hi, i’m marta!

i am a Reiki practitioner (or as i prefer, a cosmic energy channel), animal communicator, and intuitive hypnotist.

i’m a community centered, soul sensitive, trauma informed care provider who supports people through radical transformation using mystical and evidence-based practices.

i have been talking to animals and navigating being hyper sensitive (aka psychic) my entire life. in 2008, i experienced a life-changing Reiki session. i hobbled into the practitioner’s office and i walked out. throughout the session, i saw colors, and had a truly psychedelic and transformative experience. afterwards, i intuitively understood how to channel energy and began practicing on my pets and family.

i began my journey to becoming a professional energy channel in 2019, when i received my Usui Reiki I & II training and certification from Darlene Sochin of Indigo Healings & Mentoring in Portland, OR.

i spent 2019 and 2020 reading and learning everything i could about Reiki, deepening and expanding my meditation practice, and infusing energy work into every aspect of my life. in January of 2021, i took Shannon O’Neill Loyola’s Reiki III / “master” level course, with the goal of deepening my practice and eventually training others in Reiki.

over the past 3 years, i have been sitting with and investigating the nature of being a white Reiki practitioner who was introduced and initiated into Reiki by white practitioners. in 2023, i began to seriously dedicate my time and energy to decolonizing my Reiki practice. by that time i had all but abandoned the Reiki symbols i had been taught in Reiki II and the “master” level, and had begun to weave my own tapestry of energy healing.

in August of 2023, i was led through a trance journey by Siobhan Diores that helped me gain clarity and insight in my role as a healer and energy worker. as a result of that trance journey, connecting with my ancestors and guides, and the spirit of Reiki itself, i no longer feel comfortable claiming the title of Reiki practitioner.

so why do i still call what i do Reiki? because it is the most widely understood language for what i do that is available to me at this time. the language i was given by my guides is “cosmic energy channel[ing],” but that isn’t exactly SEO friendly, and if i want potential clients to find me, i’ve gotta make myself easy to find.

while i believe that all energy healing ultimately flows from the same Source, i also believe that cultivating and sharing cosmic (or life force) energy is, like all mystical practices, more effective when rooted in authenticity and integrity.

i channel healing energy from the cosmos, from the space between heaven and earth, and from the earth itself. i work closely with my ancestors and guides to facilitate healing sessions, as well as the spiritual figures that i have been developing relationships with over the past several years, including Mary Magdalene and Hekate.
