributing factor to her spasms prompted Nina to explore various holistic practices. She turned to yoga and meditation, which gradually reduced the frequency of her spasms and provided much-needed relief. Intrigued by the power of natural remedies, she also incorporated essential oils into her routine, effectively halting the spasms in their tracks. However, she yearned for a more robust solution that would address the root cause of her condition.

This led her to the path of Reiki and the exploration of trauma’s impact on the body. With unwavering dedication, Nina committed to two Reiki sessions a day for three months. The results were astounding. Not only did her spasms vanish completely, as confirmed by her new doctor, but she also bid farewell to the need for medication. Today, Nina proudly celebrates three years of being spasm-free and medication-free.

Reflecting on her healing journey, Nina recalls a pivotal moment when she realized the intricate connection between her pain, trauma, and the deeply ingrained belief of being unworthy of love. This profound revelation shed light on how this belief had permeated her work, relationships, and overall well-being. Armed with this newfound awareness, she confronted her wounds head-on, leading to profound healing and a renewed commitment to conscious living.

For those setting foot on their wellness journey, Nina offers some valuable insights:

1. It’s not going to be all rainbows and puppy dogs- be aware that when you heal there’s going to be some hard work and hard realizations that are going to pop up. 

2. Once you start, you’re on this path forever. The fact is that we’re constantly healing. No one is ever 100% “healed”. We all have work to do and lessons will repeat themselves until we heal those karmic cycles. 

3. Give yourself some grace. Part of life is making mistakes just so we can learn from them. 

4. Not matter what anyone tells you, no matter how “broken” you may feel, YOU ARE whole. And know that I see you in your Wholeness.

Allow yourself to embody this truth and recognize that others, like Nina, see the brilliance of your being.

As Nina envisions the future of wellness and spiritual healing in the US, she is filled with hope and excitement. More individuals are awakening to the shortcomings of the traditional healthcare system and seeking alternative approaches for their well-being. Integrative Health studies are gaining prominence in colleges, reflecting the growing demand for these transformative modalities. This shifting tide of change is already starting to manifest, with the integration of practices like Reiki into hospitals.

Nina’s inspiring journey serves as a reminder that healing is within reach for everyone. By embracing holistic practices and nurturing a deeper understanding of our individual stories, we can move towards a future where wellness and spiritual healing are the pillars of a thriving society. Together, we can create a world where wholeness and well-being are cherished above all.
