A New Year of Reiki Set Reiki 

What if your skincare routine could carry intention—and your healing practice could carry itself? Tracy sits down with  Mayumi Pachkoski, a Japan-born aesthetician and energy healer who built a six-figure salon from scratch and now mentors practitioners to grow with clarity, ethics, and calm. From her early skepticism to the moment clients began feeling “something more” in her facials, Mayumi shares how Reiki and kaizen turned curiosity into a credible business.

We explore a lesser-known history: why many Japanese people never learned about Reiki post–World War II, and how the practice quietly resurfaced after flourishing abroad. That context reframes modern misconceptions—this isn’t a trend, it’s a resilient tradition. Mayumi also addresses client fears about “bad energy,” offering clear language for what actually shifts during a session: stagnation clears, flow returns, and life softens. She gives practical ways to bring energy into skincare—infusing products with intention, engaging palm chakras during cleansing, and visualizing renewal—so everyday rituals become mini tune-ups.

Then we get tactical. Mayumi’s business guidance blends mindset and mechanics: start on the side while you save, invest in real business skills, price with self-respect, and focus growth on one lever at a time. She explains how money is simply energy in motion, how to release guilt around charging, and why consistency beats aesthetics for ROI. We talk boundaries, referrals when your calendar is full, entity choices, and the underrated power of “Reiki-ing” your business—goals, systems, and finances included.

If you’re a healer ready to grow without burnout, this conversation offers a grounded map: fewer, better moves, repeated with intention. Subscribe, share with a practitioner friend, and leave a review telling us your next 1% improvement—what are you ready to align?

SPEAKER_00:

Thank you, Tracy Knight. Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_02:

Wonderful. So let's begin our journey together. So tell everyone a little bit about yourself.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, I am originally from Japan and I came to Maryland in 1999. Beforehand, I um my husband and I used to work for the airline industry and based in Hawaii. And we decided to move here for the career change. And then I went into the beauty industry. First, I was a cosmetologist and then became an aesthetician. That really changed the world. I met the person, she's already retired, but she is Carol Waldeman. She's called a legend in the US aesthetic industry. She is the one that almost created this industry as a school of the first school of the United States. Actually, there is another school since they are the first, but um Mrs. Waldeman didn't argue, but I know she is actually the one because the state of Maryland asked her to create the first aesthetic school in Maryland because Maryland wanted to become the first state. Anyway, so she guided me through this aesthetics, and then in the curriculum, already energy healing was kind of a massage component. I didn't realize around that time. She already certified with the reiki, but in the massage technique, uh, she incorporated the technique, it's called pariety therapy and so forth. So we didn't know what it was, but the massage itself was uh very, you know, incorporate incorporated with the energy healing. So after I became a citizen, started to create my own special skincare private salon. Uh people start saying that you're healing people. And at first it's like, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just doing the facial. No, you're healing people. Miami, it's more. Uh people start saying, name the reiki, uh facial, and then sell it. I said, I don't know what the even the reiki is. What is it? So that's how I get into the energy healing, you know, world. And then make the long story short and then became successful. And as an immigrant, I I made that yeah, that that the first uh threshold of the yeah, little success of that six-figure level of the revenue. So now I um decided I can empower fellow wellness workers who are utilizing the energy healing, can create the thriving business. Uh, that's my you know story.

SPEAKER_02:

So we're on our journey here. You were connected with the energy. Did you find Reiki or do you think Reiki found you?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh I think that uh I don't know, it's it's difficult to say. Reiki probably um found me because people keep saying Reiki Reiki. And I was born raised in Japan. This is the um very interesting that people don't know. Uh many Japanese we don't know that Reiki was uh because there is a history behind. I can answer it later. So in the beginning, I was very spec skeptical. People said, oh Reiki, you should, you know, you should do Reiki. What's Reiki? It's like, oh, Japanese healing modality. Oh no, I'm native. I grew up in Japan, I graduated from college there. I never even one time heard the word of Reiki. DC is, I thought, like, oh, this is wrong, and then somebody's scamming people, uh, misleading people. So, first class, actually, I took was okay. People keep telling me, uh, you know, take the Lakey course or anything. Okay, I'm gonna figure out who the hell they are teaching, you know. I'm like, I know this is totally false, very script. I thought people scamming by utilize calling about Reiki because I never grew up listening even the one word uh one time of Reiki. So that's how I went to the workshop. So probably Reiki wanted to find me. No, it's Reiki, so why don't you come to the uh workshop? Right, that's how I was guided.

SPEAKER_02:

That would be interesting. This could possibly be kind of an answer to the next question of misconceptions that people have about Reiki. I think that they because you hear Japanese technique, that everybody would everybody would know.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, so this is a long time ago. See, nowadays there is an AI, you can research just in a click and then it's gonna show up many things. But around the time when I opened the salon was 2008, uh, even there wasn't one method of researching it. But I start to research after I attended the first workshop. The uh first workshop that the first Reiki, you know, level one, when I attended, it's like, oh, okay, but the reading and then teaching sounds like regiment and Chinese kanji character, it's correct. Uh, they are using the oldest, older style of kanji that's still kind of using uh um Chinese style, but reading into Japanese phonetic style. I learned that uh for uh all that from the classics and of Japanese and everything. So it's like a legit 1928 area. Oh, it sounds right. So um I started researching it. Uh as you know, uh we had the World War II and Japan lost the war, and we had the two nuclear bombs um uh dropped, and the country was devastated, and we decided to rebuild. Uh, under the circumstances, you know, we are very grateful that we had, you know, we were permitted to rebuild our own country. So people really start to focus on rebuilding. In the meantime, as an interim government, it's called DHQ. So MacArthur, General MacArthur and other people, US government people came over and then started giving lots of um advice and initiative and regulation. And um, in the process, one thing was prohibiting any hands-on heating. That wasn't not what US medicine, and this is uh kind of a witchcraft woo type of thing. We don't agree with this. This is not a healthy practice, so you cannot do it. So it's banned. Uh, in the meantime, everybody went down underground. Around that time, people knew what of the most, if you want to get the treatment, you have to go here. So that's the way that not only the Reiki practitioner, but the and other energy healers that it's very common in Asia. Uh, it's in our culture, in the Eastern medicine, uh, you know, energy healing is an Eastern uh medicine component. So it never died down, but it went down underground. So in the meantime, uh Japanese people are not paying attention, it's banned, so people don't know if this area is you know um existing. So, like me, like a newcomer, um younger generation never heard of Reiki. And during after the this time of the Durga War, I will go back, I'm sorry. After it banned, it went underground. And one of the you know, usui uh person isui um style is very popular, very dominant, because one of the Japanese American came from Hawaii to get the treatment and then got better. Uh, and uh Dr. Hayashi, Dr. Hayashi is the one more made it into Reiki into more systematic component, right? The how to do it uh with the protocol, and then got better, and it went back to US. And then where Reiki really started to flourish. So later, probably I think maybe last 20 years, finally, Japanese people, uh countries good, very successful, and now we start to hearing Reiki. What's Reiki? Japanese energy heat. No, uh, I don't know what you're talking about. So many people started taking a class is actually from the foreigner, more like imported again. And then at the same time, the Reiki people underground started going to the surface. We have these, you know, groups, and then we do this event. So now people learn the Reiki, oh, Japanese too, but we didn't, we just forgotten, you know, for a long period of time.

SPEAKER_02:

Very good. Since you have been in the health uh skincare business since 2008 having a salon, what are misconceptions are you finding with clients that come in and they kind of find out you do energy work?

SPEAKER_00:

Ah, okay. Misconception, yeah. Oh, I don't know the mis I can say misconception or not. Uh many newer clients that they want to experience the energy heating, but they don't know what to address that as an issue or what is it. They are kind of scared, and around the time they you know they check the maybe want to receive the facial with the energy healing because always incorporated. And at the end, they always ask me, how was my energy? Is it bad or what did you see? You know, they have coming from the fear. I said, uh nothing bad. Uh, if there was the any blockage of the flow blocking, then I just released. When you have the life force energy, any energy healing, what basically is you know that it's doing is that if there is any blockage, uh we will release the blockage and then flow of the energy nice. And what happens is when we have a nice vibrant flow of the energy in our body and outside of the field, uh uh life is getting better, relationship getting better, and monotony fashion is getting better, everything's gonna get better. So it's there is nothing bad, it's just a stagnation, and it's just getting better, so it's flowing better, and then they're like, oh, okay, oh that sounds good. I'm like, yes, I'm not judging anything, you know, but I think almost like they want to ask me, like a fortune teller, as if, like, can you tell me um what's that is going on in my life? It's it's not, it's not about that, it's just a flaw, but you're making better. That's all it is.

SPEAKER_02:

Or you have the clairs, that you can see things and know things, and not all practitioners can do that. Some don't have that at all, or don't even want to work on that, and that's perfectly fine. So, yeah, I you you see that their energy shifts to a more nervous and what do you see? Is it something bad? And I've caught myself doing that, especially when I'm around others that are intuitive, and I'm like, Oh, I hope you know they don't put your shields up. Right, right, right. So you help empower healers, you help them build credible and sustainable uh practices and businesses, you help your clients to remove those blocks and those blockages. But what has been the biggest challenge or blockage for you that you faced in your healing journey?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay. I don't know that the body that my health-wise, how I get into the energy healing wasn't because of my like an illness or anything like that. I was genuinely guided to. And when I I experienced a lot of different healing modalities, uh, because I'm a holistic aesthetician, I wanted to send my client uh to the different therapies uh because my base my philosophy was the you know balancing of body, mind, spirit. So I was experiencing that. So I think annoyingly many hearing was done uh with the other you know therapies. Uh I thought I was just experiencing it to just to um refer you know their therapies to my clients, but I got lots of lots of um clearing by my colleagues. Uh but challenges in the business was my business was um especially when I established it was a new concept. Um didn't seem like probably somebody might be doing, but I couldn't find anybody to emulate. So my biggest challenge was um I couldn't find the best formula for me uh to go into A to B. So I had a lot of um trial and error, and I did everything. I got the business coaching and then everything um done, but sometimes business coaching uh people, many of them are not familiar with this industry and the energy healers psyche. So their otherwise may not be aligned how I think to conduct my business. So that was the uh biggest challenge, but I have to trust my gut and then start doing that and then take the ownership. Okay, I just have to make it better, uh, not the failure. Uh Japanese word, it's called a kaizen. Every day you make it better, faster, manual. Like make it better. All the uh business people like a CEO. Oh, kaizen. Uh, they they they are saying now, but it just a little bit of make it you know better every day. What can I do better? You know, and it's just that you just gotta keep moving.

SPEAKER_02:

So yes, keep moving one more percent better than you were yesterday. So small achievable progress.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, that's correct. And then I found something really workable, and then I share the information, then other loneliness also thrive. So I have you know those tools. I'm not repeating what this, but but I have so um, yes, I can, you know, uh coach, you know, to them in a different way than the old uh stereotype people, yeah, you know, and I mean when you started, you you didn't have anybody to kind of look to or kind of walk the road before you, but now we have TikTok and people run there doing the uh Reiki facials and the Reiki SMR, and they're doing all kinds of things now.

SPEAKER_02:

So there's a lot more out there when you you began your journey. So, what advice would you give someone who is just starting spiritual work? They're you know, feel that they have the call, they're ready, they want to take that step. What advice would you share?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh yes, uh, many of the probably people are doubting, oh, this can become uh you know, business and support themselves. And um actually it can become a really great full time career, but if they are starting out, um my first probably most uh advice is. You can do on the side first and save money. Save money to uh start the business because many times people may just quit the job. Uh, some of the people it may work because uh they may have in the family partner or something else that can um pay for the different uh necessities of the bills, but in the real time it may not be um practical for that person, but save money and then start to really get the business coaching from the beginning. Really, don't try to just skim out all the free tools and you think you know. I know that people go through several years and then they didn't make anything out of it because they never seriously invested to the business. Business is a totally different learning that we need to do than the skill set of the energy heating or spiritual work. It's totally different thing. If you this is gonna be a business, you're gonna exchange your value with the monetary fashion business element. Studying the business element is a very foundation of the success.

SPEAKER_02:

You'll find especially when I talk to those who are ready to begin their journey, they're so excited, and the ultimate goal is to, you know, I want to do this full time, right? And it may not be accessible. And uh there was a season in my life I was raising my children, it wasn't gonna happen. I needed to work, and then there was a shift. But I could say in the beginning that I could not have done this without my husband's support, and I spent an entire year saving because I was going online, I was coming to people's homes, um, I was renting rooms, and I saved a whole year before I even rented my own brick and mortar space, and I got creative. Like it was uh the area we moved to, the commercial property is pretty high for what say yoga and reiki can kind of bring in. It in I'm in an area where I mean it's not LA where fitness and yoga is big, and it's not something that's huge, maybe Zumba, you know, dancing, things like that are here. And so I turned my Jeep into a business where it was beep beep the yoga jeep where I came to people to get around that. And so I think people just don't see that the Kaisan, you take these small steps, you start saving, you and you'll find even like you think of like people that had bands or something, the story is like, Well, I worked until like we got our first number one hit, or I you know, had to have this happen. And so holding on and then kind of slowly backing up, okay, now I'll work part-time and taking those steps. I mean, unless you have a situation where you inherited money or you saved, or this where you can kind of jump in. Um, one of my experiences was with um a woman who inherited a large sum of money and she just wanted to open a yoga studio and she wasn't trained in it. Uh, she felt yoga helped her, but she didn't have any of the certifications or qualifications. So she relied on me and two other yoga teachers to come in. But she was focusing on the wrong aspect. She was focusing on the aesthetic. Like we have to put the most expensive flooring in, we have to have the most expensive signage. She spent 10,000 just on a wall. And then when you get into it, and by the time it opens, you know, yoga ran into different seasons where, okay, well, this is a slow season. You may have one student in your class, right? Same thing with the interpreter. You'll have maybe a season where you'll have several clients or that one consistent client that comes once a week. And she went through that money in six months and had a close her business. So it's important to do these steps, don't skip them because we get so hyper-focused on I want to be a service, I want to go out there and heal, I want to do this with the world, you know. But do these steps, go online, do things from afar, get creative, meet in a park. You know, you can sit on a park bench and give somebody Reiki instead of like I have to get a three thousand dollar space, you know, with all the belts and yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00:

So, you know, being practical is really, really that you know great advice, but people don't know that, you know, like yourself, Tracy. You went through and you can really talk about it, and you're a very smart person, you know that those aspects, and uh, oh, I have to wait, but I can do this way, and then you know, um, you can um keep moving forward as an entrepreneur. But majority of the people has this idea, and then we do energy healing and many manifestations, so kind of notion that oh, if I pray or do the energy work, it's gonna just show up. But uh again, at the 3D real world, you have to do different action, and we really have to study some of the components, otherwise, it's not gonna happen. It may happen like your you know um colleague who opened a yoga studio, but like again, but the focus where they really put their investment in could be totally it's like a uh like a shiny object, it's not really giving you a return of the investment. So, yes, by getting a business coach, really you can create that plan what is you know perfect for you at this time.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, just get yourself to get people, whether it's players or you know, uh people CPAs, things like that, instead of you know jumping in, everybody's just so hyper focused on this. But you know, you have to think of things like, oh man, I need to trademark the name of my business. Should I make it at LLC? You know, payments that happens when you know your employee calls off. So there's these things that you have to navigate through beyond just being this kind of well, I just want to be a healer, I just want to be here and well, then find somebody to help manage you, right? You know, right systems and things like that. But all these extra expenses from those booking systems and getting Zoom and uh, you know, website and things like that, even maintaining websites, that's that's kind of a whole other thing in itself as well that people need to kind of step back and uh but it shouldn't prevent you from doing what you love to do and feel called to do, but just know that there are some things you have to go through. So when it is time for you to maybe get an energetic tune up or maybe how you chose your teachers for your training, what are some qualities that you look for, whether it's an energy healer or a teacher?

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. Uh for the teacher, uh, when I decide to learn the new tools, uh, now I do the energy assessment. Some of the people you may do with using a pendulum or you know, muscle testing. Um, I already know what I want to learn, and I know that that's the already I'm you know, we connected with our you know higher self and so forth, then it's clear. That's no doubt about that. Um, but the teacher, who is the best teacher for me, then I will assess. Uh for the energetic tune up. Um I learned the Reiki, but I use heavily lily um used as a base, it's called a quantum touch. Uh, it's another energy healing uh technique, but really elevates the vibrational frequency really high into the quantum heal very quickly. And even the novice people can learn that and sustain for long. So when I get the tune up, the first I will look for among the quantum touch um practitioner and colleague, and I know that they can sustain the high vibrational field for sure uh by becoming a practitioner and then above. So I will ask my colleague to, oh, can you give me an energy uh boost or something like that? And then they welcome me.

SPEAKER_02:

Beautiful.

SPEAKER_00:

So, what books do you recommend? Oh, the books, yes. Uh it's the Dr. Michael Newton, uh Journey of Souls. I think this is gonna be very interesting. Uh, you can see the perspective of you know, souls learning, why we are so different. Each one of us have the different, you know, learning. So life is totally different. We don't have to be the same. And you start to understand why uh me going through this life at this time, and then her or him, and we don't have to worry about the dust too much. If we just encounter for the help, then help, but focus on what your life is, it gives them a lot more clarity.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah, I mean what services do you offer? Do you offer classes, trainings, one-on-ones?

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, I do the yeah, energy healing and the energy um content that I teach, but uh mainly right now I'm helping is the 12-week uh business coaching program. It's called the Miami Method. The one is that you know lots of great healers already exist, like Tracy, great instructor, and then teaching a lot of I know the colleagues who want to work and then help others to heal and then you know become a best partner of themselves. Lots of people are doing that all over the world. So, how can I contribute in the best way? Um my ability is oh, I have done, I have created a six-figure level of business as an immigrant, and not everybody has done that. So, this business aspect I can teach and empower the energy healers in a different way, then everybody you know uh gets higher vibration because their business gets better because uh the their sales revenue, more abundance will flow in life, and much less stress, and the world will get better. So the you know, 12 weeks, the Miami method is the one that I'm focusing on now.

SPEAKER_02:

So, where can we find you if we want to connect? You have a website or are you online in person?

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, so business uh coaching website uh https. Uh it's called askmyumi.com, a sky um i.com. Ask myumi.com. That's the website. Uh you can find my information. There is the booking, 30 minutes priority call, um PDF downloads. So that's that's okay. Yes, you can find my information.

SPEAKER_02:

Wonderful. Well, that ends the first part of our journey. I'm gonna guide you into the second part where questions from listeners and Reiki students. So here's number one. Now, we know that Reiki can be used on everything, everything and all, right? With permission, but many people don't realize it can be used within self-care or skincare. So, number one, how can energy work help with skincare?

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, how you can uh work with the energy with the skincare. So uh if you are using a skincare product, you can put the energy into the product. Uh just put the infused outcome you want, maybe clear skin, you are imagining it and uh send the energy to it, that's good. Um, and other thing is the skincare. Um whenever you touch the face, right? Washing or something like that, um, you are touching it with the palm chakras. So that itself, you whenever you are doing it, imagine it, your skin is rejuvenating. That would be another one. There are lots of different ways that you can apply, but if you're doing as a self-care, maybe you can do that and then make the difference. Beautiful, beautiful.

SPEAKER_02:

Now, for our second question, now you have stated that you have created a six-figure sales level of business. You said you had one client who tripled her revenue after one month of coaching. Many in the healing arts have a difficult time navigating through this because you know they want to be of service, but yet they want to pay their mortgage and rent, right? Yes, that's why that was the biggest area. So finding that balance. So, how how do you help create how do you help healers help create a business using energy healing and scaling? How do you get them to that point where tripling their revenue?

SPEAKER_00:

Worked on the mindset with the relationship with the money. Uh, this is one comp one component that I work with many uh clients, go through this program. And this particular you know, client, her name is Whitney. Uh, she was already having you know herself doing the business on five years. Uh, it wasn't bad at all, but they came to the overwhelming point that she cannot just do by herself anymore. It's so overwhelming creating a website, everything. I need the guidance. And then uh it's very interesting. She prayed the day before, next day, because I knew her already. I just happened to contact her. Oh, you know, I have this program. Do you know anyone? And then she said, Mayumi, it's me. And then she signed up. So she had the base of the business. And then in this 12 weeks course, I not only really teach the practical business element, but I will also clear if it's necessary with the energy work. Many of the people has the uh resistance of receiving money. So I worked with the area with the Whitney and then just to show her value. This is your value, and it's okay. It's money, it's the exchange of the energy utilizing just can you can see as money, that's all. And her perception shifted also, self-worth. She finally accepted her worth that I see her, and then probably outside of the people also see, and then she just didn't feel bad about it or feel guilty asking for it. Um, so that's why I just uh finished that like a third uh session with the 12 weeks course. He said, Miami, uh I tripled my revenue. I was like, oh, good for you. So this can really uh happen easily to the people if they have already somewhat you know worked on as a business, it's gonna you know explode. But if they are beginning, I will just teach it's a service, but it's okay to have the exchange. It needs to be energy, it needs to be reciprocal. How do you say I cannot pronounce it this word reciprocal?

SPEAKER_02:

Ah, no, we're saying, yeah, and it's so interesting because we're as you are healers, you know, in the healing arts, you're so eager to give, give, give, but there has to be an equal trade with it. Yes, and I have not seen, I mean, with especially with Reiki and energy work, people try to haggle, like they're fine paying for the haircut, but they're fine paying for the facial, they're fine paying for this, they're fine. So they will blink an eye. Oh, a hundredth. There you go. But with energy work, they're like, Oh, why is this$88? Why is this this? Well, you know, these trainings are not cheap, you know what I mean? And some languages, when you go through them, I mean, when you looked at Madam Takata, her master program in the 70s was ten thousand dollars. Like she sold her to become a master teacher. And what's that equivalent today? And that's because that was how important it was to her. And so when you're getting something for free, you may not value it as much as like, oh my goodness, I just invested a thousand dollars on this. And so people aren't understanding, like, you took the training, you're taking the time, you're working on yourself, you're running a business, you have to pay your light bill. And you know, we try to like almost make ourselves small and like, oh, okay, I'll lower my price. But the understanding is that perhaps that's just not the client for you, and it's okay, that client will come and see your work. So stick to your price. You worked really hard. And I had someone that reached out and they were mentioning about another practitioner here in the area, and they're like, Well, she's really expensive. And and I actually knew her, she was actually on the podcast, and I said, She's well within the price of what the me the median price is for charging for a Reiki practitioner. In fact, I said, I would say she's pricing herself low because she has you're paying for this experience, you're paying for her education, you know, she's putting the time in, but yeah, you'll find it where they're just haggling. And another piece with that, you know, those in the healing arts manifesting. My thing was I manifested it, but it all seemed to come at the same time. So I needed to stop and redirect on how to maintain it because it was coming so fast, and I'm just like, oh my goodness, I don't think I have the energy to take all these clients in and the abundance of opportunities. And I had to be okay with saying no and turning people down and taking it out. Well, I'm going to have to refer you. I just don't have time in my schedule because they will call or they'll they'll text or they'll email and say, Can you see me tomorrow? I'm like, I can't. I don't have anything open for a couple of weeks. And they're like, Really? Really? But I can I have a student I trained, and here's someone I recommend. And and being okay with like, I want to fill everything up. I don't need to fill everything up. I want to try to watch my energy. And it goes back to Madame Chicago, like her pricing. When I first studied Reiki, I thought, wow, she's gatekeeping and making this for the elite. But really, as I'm kind of deep in the trenches of being in this uh business, is what a wonderful way to protect the energy, right? And her energy, and really getting that person who's really

serious and committed to this and you know it's all in like you're not trying to bargain your way into it or negotiate or say can you give me a 75% discount because some of the stories people say why I'm doing this that well we're all going through things look at the economy right that's correct yes you have to trust that the money will show it will show yes every time oh my goodness this is a training but I need to take it and uh I don't have another thirteen hundred dollars and somehow it works out somehow it happens and that will book or that client will come and and it is a way of showing up so number three here now you are helping individuals who seriously want to build their level business to the next level and so we'll go back to that you mentioned about that 12 a week business coaching program now is you want them to make this bigger impact is this a program for people who are just starting their business or say myself I've been kind of full time into this five years would this be something that would be beneficial for someone like me who's been in it for a while actually I can do both but probably if you haven't been doing a business uh you could see the result much quicker uh in the beginning if you are beginner um you don't know zero to one is the really really big energy and then investment to occur and you don't have much clarity of the business yet so um you may not think that wow that the value you got from my coaching what's this significant you you may not know but you are in a really really right track I have done the the people that who are even didn't have the website and then doing on the side uh for a long but if you are seasoned one and at least you have done uh three four years to the five you know the kind of role how the business is going through I just have to tweak just a little bit and then start taking off. Of course there is no guarantee but what my average uh client anyone that's going through these 12 weeks uh many of them uh beyond but I'm Japanese so I'm very practical I don't exaggerate uh majority of the people at least they double within uh their revenue in 12 months that's significant if you're earning you know 5000 now it can become 10 000 yeah that that's gonna be beyond you know it's gonna be a six level right six figure level uh then and that's not only one time once you do it you already know the steps and parts that I taught you just keep on doing with the consistency and it's gonna build up so I had the um client in the past um during these 12 weeks already went to the uh sixth figure because they had a good base uh to begin with they were established already I have to say that it's not me from creating a zero but I had the person oh so cute this is a Japanese uh client very shy and um everything takes time but she builds and first um she took the course and then now four years later her sales revenue is 10 times more beautiful everything like I mean on your website correct uh yes so yeah it's gonna be great so probably if you are done the business and then want to grow probably I can work where you are and then which one is to grow is the fastest and then to focus on because we tend to focus on the different parts but every time you commit in the one area and then grow then all of a sudden other area will start to rise up to that area too so that's much faster than doing equally in the older elements. Right right and as Reiki business owners make sure you're giving your business Reiki too right yes focus on them and you can give it to your business business card goals right you know whatever your finances so people forget to do that as well uh this was our last question have we been talking is there anything that you have forgotten or something you want to share the floor is yours uh yes so I have a two you know offers that people can just uh um check me in so first is most of the time the the beginner people I have uh uh free resources on my website askmy.com uh you know free resources uh it's a PDF healer's uh credibility you know confidence boost PDF so probably that downloading that PDF for the beginning of the journey people would be probably helpful it's a very like oh only this is it five steps this is it yes but if you even do it consistently every single day uh is questionable that's why people don't accomplish uh it's not the you know brain surgery uh it's a very simple five things that as a reminder I'm writing about with the PDF that's the one thing that free download they can do another thing is that uh askmy.com um there is the 30 minutes it's called a transformational session okay this is the booking call with the via zoom i answer the question that they have in the business um and then you know how they can move through their business for better that's 30 minutes is i think it's very generous i can't many 30 minutes yes that that's you can really feel me and then also I can assess and get the information where you are how I can help so that booking session will be great.
