How I got to where I am
Hello, My name is Katy Anderegg, Certified Master Reiki Practitioner, Life Coach & Author of Love, Light & Healing.
Growing up, I didn’t know what Reiki was. I didn’t know about intuition, special gifts, the energy that surrounds us or the inner whisper of Love that is always trying to get our attention and guide us through life.
I grew up in a small town raised by my mom that worked hard to give me the best she could - love, support, and as many fun experiences as possible, but it wasn’t always easy. Being in a split household brought its emotional baggage and wounds.
For many years I felt like I didn’t fit in anywhere. I felt alone and was depressed, nearly taking my own life in my early twenties when my whole life felt like it was falling apart. I was recently divorced, had no friends and didn’t like the job I had.
The view I had of myself was awful. I didn’t like myself nor did I want to exist anymore. But, as I walked through that darkness, light didn’t come right away for me. I smiled through my pain. It would be twelve more years before I would come to know my inner light - my awakening, a different perspective, a small shift in my view that slowly began to grow. This small shift was my inner light turning on, my soul, that had been there all along, but I couldn’t see it because it was buried by wounds, emotions and a poor-self view.
I would get sick after visiting family. I had digestive issues and sporadic weird illnesses that would arise. But more importantly, my mental state was unhealthy. I felt overwhelmed all the time. Loud places were difficult for me. I dreaded social gatherings and ate my feelings by finding comfort in food.
Over the past four years, I have come to know my true self better than I ever have. I have relived the darkest moments of my life to finally feel relief from stress, anxiety and judgment. The more I acknowledged my hurts and pains and allowed myself to feel them fully, I began to heal from those situations.
When I discovered Reiki, I began learning and practicing on myself daily, bring about deeper healing and bringing to light deeper truths about myself, who I am - who we all are - a Soul living out human experiences in all its expressions. Our true essence is Divine Love.
Life is about remembering our Divinity - a journey through darkness to the light.
Overcoming fears and limitations to find peace and clarity is possible. Through allowing ourselves to be who we are, feel what we feel, yet not act out towards others or project our issues onto others. It’s a shift in perspectives. It’s taking responsibility for our ourselves without blame and judgment, but more importantly finding grace and gratitude along the way.
Reiki helped me transform my life. As I healed, I felt called to help others in their own healing and that is how I created Intuitive Healings, LLC. The name, Intuitive Healings came to me in a dream and is meaningful to me because our intuition, which has been shamed for thousands of years as demonic, is a very natural part of us and a special gift we can learn to use to help us through life.
As I healed, I reconnected with nature. I love being out in nature, in the sun, on the water kayaking or on our boat, doing nature photography, having bonfires and hiking with my husband, Nate, and dog, Porter. I like to be active, and I now enjoy seeing friends and family and meeting new people as I’m better able to protect my energy with healthy boundaries. In my spare time, I volunteer for Heartland Hospice. While all of these things are fun, I enjoy my quiet time alone, resting, relaxing, and meditating. Restoring my energy helps me move forward more intentionally and with clarity.
If my story speaks to you and you too are looking for healing and relief from stress, anxiety, fears, and limitations or emotional or mental health concerns, I invite you to schedule a Reiki session with me.
If you feel you need more support, I offer Life Coaching along with Reiki to help bring deeper healing over an extended period of time.
