Vanessa Popillion

Reiki and acting are the same thing — I'm always channeling.

My person usually comes in with a dysregulated nervous system. Stress or grief put them there. They arrive carrying it — I can feel it before they say a word. I actually start scanning the body before they even lay on the table. They come in frayed. They leave feeling peaceful. That shift — from a nervous system that won't settle to one that finally does — is what I'm here for. I'm also drawn to working with children and adults with cancer: not to claim anything about curing, but to give the body the conditions it needs to do what it already knows how to do.

In Vanessa's words

Vanessa's journey

I'm Vanessa, and I offer Reiki in person and online. I came to this work through my own body — after a divorce and a car accident pulled me so far into my head that I didn't feel safe there anymore. One Reiki session brought me back. My nervous system finally let go, and I understood what I wanted to share with people. What I bring to the table — literally — is an open heart, no judgement, and senses that were already tuned to people long before I became a practitioner. Come with an open mind and heart. That's the only thing I ask.

I was in my mind — not feeling safe in my head. A divorce and a car accident had pulled me up there, and I couldn't find my way back into my body. I'd been carrying all of it, and my nervous system was showing that. That first Reiki session was liberating. My nervous system finally just let go. My body relaxed. I felt calm in a way I hadn't in a long time. That's why I wanted to share it — because I know what it is to arrive somewhere frayed, and I know what it feels like when the body remembers it's allowed to rest.

Reiki and acting are about channeling — it's the same thing at the table and on the stage.

How to work with Vanessa

I start reading people before the session even begins — my senses are open, and whatever needs to be seen shows up. That's always been natural for me, and it's grown stronger over time. I'm also an actor, and I think Reiki and acting are about the same thing: channeling. It's the same at the table as it is on the stage. What flows through me is unconditional love — no judgement, no criticism. Sessions are available in person and online. Before you book, I'd ask just one thing: come with an open mind and heart. That's enough.

What to expect
What this is

### My Reiki Practice My Reiki practice is a space for relaxation, connection, and healing. I believe the body, mind, and spirit have their own wisdom, and Reiki can help create the space to reconnect with that inner balance. Each session begins with a brief conversation about what you’re experiencing and what you would like support with. I then create a calm, nurturing space for you to relax, receive, and simply be. You may experience deep relaxation, grounding, warmth, emotional release, clarity, or simply a sense of peace. Every experience is unique. I don’t see myself as someone who “fixes” or heals another person. My role is to hold compassionate space and offer Reiki as a gentle, supportive practice that honors each person’s own healing journey.

What it is not

v### What Reiki Is Not Reiki is not a cure, diagnosis, or replacement for medical or mental-health care. It does not replace a doctor, therapist, medication, or other professional treatment. Clients should not expect me to diagnose conditions, predict outcomes, or “fix” something for them. Reiki Reiki is a complementary practice intended to support relaxation, well-being, and a deeper connection with oneself. There is also no specific experience a client should expect. Reiki is personal and can feel different for everyone. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space—not to promise a particular result.
