Katie Apicella is a certified Level 2 practitioner in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, the traditional Usui System of Natural Healing. She trained under Reiki Master Brian Brunius, whose lineage connects directly to founder Mikao Usui through John Harvey Gray—one of the first Reiki Masters initiated by Hawayo Takata and the longest-practicing Reiki Master in the West.

This direct energetic lineage ensures that the practices Katie offers aren’t just intuitive—they’re grounded in time-honored tradition and authentic technique.

Her Level 2 certification allows her to work with Reiki symbols and distance healing, supporting emotional and mental well-being at a deeper level. She is also a registered member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARP).

I didn’t find healing because my life felt calm or easy—I found it because I had no other choice. Like many women, I spent years chasing burnout disguised as success—accolades on the outside, overwhelm on the inside.

My body had been whispering for years; eventually, it started screaming. I didn’t know how to listen, but I knew something had to change. So I began learning, leaning in, and getting out of my way—and slowly, things started to shift.

But let’s be clear: I’m not here because I’ve reached some mythical finish line of “fully healed.” I’m still figuring it out. Healing, after all, is a practice, not perfection. Some days flow better than others. The difference now is that I’m equipped with more awareness, practical resources, and reliable tools to navigate life’s inevitable ups and downs.

I’m committed to this ongoing journey—to learning, growing, and evolving. I won’t promise you’ll become an entirely new person overnight; that’s not how authentic healing works. Instead, you’ll find clarity where confusion once lived, steadiness where chaos ruled, and a way forward that feels true, grounded, and real.

As a certified Level 2 practitioner in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki—the traditional Usui System of Natural Healing—I trained under Reiki Master Brian Brunius, whose lineage connects directly to Reiki’s founder, Mikao Usui. But this isn’t about tradition for tradition’s sake.

It’s about creating a path back to yourself—for those learning to stay grounded when the world won’t stop spinning.

My work blends energy healing, intuitive support, and practical guidance to help you reconnect with your inner compass and navigate life from your own True North.

Because when you tune into your frequency, you can tune out the noise.

And when you tune out the noise, you can hear your rhythm again. And that’s where you’ll find the magic again—in the dance that’s called life.

This work isn’t just my practice—it’s my promise.

I’m committed to making healing more accessible, more honest, and more human.

No one should be priced out of peace or wait for collapse to begin their return to self.

If you’re dreaming of building a more inclusive future for wellness—one rooted in care, not clout—I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s co-create something grounded, heart-led, and expansive. Something that actually feels like healing.
