Reiki With Claudia

✨My retrograde has looked a little different than usual. Full of laughter, love, and furry little babies. It’s amazing how different an RX can be when you give up control and fall into the chaos 🤍

✨I’ve had so many reflections and full circle moments this RX. How has yours been?

✨I recently had to let my booking site go as I focused on getting Past Futures into the world. My business had to take a seat for a little, but I’m back baby!!

✨While I still don’t have a booking site or a physical location, I will hold these hours every week for distance healing sessions. To book just email, DM, or text me 🤍

✨For those of you who have never received a distance session, I find it can go deeper than in person sessions due to the comfort of your own home.

✨I hope to work with you soon xoxo

Something I like to do since I am born on the 4th of July is give back to my community. For me, being an American means taking care of my community and helping people in need. Period poverty is something very near and dear to my heart. Menstruators across the country and world miss out on work and school do to not having access to essential products. In 2024, period products should be free in every workplace and public bathroom. We should have clear ingredients lists and clean products to use. Those of us who can use sustainable products should and those of us who can’t should have access to 100% unbleached cotton products. Each year I raise money to donate to a local women’s shelter or youth shelter. Any amount helps 🫶🏻🩸✨🤍

✨When I picture my perfectionist, she’s me in 11th grade. Straightened hair, Hollister skinny jeans, a preppy v-neck sweater, a Tiffany’s heart necklace, and silver ball stud earrings. She doesn’t have a nose ring or tattoos, she’s your typical basic bitch. Together we picked her name, Shirley Temple. It made us giggle and I find the best way to connect to the pieces of myself that I’ve disliked is to find joy together.

✨The other day Shirley was triggered because Past Futures received a one-star review on Goodreads. It was my first time experiencing judgment from a stranger on the internet and knowing that someone didn’t like my writing cut deep. This is the exact feeling that Shirley had been protecting me from by keeping my art private.

✨It sent her into a spiral. I’ve been sitting with her within our mutual unconditional love ever since I found out my novel would be published. We had prepared for this, but preparing and experiencing are different things.

✨Shirley believed she was doing an amazing job protecting me from these feelings. I’ve been teaching her that I need her attention to detail and orderliness, not for her to control every aspect of my life. She is not my enemy, but I need boundaries with her. In my delulu, I believed everyone would adore my words, but it’s not true, and it’s okay. I sat in the feelings that were coming up around the review and felt it thoroughly with Shirley.

✨What finally brought me back to clarity was walking with my family. The wind was blowing in a direction that made the planes extremely loud. I was getting so annoyed with how loud everything was, and when that processed through my reaction, I stopped. Nature was doing what it does and its existence was annoying me. Shirely popped back up and we realized that getting mad at the wind is the same as getting mad at a strange online. Humans do what they do for whatever reason, just like the wind. With that, she was able to let go.

✨Hopefully, next time I get a one-star review, Shirley will come to this conclusion sooner. That’s all I can ask of her while I continue to make the necessary changes to help relieve her of this burden to be perfect.

✨There has been a lot of movement in my life recently and it’s given me the privilege of retrospective. I’ve shifted into the next phase of my life and it makes me grateful for every version of myself that helped me get here.

✨I was driving to NY for a book event and I was receiving a lot of outside pressure to be a certain way. A lot of “you have to” and instead of getting frustrated, I sat with my recovering people pleaser. We remembered that what I need comes before anyone else, and I felt powerful in that peace of mind.

✨That moment allowed me to see the multiple versions of myself that did the work to heal themselves. When I started my healing journey, I was just trying to survive. I did the work to get through a bad job and to strengthen my relationships, but because I did that work when the Universe called my name, I was able to answer.

✨There is still a small piece of me that doesn’t believe that she’s enough. As I start seeing the success of my hard work, she’s crawling to the surface. In the past, I would meet her with annoyance, but this time, all of those other pieces of me that healed themselves, took her in their arms and loved her. They told her to wait and see if it works out before we decide we will inevitably fail.

✨I have so much compassion for the younger version of myself that took that trauma and turned it into love. I’m finally able to see how brave I was and continue to be. I see how I show up for myself over and over again even when the rest of the world tells me not to. I did all of that healing for a better future, and stepping into that healed space with the capacity to hold all the emotions I’m currently feeling, I’m grateful that I stuck with it.

✨Growth is difficult, scary, and uncomfortable, but one day you’ll be able to turn around and see how that chance you took on yourself worked out, even if it’s not how you pictured. By putting ourselves first, we give the people and situations around us the freedom to heal as well.

✨I missed National Book Day, but everyday feels like a great day to celebrate reading! Last Saturday was my launch party for Past Futures and it was the most overwhelming experience of my life in the best way possible 🤍

✨I truly believe that Past Futures needed to wait until I had my reiki and polarity training. Without it all of this excitement and emotions would have completely passed me by. I was able to stay present and listen to when my body needed breaks because of my training.

✨Sometimes joy and pride sit as deeply in me as my depression does and it’s difficult for my body to process it because it’s trying to protect me.

✨This novel holds the formative years of my life. All of my angst and emotional trauma live within these pages and to share it with the world is scary. Sharing this novel not only shows my inner child that I will always follow through with her dreams, it’s also healing my throat chakra.

✨I’m excited to see the life Past Futures takes on now that I’ve released it. I hope you all enjoy, but I also want it to bring hope and change into the world. The Nation is not such a distant future as it was ten years ago. We need to help the collective wake up to the changes we all need to make to protect our rights and our planet.

My whole heart is in this book and now it’s officially out!! My inner child is SCREAMING. I’ve been writing since I was 7 and I never thought this day would come. I dreamt of being an author and manifested this moment with a LOT of hard work to make it come true.

Check out my book at or in the link in my bio 🤍

✨I’ve been missing for a while, lost in a dedication I’ve never dreamt possible. I finished my novel for publication and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Working on this and believing in my writing brought in this energetic shift I am now exploring.

✨Working with an editor to finally publish my novel was a universal test. Do I hold my self-worth, or do you? Will the fear of being told I’m bad stop me from pursuing a passion? Can I love myself unconditionally and allow you to witness it whether you judge me or not?

✨I worked on my novel for an average of ten hours a day for an entire month. Throughout the weekends, after dinner, before work… I’ve never had this kind of focus.

✨I wouldn’t have felt comfortable with this necessary discipline if I didn’t connect with my inner perfectionist in a loving and healthy way. My healing journey taught me that you need to face the parts of you that you hate with unconditional love to move the energy (easier said than done.) I sat with my perfectionist and together we found balance.

✨I created a routine each time to keep myself in the zone. Herbal tea, light a candle, and set up my crystal army. I must’ve used at least fifteen crystals to support me throughout the process. And many, many baths. I barely recognized myself. I’m a floater and live within my feminine energy. Tapping into my many Virgo placements allowed me to find a discipline that worked for me.

✨I’ve been manifesting this energetic shift for a decade. I didn’t know it when I was 18, but manifesting my novel came with so many other gifts and changes than just publishing it. Divine timing is what rules all of our lives, and publishing my novel at a time is just that. At 18, I wasn’t able to fully receive my manifestation with an open heart while claiming my self-worth. Luckily at 28, I trust the Universe with the whens and hows of life.

✨To read more about my publishing process and the immense change that came with it, check out the link to “In Her Shadows” in my bio. My novel, Past Futures, will be available on April 18th, 2024 🤍

✨2023 was the year I let my inner child free 🤍 She dressed me, she chose the color of my hair, and she led me to find joy in the small silly moments life provides.

✨I am so grateful for the connection and trust we developed over this last year. I hope we can help others find this kind of peace and unconditional love that we found together.

✨My inner child is my best friend and the only person I try to impress these days 🤍

✨Thank you to everyone who joined my elemental workshop last night! I had so much fun I forgot to take a picture of everyone!!

✨Speaking about polarity and the elements awakened my soul. I believe it’s such an important thing to be aware of and I’m so grateful for

✨Last night we walked through Ether, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. We talked about simple ways to incorporate the elements without bodywork and how to spot which ones are out of balance.

✨Everyone’s feedback was almost too difficult to process and the energetic shift I saw in each of them just from our conversation was universal magic.

✨Hopefully 2024 is full of new workshops, meditations, and a lot of healing!! Happy New Years to everyone and remember to set small, doable resolutions that will light you up and not burden you 🤍🤍 You know me… I’m all about the little changes adding up over time 🥰

✨Last weekend we went to the woods for the first time in a long time. Since moving to Boston, the time I’ve spent outdoors has been limited.

✨As I’ve grown in my spirituality and after my amazing polarity training with .shop the woods welcome me as soon as I step foot in them.

✨It feels as if the trees and myself sign in relief together when we are reconnected. Almost like when you see an old friend again. The peace and joy that washes over me when I see the mossy rocks and the tall trees is almost indescribable.

✨I learned in my training that our Earth element and root chakra hold our fear. When it’s out of balance we are afraid of things out of our control and we lose our trust. I’ve recently started to fear dogs after being bitten and having off leash dogs chase after Sunnie.

✨On our hike last weekend there were a million dogs running around and enjoying the freedom they lack from living in the city. I noticed my anxiety spike as dogs approached us and my partner said something that changed how I viewed my fear.

✨He said that it was good to be prepared but not scared. Prepared but not scared - it became a mantra as I hiked. I asked the Earth to support me in transforming this new fear into preparation and confidence.

✨Through my boots I could feel the Earths energy pouring into my feet and up to my heart. I almost felt sick from the force that was running through me. The support and love it provided me almost made me fall over. As I reached out and touched the trees and rocks that support poured into my bones, showing me my own structure and support system within my body.

✨The wisdom what the woods hold is beyond my imagination. The welcoming and love they’ve always provided me has gone unnoticed for so long. Once I leaned on its power, my fear shifted. Each step felt heavier and like it was drawing me into the ground to hold me in my anxious state and to tell me it’s all going to be okay.

✨When was the last time you connected with the Earth element? She is always there to support you if you just ask 🤍

✨Join me for a FREE workshop to explore the universal elements and how they affect you!

✨During this workshop I will walk you through the basics of Polarity and each of the 5 elements. Through a short assessment we will determine which elements need balancing and how to do it on your own!

✨I will also be offering a short elemental balance for $15 if you are interested!! But if you just want to learn more about Polarity it will be a fun evening!

✨I have personally been changed so much from Polarity and just learning/experiencing the elements within me has changed my perspective on all aspects of life. I believe it could help everyone and anyone.

✨ A lot of us have never thought about the balance within our bodies and the work that still needs to be done even after years of therapy. Our bodies hold so much and they are just begging to find balance.

✨This workshop will be held in Beacon, NY for free and no sign up is required. Just show up eager to learn and with an open mind 🤍

🩸Some of you may know that free menstruation is something I am very passionate about. I started the Free (.) campaign in 2019 to provide people in Massachusetts with free and clean period products. My mission is to educate the public on period poverty, safe products, and to normalize bleeding!

🩸Menstruators already have an extra burden in their lives that causes pain, discomfort, and shame throughout the world. Menstruating is the most natural thing a person can do, yet it is still seen as a taboo topic.

🩸This year's Free (.) period drive is for the Women's Lunch Place in Boston, MA. They supply women with a safe space to meet, warm meals, and basic necessities.

🩸I will be collecting money through my GoFundMe to purchase period products, winter attire, and undergarments. With the help of I will be purchasing clean and healthy products in bulk. They have been amazingly generous and I've worked with them since 2019.

🩸Though my main goal is to get products into menstruators' hands, I also encourage everyone to think about period poverty and how we, as a collective, can change it. Companies should be providing these products for free, as well as libraries, train stations, and any other public place. These products should be as free and accessible as toilet paper.

🩸It's only an awkward conversation if you let it be.

🩸Please reach out with any product questions!! I have many many recommendations like and

✨I have been FLOWING lately. I am so deep in my feminine that all of these “business” things have been feeling BLAH.

✨It’s so hard for me to step into my masculine energy because the flow is so fun. My body is Water.

✨But the universe has been guiding me towards chores and structure which is how I think I’ll slowly introduce myself to the masculine.

✨November has been dense and heavy. Our collective energy is sad and slow because of all of the horrific things we’ve been watching. I think the collective is ready for a huge shift and we can allow it if we open our hearts to BIG change 🤍

✨It’s not over and Mercury is coming around that corner to f**k s**t up, but I’ve tried to see retrogrades as a time of rest and reflection rather than chaotic. It’s perfect timing for me to really fall onto a foundation of structure.

✨I have many many beautiful ideas and workshops coming together in my mind. I think you will all notice when I allow the masculine to guide my energy 😉

✨But once I find where the balance lies, you know I will float back down the stream that guides me to my highest and best 🤍

✨Wishing you all an easy retrograde and a release of anything that comes with the holiday season 🤍

✨Here are som cute pictures. Sunnie my dog protects me and she HATES energy work lol Gunther is the dragon from a past life for sure. And my favorite mug from brings so much joy and love into my mornings 🥰

✨These last seven months have completely shifted my perspective of life, health, and healing.

✨There is no better feeling than sisterhood and that’s what my polarity training has given me. All of us went on our own transformations and to witness the shifts in each of these women was such a gorgeous and delicious experience.

✨Having polarity practiced on me for seven months rearranged my brain chemistry. With so many different hands and magic pouring love and the elements into me, my nervous system is completely different.

✨I lived in survival mode for most of my life and though I did a lot of emotional and mental healing, my body still held on to the past. The journey isn’t over, but taking this class with these people accelerated my healing and growth.

✨Polarity therapy is life changing. Learning with these beautiful humans was an experience I’ve never had before. To sit within all of our magic and at .shop was truly a once in a lifetime experience.

✨This first picture brings me immense joy 🥹 I’ve gotten to know these people well and in this picture I can see each of their inner children shinning with pride. It makes my heart explode. I haven’t stopped crying since Saturday but happy and pride tears.

✨I can’t wait to share Polarity with all of you 🤍

✨I've been feeling stuck lately like my energy won't move where I want it to. I feel as if the universe has been telling me to wait for so long now, and I am frustrated.

✨I try to visualize the future, and I see myself doing laundry. I sit down to write, and my fingers won't type what I want. I feel like I am watching out a window, but I'm grounded and can't play with my friends.

✨So, I clean, cook, and organize, but I am still stalled. The universe still says, "not yet!"

✨Then, I take a moment to step out of my world and look at the whole world. The density of the collective energy cannot be ignored. It is weighing us all down, and it's hard for me to focus energy on building something for myself while countries are being destroyed.

✨I feel as if we are all one connected organism living on this planet, and what is happening worldwide affects us even if it is not directly destroying us.

✨I've been calling in my true self. I've been looking to return to my core essence, and caring for the world is a huge part of it. I've had to put boundaries around my empathy to save my heart, but now that I feel strong within my boundaries, I've been able to open up again.

✨What is happening in Palestine is not okay. What is happening in the Congo is not okay. What is still happening in Ukraine is not okay. There's very little I can do as one person, but I've always found that using my voice to speak out against injustice rattles those around me.

✨My energy is being stalled. I am not supposed to grow within my business right now. I am supposed to grow within my humanity.

✨There are resources and trusted places to donate in the link in my bio, but please educate yourself on what is currently happening. Boycotting, protesting, and having the hard conversations around us is the hands-on work. Raising the collective can change things, but we must know why we are raising it.

✨This post is not meant to make someone feel guilty or shameful. We should dive into gratitude for our safety and joy while learning where we can support the people in need. That is how we raise the collective frequency.

🕊️I have been silently educating myself over the last few weeks and finding space within me to hold the collective grief.

I wasn’t afraid to post this because I was fearful of offending or “siding” with Palestine. I believed I didn’t know enough to speak up at first.

As this terror and destruction continues I feel called to do something. Financial support, boycotting, and protesting are the backbone of systemic change, but as a light worker I feel the need to change the energy.

If you feel called to this as well, please join me on Monday the 13th to send light, love, and joy into the collective.

Tag your light and energy worker friends in the comments below to spread the word. If I have tagged you in this and you don’t feel called to join please do not feel pressured. The collective is dense and there a plenty of ways to help the cause. The first step is always education 🤍

✨The body is an earthly form. It gets stuck and may still hold the trauma that was cleared mentally and emotionally. Earth is a stubborn, dug-in, and steady element. It is organization and structure which are the things I struggle with most.

✨When the Earth element coursed through me, it brought back all of the hate, abuse, and pain within my body that I've been ignoring. It allowed me to touch my body and move her for the first time in a decade.

✨Unfortunately, I didn't wake up and change my entire routine the next day. The element woke a piece up, but Earth is dense and stubborn. My body has been stuck in a routine, and she will not change it overnight. I need to build trust and pour love into her.

✨Loving myself and trusting myself go hand in hand, but I've always found love was easier to create. The healing process is ongoing, and I've put off this piece for too long.

✨Exercising and awareness around food are triggers I no longer want. Earth is all about doing the things you don't want to do, so as my training ends, I think it's time to move all of this trauma out. In this case, I am the only one holding myself back.

✨The last virtual meditation was such an amazing way to connect. It felt magical and allowed new people to try distance reiki.

✨Reiki with Claudia turns 1 today!! Last year I finally found something I love to do and slowly started to see the life I could create. The universe shook my core earlier this year and it lovingly forced me to believe in myself.

✨Over the last year I have done more than I ever imagined for myself. I never pictured myself in this spiritual world, but I have found so much love and peace since I stepped into it.

✨I have met and healed with amazing people. I have guided meditations even though I typically have a paralyzing fear of public speaking. I’ve bet on myself over and over again with a new found confidence, and here we are 🤍

✨Over this last year I’ve felt disappointed and “behind,” but sitting here one year after I took a chance on myself, all I can see is the expansion to come. Growing my business, my confidence, and my independence has been the greatest gift of my life. I’ve found my place in the world and what a cozy place to fit into.

✨To celebrate our birthday, I am offering a FREE virtual guided meditation this Tuesday night from 8:30-9:30 🤍🤍 You can sign up through the link in my bio or DM me!
