Conversations with Jenny Becker

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenny Becker.

Hi Jenny, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
My journey with Reiki began when I was in my 20s. I was searching, searching, searching; I was always looking for answers to the “why do feel SO much ALL the time??” and I needed some direction. I found a psychotherapist who was (and still is) a Reiki Practitioner. Her name is Peggy Beach and for her, I will forever be grateful. During my time with her, 20 years ago and many times since then, I was able to talk through and pinpoint some of the generational issues that were holding me back from being my authentic self. These old wounds had manifested into anxiety, and with her help and with the grace that is Reiki, it gave me permission to release all the “stuff” in my head, all the limiting beliefs that did not support me and give me life.

During Covid, we reconnected and I was able to receive my first and second “attunement”, which in Reiki language basically means a ‘Divine Download’. I became connected to the vibrations of the Reiki healing, which can be said to be as old as time itself. The type of Reiki I came to practice is known as Usui Ryoho Reiki and originates from Japan by Sensei Mikao Usui over 100 years ago. It is a healing practice that is gentle yet powerful, calming yet active. It does wonders for anxiety and creates a sense of calm in your body. I like to say that it makes space in your body, mind, and spirit so you can feel ready to “do the work” that is life.

Now I strive to share this peaceful practice with as many folks as I can. I have a space in Bellevue where I see clients, or I can go to their homes. I meet people where they are, in all manners.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Creating a small business was not something I ever saw myself doing. There are so many steps to take, angles to consider, and ways of going about getting started. While social media is a great tool for getting your name out there, I am not one who likes to spend a lot of time on a screen.

I would say that has been my biggest struggle. I sort of wish there was a town hall I could go to where I could stand up, introduce myself and my practice, and then let the community do the rest haha. The old-fashioned way!

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a Reiki Practitioner. A Healer. An intuitive. A seekers of light and all the ways we can truly FEEL connected to one another. Reiki is such a beautiful way to connect with people and help them not only relieve stress and anxiety but to remind us that we really are in this together.

Every time there is an emotional release in one of my Reiki sessions is one of my proudest moments. People have become accustomed to hiding their emotions and pushing down what is wanting to be released. But I say let it come!

Let it move through you! When we hold onto any emotion, especially the icky ones, they get stuck in our bodies and they can manifest into physical aches and pains. Or even disease. This is something I want to help people avoid!

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Reiki, and other natural healing arts, definitely seem to be “trending” at the moment. The positives are that it can only be a good thing to share this safe and effective healing modality with as many people as possible. The more people that work on themselves and share in lighting up the world, the better!

The negative, I would say, would be that with any trend, there are authentic healers and there are non-authentic healers. You have to use your best judgment when making contacts, just like you do in every aspect of life I suppose.
