Artist Recovery Podcast S2 Ep. 26: Deanna Scaldaferri on Reiki, Sensitivity & Healing the Soul

What happens when a sensitive soul stops hiding their gifts and starts using them to heal? This conversation goes very deep as Rich Wright sits down with Deanna Scaldaferri, a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist, Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master, and Intuitive Life Coach, and walks through her story from a childhood in suburban New York all the way to the sacred space of energy healing.Deanna is the founder of Healing Hands by Deanna, offering massage, Reiki, and transformational coaching that support the mind, body, and spirit as one connected system. As a survivor and advocate, she also facilitates narcissistic abuse recovery support groups and speaks publicly on healing, integrity, and reclaiming your power.This episode is for the creatives, the empaths, and the highly sensitive people who were told their feelings were too big, their tears too frequent, and their intuition too strange. Rich and Deanna share an uncanny number of parallel experiences, from being labeled "too sensitive" as kids to discovering that the gifts they once hid were always meant to be their superpowers.This conversation revolves around:~How childhood sensitivity gets mislabeled as shyness, and why so many of us learn to dim our light early~The connection between people pleasing, perfectionism, codependency, and narcissistic relationship patterns~Why the body keeps the score, and how repressed emotion becomes physical pain~What Reiki actually is, explained in the simplest, most beautiful way you will ever hear~How energy gets stuck in the body and what energy healing does to restore natural flow~The truth about Western and holistic medicine working in synergy rather than opposition~Why healing is a process, not a quick fix or a Band-AidHow to recognize narcissistic abuse, the love bombing phase, and the slow erosion of your spirit~The role of trust, faith, and divine timing when you follow a true soul calling~Why creatives are doing the Creator's work, and how to reconnect to the gift you were born to shareDeanna also shares her own pivotal awakening, the moment in a quiet spa that redirected her entire life from corporate finance into the healing arts, and how learning to deliver intuitive messages, even through fear, became central to her purpose.Rich opens up about a profound healing session exploring betrayal, a spiritual awakening delivered through a psychic medium, and the realization that the only thing we can truly control is how we respond.Whether you are navigating anxiety, recovering from a toxic relationship, searching for your purpose, or simply curious about energy healing for the first time, this episode offers comfort, clarity, and an invitation to shine brighter.Connect with Deanna:Website: https://www.healinghandsbydeanna.comFB: https://www.facebook.com/healinghandsbydeannaInsta: https://www.instagram.com/healinghandsbydeannaYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCw4Sv8POfGX8H6KJXnh4kJw Artist Rich Wright’s WOW Essential Spirit Paintings: ⁠https://www.theartistrecovery.com/white-owl-wisdom-1Join Podmatch: https://www.joinpodmatch.com/artistre...Dyslexia Classes: https://www.skool.com/dyslexia-classes#Reiki #EnergyHealing #ReikiMaster #HighlySensitivePerson #HSP #Empath #IntuitiveHealing #IntuitiveCoaching #NarcissisticAbuseRecovery #HealingJourney #SpiritualAwakening #MindBodySpirit #MassageTherapy #HolisticHealing #EnergyWork #Chakras #AnxietyRelief #TheBodyKeepsTheScore #TraumaHealing #PeoplePleasing #Codependency #DivineTiming #SoulCalling #LifePurpose #CreativeHealing #SensitiveSoul #EmotionalHealing #HolisticWellness #ArtistRecoveryPodcast #RichWright #DeannaScaldaferri #HealingHandsByDeanna #VirtualReiki #LifeForceEnergy #richwrightunlimited #richwrightartist #richwrightunltd #beaguest #podmatchguest  @PodMatch_com ​Support the showAlways remember, Listen to your Heart and Be Kind to Your Mind! -Rich WrightFollow us here: https://www.theartistrecovery.comJoin the Community: https://www,artrecroom.comListen Weekly at: https://www.artistrecoverypodcast.comConnect:InstagramFacebookXTikTokLinkedin
