From Dentist to Reiki Healer: A Journey of Skepticism, Surprise, and Service

I had always loved my profession. As an established dental specialist and teacher, I took pride in helping others, teaching students, and working in a field grounded in science and precision. Healing, to me, was rooted in evidence, anatomy, and clinical skill.

But life had other plans.

At one point, seeking help for my own personal well-being, I decided to learn Reiki. It was meant to be just for myself—a supportive tool for peace and balance. I never imagined it would change the course of my life.

When I reached the second level of Reiki training, I was introduced to the concept of distant healing—the idea that you could send healing energy to someone far away, without even being in their physical presence. As a rational, scientifically trained person, I was deeply skeptical. How could something so intangible actually work?

Curious to test it, I sent distant healing to a friend who had been struggling with severe sinusitis. The next day, to both her astonishment and mine, her symptoms had vanished completely. She was free from the discomfort that had plagued her for days.

Still trying to make sense of it, I was taken aback when, just a week later, she returned—not alone, but with three of her friends, each with different health issues. They asked if I could send healing to them as well.

Taking up the challenge

I agreed, more out of curiosity than confidence.

To my continued surprise, each of them experienced remarkable relief. And then they told their friends, who came with their own stories, their own pain, and their own hope.

One by one, people started reaching out—not because I advertised, but because of the results they felt and shared. What began as a quiet experiment became a growing current of connection, trust, and transformation.

And just like that, Reiki found me. Or perhaps, I found my deeper calling—not to replace my past, but to expand it. From dentistry to energy healing, my journey has taught me that sometimes, the most profound shifts begin with a single moment of openness and a willingness to try.
