Episode #207 Ren Oberhill Reiki Meets Real Life Healing

You can do years of “good” personal work and still feel like something is missing, especially when healing stays stuck in your head. That’s why this conversation lands so deeply: we sit down with Ren Oberhill, a licensed counselor and experienced energy practitioner, to explore what changes when Reiki becomes part of real-world healing and not just a separate add-on.

We talk about growing up sensitive and intuitive, learning to shut that down when it didn’t feel safe, and how that same drive to understand people led Ren into counseling, academia, and private practice. Over time, she noticed many clients could explain their patterns perfectly, yet still felt unintegrated and unembodied. Adding Reiki and spiritual attunement brought a different kind of progress: less strain in the room, more compassion, and a nervous system that can finally settle enough to transform.

We also get practical about Reiki misconceptions and Reiki safety. What do you do with the fear that “Reiki can harm you”? How do you choose a Reiki practitioner who holds a safe field? We dig into consent, touch boundaries, intakes, and why no healer should act like the authority over your life. Ren also shares her go-to stress relief tools for helpers, plus book recommendations on empaths, intuition, mindfulness, and complex trauma.
Ren is a licensed Counselor and Energy Practitioner with over 18 years of experience walking alongside individuals through healing and life transitions. She is deeply passionate about supporting both people and animals, creating intentional spaces where clients can slow down, reconnect, and listen to their inner wisdom.

Her work centers around Holistic Clarity Sessions, which blend Reiki, hypnotherapy, body-based awareness, and intuitive practices. Ren’s approach is grounded in safety, autonomy, and attunement—allowing each session to unfold at a pace that honors the client’s nervous system and spirit. Through Reiki, she supports deep relaxation, emotional clarity, and a reconnection to one’s inner knowing.

Ren has been studying and practicing Usui and Angelic Reiki for over three years and is Animal Reiki Certified through the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). She continues to deepen her practice through ongoing education and devotion to her craft.

Ren’s work was recently recognized in Reiki News Magazine, where her article, “The Ways Reiki Enhanced My Therapy Practice,” was published in the Spring 2026 issue.

At the heart of Ren’s philosophy is the belief that healing should empower—not create dependency. Her work is intentionally short-term and alignment-based, helping clients build trust in themselves so they can move forward with clarity, confidence, and self-trust. She believes that many of the struggles people face stem from a core wound around not feeling safe to be fully themselves, and her work gently supports the restoration of balance across mind, body, and spirit.

Ren is devoted to helping others reconnect with their gifts, their purpose, and their joy.

Community Invites And Upcoming Retreat

Meet Karen The Mentor Co-Guide

SPEAKER_01 0:21

This is Ready Set Reiki, a podcast about Reiki and all energy work, from the curious beginner to the seasoned master teacher, welcoming all systems, all lineages, all levels. Reiki is a journey and not a destination. And on this Ready Set Reiki journey, I refer to myself as a guide rather than host, as I too am traveling, learning, and supporting others on this Reiki journey as well. And with that said, I am your guide, Tracy Seawright, and this is Ready Set Reiki. Hello, everyone. Hello, Reiki family. Reiki blessings to you one and all. Another amazing, wonderful adventure for us. Here, I'd like to invite you before we begin to talk to you about the Reiki Business Collective. Here is a place for sharing, supporting, and serving. But don't let that business name fool you. No matter where you are on your journey, you are always welcome here. Christian Stone does an amazing job as he helps lift all of us up. So maybe you need a little bit of courage, maybe you need a little bit of confidence, maybe you need to be shown a direction where to go. This is the place it costs zero dollars to be a part of this space group group. So check it out, Reiki Business Collective. I also want to tell you about the ICRT. This is the International Center of Reiki Retreat. It is the third first annual one every year. And here's September 4th to the 7th, 2026. Check it out. It has a whole weekend in Sedona, Arizona.

I own Reiki Institute, which is based in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, but I live in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador. So I try to get back to the States about once a year. But I do all of my sessions online and I teach online. So that is pretty much me.

Meet Ren Counselor Turned Energy Healer

SPEAKER_01 3:14

Welcome, Ren, to Ready Set Reiki. Hello. Thank you for having me. Beautiful. So I told our listeners a little bit about you, but I know there's so much more. So tell us a little bit about yourself. So glad to be here.

Sensitive Childhood And Shutting Down Intuition

SPEAKER_00 4:57

Tell us about yourself, Ren. Yeah, so I was a very, very sensitive child and um spent a lot of time. So I was a very sensitive child, and I spent a lot of time outdoors with the animals and in the forest. And I'm pretty sure that I had a very high level of intuition back then. I have some some memories of like kind of hearing and seeing some things and then um asking my mom about them. And my mom grew up Catholic and then was a nun for eight years. And so through that experience, she became, I think, really focused on the religious elements of what is right and what is wrong. And what I was saying, seeing, displaying was pretty scary to her. And so I think there was a moment when I just decided to sort of like shut it down, just kind of shut down my intuition and then um, you know, be more, I guess, acceptable or palatable, and um still spent time in nature, but decided to sort of pivot a little bit and started studying my mom's counseling books. So I was I have images of myself at like 11 and 12 going through like personality assist assessments and interest inventories and and just kind of like fascinated about how people are, what they what they like, what they don't like, what their strengths and talents were. And I think that was sort of like that direct correlation of feeling like, well, it's not totally safe to be myself. So so what is it like to be human and and how can I be human in the world? And so I honor that 12-year-old part of myself and eventually went to get my master's in counseling, which I'm very grateful that I did. And I spent a number of years, I think about 11 years in academia, where I got to study what was right with people, which is really sort of my favorite thing to do is to work with what are your natural talents, your natural strengths, um, what what lights you up. We talk about that flow state when you lose track of time. What are you doing and who are you with? So I got to do that for a while, and then I took a huge leap and decided to try therapy as a private practice therapist, working for a very large organization. There were about 45 of us therapists, and um, I tried everything. I just dove right in and I was like, okay, I'm gonna see people with anxiety and people with stress, people with family issues, and and kids and adults. And I just I wanted to sort of try the whole gamut and to see what felt right and natural to me. And so over the past seven years, I felt like again, I was making progress, you know, learning process work, IFS therapy, act acceptance and commitment therapy, inner child healing, you know, like really loving the work. But then I started noticing that a lot of my clients were not feeling fully integrated, not fully embodied. There was a lot of like operating out of the head. So there were a lot of pros and cons. This is good, this is right. And so we sort of just kept processing without resolution, and so that kind of set me on like, okay, something's missing here. And I think what I discovered was that the spirit or the energy portion of healing was missing. And and I can say beautiful things about talk therapy all day. I love it, and I love my friends who are talk therapists, and also I think adding in this component of energy healing and this component of the spirit, thinking of yourself as, if you're ready to, more than human, right? I think that has really accelerated the process of healing for the clients that have been brave enough to work with me and use energy healing in their modalities. Beautiful.

Finding Reiki And Coming Home

SPEAKER_01 9:00

I mean, what a beautiful story. I mean, I could really resonate with that parent that was very Bible-based, religious-based, that you know, really kind of pushed me on a path that I kind of was resisting a little bit. So I'm glad you found your way. And look at how many company you are helping in your journey. So thank you for all the work that you do, not only for your on yourself, but for others. So I love it. So we're here about the Reiki. When did Reiki come into your life? Did you find Reiki or did it find you?

SPEAKER_00 9:31

Yeah, well, it tried to find me. I wound up getting on Etsy one day and I bought this beautiful piece of jewelry from a Reiki master. I had no idea what Reiki was at the time, but I was just so drawn to her energy and so drawn to the angel-like crystal. And so I got it, and I think that sort of opened me up to this idea that maybe on my seeking journey of seeking other modalities to include therapy, maybe I need to kind of look for spiritual teachers. And so there was a psychic fare in my town, and that was not something that I was advertising that I was going to do. I mean, I was I come from a pretty analytic background, and um I just sort of decided to try it because I got this inner feeling, this inner sensation that just show up, right? And so I walk into this room and it's like full of booths of people and vibrant energy, and I sort of wandered around a couple times, and then I came back to this one person, and she was a Reiki master and very intuitive psychopedium, Kathleen Sherman. She's great. And so I sat down with her, and that was the first time I felt Reiki, and I thought, oh, I'm home. Like it was just that it was just that returning, return to myself, that sensation of like I'm in here, you know, and and I've pushed you aside for a while, but now I'm ready. I'm ready to welcome you home. I'm welcome to take a new journey. And so I had a few more Reiki sessions with her and a couple of other Reiki practitioners because I really wanted to try a couple of different things before committing to anything. Sure. But then she had William Rams The Healing Touch and taught Asui one through Master. So she took me on as an apprentice, and that process was about two years and really helped me grow and learn and try things.

Reiki Myths Safety And Integration

SPEAKER_01 11:23

Beautiful, beautiful. So you work with the Azui Energy, Angelic Reiki, Animal Reiki from the ICRT. As you've explored these different modalities, as you've been out and you are connecting with the energy, what are you hearing? What are some misconceptions that you hear about Reiki?

SPEAKER_00 11:42

Well, the first one is that it doesn't work. And that's okay. Like if you're somebody who thinks that it's just all in my head that I'm feeling relaxed, then that's that's fine. You know, like I'm I'm not here to convince you that Reiki is something that you need to try. Another one is that it can do harm. A lot of people are afraid that something bad will happen or something bad will happen to them in sessions. So I use my natural sort of counseling skills, I guess, to just talk through their fears with them. And then again, it's totally your decision. If that doesn't feel right to you, then maybe it's not the time, or maybe it's not right for you at all. But the people that resonate with the energy, I can talk to them about how I feel when I'm giving and receiving Reiki. And that connects to something in them, I'm pretty sure. Beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 12:35

So as you've gone along, practice and cultivated a relationship with energy. What has surprised you about Reiki?

SPEAKER_00 12:44

I think I was surprised that it was a whole journey.

unknown 12:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:50

I really thought that it was just gonna be, you know, like a separate modality that I used sometimes to help people who are working through trauma or who were extra stressed or extra anxious or who just, you know, couldn't sleep, things like that. But it actually shifted the whole healing environment. It shifted me and it shifted them. And so it it took a completely, it was like walking into a different story.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Makes sense, makes sense. I know for me, and I'm sure Karen uh agrees too, it was life changing, right?

SPEAKER_03 13:25

I mean, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 13:27

Yeah, I mean, you could probably look back like five, 10 years ago, and it's like, wait, I it's a totally different world.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

So yeah, it's a totally different world, and my body feels different, my energy feels different, right? Like it's just everything has transformed and gradually, not not at a scary pace, right? The one that was great for me.

SPEAKER_01 13:48

Right, right. I love it. That's why we call it a journey, right? A destination. So instead of that, yeah, you're always continuing to grow and evolve. So you had mentioned about a teacher that you had studied with, you were blessed to have this kind of um guidance uh with for a number of years. So, what are some problems that you look for in a Reiki practitioner or energy healer?

SPEAKER_00 14:11

Yeah, that's a great question. I look for somebody that has spent some time and had a number of experiences where they can actually hold like a safe field. I think that that's important to have had some sort of training where you're practicing, where you're living Reiki out in the world. The other thing I look for is somebody that honors my personal experience. So I had a recent Reiki session that I was really excited about. And this is a practitioner who's lovely, gave me a beautiful session with sound bowls, and I was feeling very relaxed. And then at the end of it, she started talking about things that I needed to be doing, things where I was off my path of alignment. Um, it felt sort of like scolding a little bit about why I wasn't going this way and I was going that way, right? So, and maybe she was right. I know she she was helping me in the way she felt was best at the time. And also there wasn't this checking in, like, does this resonate with you? What do you think about that? Right. And I think that's very important as healers to not position ourselves as the authority over someone's life experience, right? And to check in to see where they are.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

Right. That makes sense. Um the earlier today I saw a particular post about someone kind of almost bragging that they got a Reiki uh practitioner fire from a particular spa. And the people started commenting underneath it. And the reason why is the practitioner was insisting it had to be hands-on, and that client didn't want hands-on. And it got to the point that she got up and she went to the owner of the spa and said, I don't want this. And then the spa owner said, No more Reiki in my establishment. And the comments that were flowing in, like, hey, you know, uh, Reiki Master here, we don't do things like that. You know, you can do Reiki without touch and things like that, and honoring the person and setting boundaries and having those waivers and the information that asks those questions, like, are you good with touch? And so that you're making that client feel comfortable. So that's kind of really important. Um, with that, just kind of honoring what your body and what you need as well. Because how can you get relaxed and comfortable, right?

SPEAKER_00 16:29

Wow, that's so interesting. I guess I also would say I look for someone who does some kind of an intake, right? Like that absolutely. Like, here's what I'm hoping to experience, and yeah, where I am.

Leaving A Career For Spiritual Work

SPEAKER_01 16:41

Right, right. And I've had some people when I've talked to them in the community here, and they don't do waivers. And I'm like, and I'll ask them why, like, well, people just don't do that. And I'm like, but do you really want to be the first? Do you really want to cover yourself? So you're running a business, have those waivers, get those things signed. You know, you never know. Like, oh, no one's gonna bother it. We don't do that here. And I'm like, things are changing, things are shifting, you know, you might want to think about that. So as you are now, all the learning, all the things, all the expanding that you're doing. What advice would you give someone who chooses to leave like what they're currently doing to have spiritual work as a profession?

SPEAKER_00 17:27

Yeah. Well, first I would say awesome. Congratulations, because I do kind of think this is where we're going. We're moving into mind, body, and spirit balance in all of the work that we're going to be doing, from doctors to dentists, right? It's all gonna be way more balanced. And I do think energy work is gonna make such a huge impact in the future. So anyone who's thinking about it now is really sort of on the cusp of that wave, I think, because we're all gonna eventually join up together and have our own way of doing it and work together and heal mind, bodies, and spirits in more efficient, effective ways than we ever have. So I would say try things, right? Talk to different kinds of practitioners, have different kinds of sessions, don't think about it all intellectually, just to try it. Because I think I tried to figure out the right way to become a Reiki practitioner for a really long time and that wasted a lot of time when I could have just really connected with somebody, asked them how they worked, ensured that that was a session that I wanted to try, and then try it, whether it was virtual or in person. And uh, I would also say community, right? So the Reiki Business Collective has been great. I'm so excited that I'm a part of that. And try to find practitioners who are new like you so that you don't feel alone, and some seasoned practitioners too, so you can get a little bit more of that mentor mentoring or that coaching vibe, and you can have that support to lean on so that you know, like this is normal, or maybe that's something that you should study XYZ.

Books For Empaths Intuition Trauma

SPEAKER_01 18:56

Right, right, right, right. And you know, in the um healing touch, William Rand always encourages you to get a Reiki buddy, find your Reiki buddies. Yeah. But yes, uh, the Reiki Business Collective is a great place to land as well. You know, uh people on there are like forming groups, and I mean, you're connecting. Someone was starting a business and asked if I we would do a trade for like a Google review. So there's lots of different opportunities on there that are growing and blooming out of that. And just with the Reiki Business Collective, you know, talking to people, a lot of it's just lack of confidence, nerves like, why me? I'm afraid to take that one step, but then hearing stories of others that like, no, like we were there too. You know, you're just seeing the tip of the iceberg. There's a whole lot of lack of confidence, anxiety, right? Underneath there that had and Reiki helped kind of clear that to allow us to kind of finally shine to our true authentic self. Yeah. So what books do you recommend?

SPEAKER_00 19:58

Oh, I love books. I've been reading books my whole life. Um, so I think some of my favorites, I really love um for those beginners, the empath's guide to healing with oh shoot, I wrote it down. I love Lisa Campion's book about empaths. I I work with a lot of empaths, they're just naturally drawn to me. And so I'm always telling Lisa Campions, telling them to look at Lisa Campion's book because she really explains energy healing in a in an easy way. For people who are thinking about starting a business, the Reiki Business book really helps me a lot. Pam Alan LeBlanc, that one helped me really get it all down. So, what are the practical points? And then how do I incorporate my heart wisdom, my own knowledge, my own life experience? Right? It really blended all those things so well for me. So I love that book. I also love The Psychic Navigator by John Hotland for people that are starting to kind of think, oh, maybe I'm intuitive, maybe I have some clear seeing or some clear feeling. And there's some really lovely practical exercises there. And then because I'm a therapist, I love mindfulness books. And some of my favorites are TikNat Han, who's a Buddhist monk who has since passed, but just has simple, beautiful ways of connecting with the world, connecting with your breath, easy mantras that help you calm your nervous system. And then for people that are going through trauma or recognizing that maybe their trauma was a little more complex than they originally thought, Pete Walker's Complex PTSD from surviving to thriving is excellent. And I think I recommended that book about a hundred times.

SPEAKER_01 21:43

Beautiful, beautiful. Thank you for sharing the library of Ren. Yeah, beautiful. I just love hearing how people just a beautiful collection of books in your journey that make, you know, kind of create who you are, you know. So I love hearing from all different uh kind. Of genres with that. So thank you for sharing. So, what other modalities do you offer or services, classes, events, trainings?

SPEAKER_00 22:09

Yeah, so I was in a season where I was doing um a lot of events on my own. And that felt really good for a while, but I think I'm more in a season now where I'm excited to connect with other practitioners and to put our energies together, to do events together. So I'm I'm open to that. And as far as what I what I offer right now as part of my business, I'm really just focusing on a couple things. So I offer live virtual animal Reiki sessions, which I love. And because of my counseling background, I'm happy to kind of talk through things with animal caregivers and give them Reiki if they're open, no problem if not. And then I teach the SUE one and two. I teach one the healing cut. And I do it in a little bit longer process. So it's like a four to eight week container where I get to know my students and I get to know their talents and then help them develop their intuition, their self-trust. Um, so that's really fun. And then my grand experiment, which is my integrative therapy or clarity sessions. So that's where I'm blending the therapeutic techniques that I learned with Reiki and hypnotherapy and sound. And so we do what I call a spiritual intake, and then we work through that process of what is the one issue or the one core pattern that I'm looking to shift right now. And then we we build our intentions together, right? Intention setting for empowerment, for returning to yourself, so that you're not gonna need me in the future. You're going to feel confident to live your life as the person that you're meant to be. So typically four to eight sessions, loving that. And then I think that's oh, empowerment mentoring. I love empowerment mentoring for other therapists, helpers, and handlers who feel burned out or who would like to incorporate spiritual work into their practices.

SPEAKER_01 24:10

Beautiful. So where can we find you if we want to get in touch with you to book a session or take a training or take one of the many uh offerings that you have?

SPEAKER_00 24:20

The best place is my website. So it's the number six, rayhealingalltogether.com. And I offer free consultation phone sessions. So I love that because then we can sit down and talk together about think about how we might work together. It takes the guesswork out of people who aren't sure maybe what offering they're looking for. And um yeah, I'm also on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook as at Six Ray Healing. Beautiful. Do you offer in-person sessions? I do offer in-person sessions in Kalamazoo and virtual sessions from anywhere over Zoom. Beautiful, beautiful.

SPEAKER_01 24:55

Well, that ends the first part of our journey. I'm gonna guide you over to Karen who has questions for you from listeners and Reiki students. Karen, it's your turn.

Reiki Changes Therapy Sessions

SPEAKER_02 25:03

Yay! So you've sort of touched a little bit on what you're doing to address this first question, but people want to know how is working with energy changed how you work with your counseling clients?

SPEAKER_00 25:16

Yeah, I think I was shocked at how much it changed because I I really did think it was going to be sort of this separate container. We're gonna have a little Reiki and then we're gonna go back to the therapy session the way we always have. And that wasn't the case at all. The the case instead was that I was less stressed, I was less burdened, I wasn't constantly seeking in my mind for the best route, the best modality, the best thing to say in sessions. It all just sort of flowed through me. And the clients themselves, I think, were way more willing to look at themselves honestly and clearly and without shame, which was hugely transformational because I think a lot of clients do get a little bit defensive because it's scary to look at some of those things. It's it's scary to look at your habits, it's scary to look at your relationship patterns, and to feel like you're doing something wrong or you did something wrong or you're broken in some way. And so that was like all totally gone. There was just this open vulnerability on my part and theirs that didn't feel forced. Everything was just very like smooth in the session. Um, sometimes I would just leave it running in the background and just have a therapy session, but it was completely different. It felt like we were actually making progress and moving in a direction. And if there was something coming up that needed addressing, I felt I had the words easily to say those things, to address them with kindness, with compassion. And I felt they were also receptive to having the conversation. In fact, a couple of times I had to talk to clients about how we weren't making progress. And I had some Reiki running in the background because that was something I asked about, and they consented to doing that. And they were like, you're right, we're not making progress. And I think I'm just here because I feel like I should be here because good people go to therapy. And so we were able to just have this lovely conversation about that, and just about how maybe it's time to go out into the world and practice your skills, and maybe that's okay.

Stress Reset Menu Nature Sound Self-Reiki

SPEAKER_02 27:26

Wow, yeah. I think when when you have Reiki, it it just helps guide everything, no matter what you're doing, like the lawyer that Pam Ellen LeBlanc talked about in her book that trained in Reiki and it because she was a family law practitioner, and so she wasn't doing Reiki and then law, like just like you weren't doing therapy and then Reiki, but it just it helped with everything. Yeah, that's so this is an interesting question. So it says, as you hold space for others who are stressed, what is your go-to technique to help you reduce your own stress?

SPEAKER_00 28:01

Well, my very long answer is that there is not just one, because I've been doing this for so long that I've developed sort of like this long menu of beautiful items that you can choose from. And now I get to choose from them. So if I have more time, I always am drawn to animals or the forest. That's just kind of always been my way to relax and to connect with nature and to feel no pressure to release any energy that I needed to from the session. I love music, I love sound. So maybe I'll bang my gong or my singing bowls or dance poorly around my office. Um and sing poorly too. Um and what else? Palo Santo, I love doing. I'll do some, you know, quantum healing techniques using Reiki, self-reiki is so important for me. I do it at least once a day, but lots of times I'll do it three times. And I'll just do like little mini sessions for myself just to kind of clear myself and clear the room and and ground myself again, because I think it's easy to kind of move out of your body into your mind and walk around in your head. I think a lot of humans do that. We're encouraged to do that, to live in our minds.

SPEAKER_02 29:13

I love that expression, walk around in your head.

unknown 29:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:16

Just totally, I'm just ahead, like you could cut my body off, right? Um, and then I love tarot in our oracle card readings. So sometimes I'll just play with my cards. Great.

Why Self-Trust Is The Goal

SPEAKER_02 29:28

Okay. And you state your intention is for short-term and alignment-based care. Why is it so important for your clients to build trust in themselves?

SPEAKER_00 29:42

I think everyone deserves the right to know who they are and what they need, truly need, without somebody else trying to impose their ideas or their projections on them, right? And so one of the things that I've noticed in our society is that a lot of systems and a lot of authorities like to tell us what we should be doing and should not be doing. And some of those rules are for our own benefit. And sometimes it's just because we think we know better. And I never want to feel that way. I've been the kind of person that had a very authoritative father and um grew up with that sort of like restriction of you're doing it wrong, or you need to be like this, and this is the career you should have, and this is who you should be, and this is what you should look like. And I think society echoes that too. I don't think it was, you know, just my father. And so it's so important to me that I am collaborating with my clients in that instead of them seeking information outside of themselves, trying to get validation or approval somewhere else, that they know how to tune in and listen. And when they know how to tune in and listen, then the possibilities are endless. And they will find what works for them, they will find what they love, they will enjoy their lives more, and they won't need me anymore, which feels good to say because I want to have relationships where we're both equals.

SPEAKER_02 31:15

Yeah, empowering them. That's that's beautiful. That's that's really important.

SPEAKER_01 31:21

Okay, that's all I have as you were talking. Uh, is there anything that you for have forgotten or something what you want to share? The floor is yours.

SPEAKER_00 31:34

I just think if you wonder, if you have some intuitive skills, if you feel like maybe you're feeling a little bit burnt out, if you feel like there's something else out there and you're curious to explore it, just give Reiki a try, right? Look up the practitioner, have a conversation, what's your training like, what are your sessions like, and just see. See if it lights you up because it's really changed my life.

SPEAKER_01 32:03
