With over a decade of experience working in clinical settings as a therapist with diverse populations in community mental health,  now trained as a Master healer in Reiki,  Rachel facilitates Reiki healing to horses and humans and offers Dharma wisdom to clients through her Reiki + Wisdom Energy Healing & Counselling practice.The impact of losing her mom to cancer at age 17 and coming out as queer at age 20, the marginalization of groups, losing your identity and getting grounded with Buddhist practices are just some of the topics covered in this robust conversation.As an activist, Rachel advocates for her LGBTQ community, racial equality, peace and economic justice. In addition, she is a contributor to the ground-breaking anthology “Kiss Me Goodnight”, written by women who lost their mothers when they were young.TIMESTAMP:0:00    Welcome1:18    Episode topics3:04    Meet Rachel6:46    Conventional therapy11:36  Rachel loses her mom at age 1714:37  Visits from the afterlife20:50  40 years of mourning26:10  Losing your identity30:26  Coming out queer & marginalized groups37:15  What queer means41:54  Buddhism - what will you do with your one precious life?46:39  Reiki and energy healing51:47  Healing with horses53:47  Closing54:10  EndConnect with Rachel:EmailWebsiteConnect with VonneWebsiteEmailMentions:Judy Grahn “Another Mother Tongue” book🆕 📣 Text Me Fan MailYou can now text me directly about any episode.
