About Me

I am Athena Hedges founder of Reiki & Somatics. I have been a healer all my life, but I did not step into the gift until my late 20's and more so over the last 6 years. My approach is designed with the intention to help people in a whole person-centered approach. 

Reiki is used to ground us in our spiritual awareness, it is not about religion, but a higher power that is greater than ourselves. Meditation to sit in the stillness and wait for the answers to come. To slow down and feel what we feel throughout our entire body not just what the head says we feel.

Sound healings with crystal song bowls, drums, shakers, rain sticks and more, used to break up the stagnant energy our bodies hold day after day and trauma after trauma.

I have completed many trainings and certifications including certified life coaching, certified reiki master, certified massage therapist, certified somatic emotional attachment release provider and a master’s degree in counseling psychology. I am not a licensed mental health therapist. I have completed the requirements and have several years of experience counseling individuals in therapy office settings, however I AM NOT licensed and do not provide therapy or take insurance.

I use somatic emotional attachment release and reiki healing in my coaching.  Coaching is a simple term used to say helping others through any kind of behavior, unhealthy pattern, trauma, that is causing an interruption in daily life. 

 I have extensive knowledge in 12 step recovery and have worked the 12 steps of Al anon. My desire, if you have landed here, is to help those seeking whole person healing- mind body spirit.
