The Hair Code by Kristen

I have to take a minute to acknowledge today.

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of my first Reiki attunement.

Time moves differently now, because what do you mean it’s only been 3 years!?

I want to hug that girl so tight for being brave enough to start this journey, even tho she had absolutely no clue what she was getting herself into.

My intention when I began working with energy was so simple. I could already feel the weight people carried into my space, I wanted to help move it.

What I didn’t know was that in order for me to do that, I had to heal myself first.

I have spent (only) 3 years diving into the deepest parts of myself so that my energy could be a safe space to hold yours.

And I like to believe that it’s actually visible in the person I’ve become today.
I had a client tell me earlier this week “you feel so much lighter.” And to me, that’s such an incredible compliment.

We all have baggage, I’ve spent 3 years really limiting the load. Bit by bit, removing the energy that no longer belonged to me.

It has been one hell of a journey, and I would not trade one single bit of it for a different version because each stumble, scrape, and bump led me to the person I am now.

The person who gets to hold you during your difficult times, call you out when you’re lying to yourself, or remind you exactly who tf you are.

I have the best job in the world, and I’m so immensely grateful to each and every one of you who chooses to invest in me.

Imagine this…
You’re busy, stressed, and stretched thin.

You’re here because you have to be. Your hair has grown out, looks dry, and needs some attention.

But when you sit in my chair, I see something else that needs attention.

You.

A person who’s made sure their family is fed, clothed, kids school work done, work projects being completed… a person who thinks they’re checking all the boxes… but in my opinion, one who’s missing a very important box that needs checking - your own personal care.

I can feel the weight on your chest, the pressure on your shoulders, the tightness in your throat. That’s just how energy manifests when we don’t take a little time to clear it.

Which is why every service I offer includes Reiki.

Our bodies hold onto everything. Every open tab in your brain, every post it note with a task, every “remind me of that later”… it takes up space.

And what I do, with the help of Reiki, is help you release some of what you’ve been carrying.

One of my favorite parts of giving Reiki to people, especially the people described above, is what my intention is focused on after we’ve made space. I fill up all of that free space with beautiful Reiki energy to hold in those spaces. To continue to bring you steadiness, peace, and harmony as you enter back into the “real” world.

We can so easily fall back into our day-to-day that I want to do everything within my power to seal in that golden goodness.

Not because you need it, but because you deserve it.

In a place away from the city lights, the pollution of noise, the busyness of everyone’s life… there’s a calmness to be found. Something exists here that is harder to see and feel when you’re surrounded by societies agenda.

The earth emits a love that you can feel through your toes, your ears, your skin… your lungs.

A birds arrival that becomes known through the air moving beneath its wings. The morning drip of condensation finally letting go of the night. The recognizable belly laugh of someone you love hidden inside hundreds of trees…

We all consist of energy. Our bodies are electromagnetic fields, so it makes sense that when you cram hundreds of thousands of us together we start operating like each other… nothing is happening fast enough, everything feels urgent, and nothing seems to be good enough.

But what if we consciously chose to synchronize with the earth?
I’d bet the earth has never tapped its foot anxiously waiting for its roots to grow.

There’s a peace in slowing down.
I believe, through slowing down, we can really hear what our hearts want. And it’s much simpler than we are conditioned to believe.

The work I do daily brings me back to the center of what my heart truly wants… connection, compassion, and a shared love.

I didn’t need to get lost in the woods to know how lucky I am. But staying in the woods has kept me perfectly rooted in the enormous amount of gratitude I feel that I GET to do the work I do.

Maybe that’s the whole secret. You don’t lose yourself out here. You detach from everything that was never really yours.
…and I think it’s kind of chic to detach.

It’s kind of crazy how much can happen in such a short amount of time.
Within one hour of announcing the move, the universe said “hang on…”

You can read the long version on the blog (link’s in bio) but short version, we’re staying in Plymouth!

And I could not be more excited!

Well… it’s official. 🤍

The Hair Code is moving.

I’ll be welcoming you into a new space this September, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead.

I shared the full story on my new blog, and it’s one I think you’ll enjoy. You can read it through the link in my bio.

I can’t wait to welcome you into the new space.

How can Reiki work virtually?
Lately I’ve been having a lot of conversations around energy healing, and one question keeps coming up:
“How does it work if we’re not in the same space?”

Totally fair question—and one I used to ask myself. My first Reiki session was actually virtual. I was skeptical, but followed my intuition anyway.
What I experienced was real. Not a performance, simply a true healing experience.

Reiki works with the energetic body, and energy isn’t limited by physical space. Just like love, thought, or emotion, it travels. It connects. It supports.

A virtual session is designed to feel simple, grounded, and easeful. No drive. No prep. Just space to receive.

Here’s how it flows:
The morning of your session, I’ll send you a short check-in form. You’ll share how you’re feeling, what you’re moving through, or anything you’d like me to focus on.
Then, when it’s time, I create a quiet, intentional space and tune into your energy.
(Yes—Meddy Teddy joins me and holds your place, helping anchor the intention.)

From there, I channel Reiki and move through the session with the same care and presence I’d bring to an in-person experience.

Afterward, I’ll send a follow-up email with notes, insights, and gentle guidance for integration.

Because healing doesn’t require a shared room—it just requires a shared intention.

I didn’t begin this journey looking for healing.
I was simply looking for a way to support the people in my chair a little more deeply.

Reiki found me through that intention—and ended up showing me what I needed, too.

It’s helped me tune into my body in ways I never knew I could. I can feel when energy isn’t mine, when emotion needs to move, when something deeper is asking to be seen. And instead of holding onto it for days, weeks, or years… I’ve learned how to release it, embrace it, or finally let light in to heal it. ✨

Reiki has been the quiet support beneath so much of my growth.
And now, it’s time to share it with you. 🤍

Whether you’re sitting across from me in person, or sharing intentional space from miles away—I’m now offering Reiki sessions both in-person and remotely.

This isn’t about fixing.
It’s about bringing light to the places within you that are ready to soften, shift, and finally be released.
I’d be honored to hold space for you.

It’s hard to believe, but today marks 5 years of this beautiful journey.💫
This milestone got me thinking about where I started-and more importantly, who l used to be. So, I decided to have a little chat with the 16-year-old me who was just trying to figure it all out. I’m sharing that conversation with you below, in case it resonates. Here’s to trusting ourselves and the path we’ve walked.🥂

And a gigantic thank you to everyone who has been on this journey with me, no matter how long. ♥️
She settles into the salon chair with that familiar mix of hesitation and quiet determination I once knew so well. I catch a glimpse of her eyes in the mirror—those same searching eyes, full of questions and a passion yet untamed.

“I remember how lost you feel,” I say softly, running my fingers through her hair. “Back then, it seemed like every day was a struggle to find direction. You’re fighting to understand a mind that works differently, and that inner voice—the one you’re scared to trust—is something you’ll learn to lean on. It isn’t a weakness; it’s part of what makes you uniquely strong.”

As I continue working, I point out something subtle—a sleek car parked outside, the one you once only dreamed about. “That car? It’s a quiet reminder that even the wildest dreams can come true, often in ways you least expect.”

I meet her gaze again in the mirror. “You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Every stumble and every quiet moment of doubt is building the path to the life you’re meant to live.”

In that reflective pause, I see her begin to understand: that the intuition she once feared, and the dreams she thought were too big, are quietly leading her toward a future worth every challenge.
