Somatic Energy Healing: Serena Reynell on Reiki, Reconnecting with Your Body, and Aligning with Your Purpose

In this episode, I'm joined by Serena Reynell, a somatic practitioner and energy healer, to explore how reconnecting with the body is essential for healing from burnout, stress, and misalignment. Serena shares her journey of leaving the corporate world, discovering Reiki, and stepping into intuitive, body-based healing. We talk about what somatic healing really means, how trauma and stress are stored in the body, and why practices like Reiki, yoga, and nervous system regulation are so powerful. Serena also explains what happens during an energy session, how group healing works, and offers simple tools to start grounding and reconnecting. If you've ever felt disconnected, stuck, or unsure of your purpose in life, this conversation is full of insight and gentle encouragement that will set you on the right path.   You can find Serena through her website, on Instagram @serenareynell, or in-person at her studio!   Resources: • Get started with functional lab testing & health coaching → • Let's connect on instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 — Introducing Serena Reynell, somatic practitioner 03:49 — "Misalignment burnout" and leaving the corporate world 06:12 — Somatic healing and reconnecting with the body 07:44 — Scientific research backing energetic healing 09:38 — Sensing energy and emotional blockages as a reiki practitioner 12:25 — Healing the different chakras 14:18 — The biggest misconception about reiki  15:04 — Group reiki and collective healing 18:55 — Simple somatic tools you can try right now  21:26 — Reconnection with the self through the body 25:22 — Finding your purpose by letting go 27:20 — The workplace revolution of Gen Z & Alpha 31:54 — How to identify whether you're disconnected from your purpose at work 35:25 — First steps you can take to reconnect with yourself 37:05 — Quickfire Q's: favorite rituals, snacks, learnings   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
