Hi Citizens, this is your host Anya Hildreth and you are listening to the Citizens of Life Podcast and today we are talking with wellness practitioner Aqiylah Collins about what is energy or reiki healing and how our bodies are magnets for the goodness we are trying to receive. Reiki is just one tool that I use to listen to my body, but it’s one of my favorites, bc it helps me get back into balance and feel balanced for long periods of time. Let’s face it, with the challenges we Mom’s have it’s not hard to get knocked off track. Having the right tools to quickly get you back on track is not only helpful, but sustainable towards living a balanced life. Aqiylah calls it “dust busting the energy pathways”-a way to clear any blocks, open the energy meridians and therefore opening up the energy in you at a greater level. We also talk about the difference between energy healing and chakra balancing, they are very similar as they both work with energy but different too. So check out this interview with the mesmerizing Aquilyah Collins. She will explain energy is such a beautiful way and her intellect around the subject will have you curious for more.

Aqiylah Collins is a holistic practitioner, traditional naturopath, and the founder and owner of Qi To Wellness, an integrative practice offering self-care approaches to vibrant health. She is formally educated in women’s studies, coaching, energy healing, birth support, plant medicines, and womb care.

Currently, she teaches Reiki and pelvic care, is assistant professor at the Peristeam Hydrotherapy Institute, and sees clients in the Qi To Wellness clinic. As a former caregiver of 3 elders, she is always available to help families ease the transition of loved ones.

A mother, grandmother, and NYC native, Aqiylah loves food, culture, b&w movies, and people. She is rejuvenated by sunshine and laughter. She lives in Portland, OR with her husband and lifelong partner, Omar.
