About Raquel Rivera

Grounded Spiritual Care

Personal Values

Compassion & Service

I believe that even small moments of kindness, comfort, and love can make a difference in people's lives. If I can help someone feel a little lighter, more at ease, or simply cared for in that moment, that is deeply fulfilling to me. Through Reiki, I hope to create a space where people feel supported, respected, and genuinely cared for.

What began as something I wanted to learn for one person I loved has gradually become something I feel called to share with others. Continuing Reiki is one way I honor my mom and the path that led me here, but it is also a way for me to offer something I deeply value: care, comfort, and a moment where someone can simply feel supported.

Today, I offer Reiki to friends, family, and anyone who may be in need of a little loving comfort.

My introduction to Reiki began with my mom when I was 19, nearly 20 years ago. At the time, Reiki was simply something she had introduced me to, and I never imagined the role it would eventually play in my life.

In 2019, my mom was diagnosed with advanced cancer. Wanting to find another way to care for and comfort her, I decided to learn Reiki myself. I went into my first class thinking I would simply learn a few hand positions and techniques that I could use with her. Instead, the experience became something much deeper. I was attuned to Reiki energy, and it opened me up to a practice I hadn't expected to connect with so personally.

After my mom passed away, I stepped away from Reiki. For a while, it felt too closely connected to that chapter of my life. But over time, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was meant to return to it.
