Untangled Roots :: Reiki & Beyond

This feels like one of those full-circle moments where personal experience, professional background, and the work I care most about all meet in one space.

So much of my path has centered around understanding people more deeply, supporting nervous systems with compassion, and recognizing that many struggles aren’t about laziness, defiance, or “not trying hard enough.” Often, people need understanding, the right tools, and environments that actually support them.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of a conversation that helps create more inclusive and affirming spaces in our community.

Excited, thankful, and ready to present at this event hosted by Neurodiversity Network of WNY. 💚

Are you tired of coping skills that feel like they were made for someone else? You’ve tried the standard suggestions, but you’re still looking for something that actually works in the heat of the moment. If traditional tools aren't cutting it, it’s likely because you need a strategy that provides the specific sensory input your body is looking for.

Come hang out with Evlena and join us as we work together to make WNY more neurodiversity-affirming. Let’s move beyond the basics and explore tools that respect our biology and support our sensory needs.

A little truth: I haven’t always been some super spiritual person.

I’ve had messy moments, disconnected times, stressed periods, skeptical phases, and times when I was simply trying to get through life like anyone else.

Reiki met me there.

It didn’t require me to become someone else or have everything figured out. It became a tool that helped me slow down, reconnect, and come back to myself.

That’s one reason I want people to know you do not need to be “super spiritual” to learn Reiki.

You don’t need all the answers or a mystical background.

You do not need to follow any certain belief system. Reiki is not a religion and can complement many different personal faiths and belief systems.

You just need curiosity, openness, and a willingness to learn.

My June Reiki I & II training is beginner friendly, grounded, and designed for real people living real lives.

If you’ve been curious but unsure whether you’d fit in, this may be for you 💚

Some moments stay with you.

Today I experienced one of those reminders of why I do this work.

During a client appointment, layers of grief, heaviness, and held emotion began to move. I was guided to use the Ocean of Holy Love Healing Experience, and the energy came through as powerful, cleansing, and deeply supportive. It felt like breath returning where there had been heaviness for a long time.

As the work unfolded, more themes surfaced around feeling bound, silenced, unable to breathe, and carrying fear that didn’t fully make sense on the surface. Some of what arose felt older than this lifetime, which can happen when healing reaches deeper layers of the soul.

When we reflected afterward, so much of what came through resonated deeply for this sweet soul. Interestingly, many of the themes being cleared also mirrored places within me that were ready for healing, too.

This is the part of energy work that can be hard to explain unless you’ve experienced it.

Sometimes the body holds stories the mind cannot name.
Sometimes healing comes through symbols, sensations, emotion, and release.
Sometimes what’s ready to leave has been carried far longer than we realize.

Today was powerful. Today was sacred. Today reminded me that healing often moves in more than one direction.

And sometimes, the very thing we’ve struggled to understand is simply asking to be witnessed, supported, and released.

If something feels heavy, stuck, or hard to name, you don’t need to have it all figured out before beginning.

Sometimes you just need a safe space to start.

Really excited to share that I’ll be presenting this October at Beyond Awareness: Creating Neurodiversity Affirming Spaces with the Neurodiversity Network of WNY 💚

I’ll be speaking on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping) and how body-based regulation tools can support stress, overwhelm, emotional regulation, and creating a greater sense of safety in the nervous system.

This topic is especially meaningful to me because EFT is something that has helped me personally. As someone who navigates ADHD, anxiety, and shutdown states at times, having a simple tool to help me regulate and come back to center has made a real difference.

Getting to share something that has supported me in my own life, while also helping others discover supportive tools, feels really special.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, helping professional, or someone wanting more compassionate approaches, I’d love to see you there.

We’ve all heard it: "Just teach them to breathe" or "tell them to use their words," but when someone is in a state of sensory overwhelm, the logical brain has left the building. You can’t reason with a nervous system that doesn't feel safe.

Join Evlena at Beyond Awareness: Creating Neurodiversity Affirming Spaces (October 19th) to explore a different way to settle your system through Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping. EFT Tapping is an evidence-supported, sensory practice that uses bilateral stimulation to help your brain & body feel grounded and secure.

Stop trying to "think" your way through a meltdown. When the logical brain goes offline, the body needs a physical signal of safety. EFT Tapping is that signal. Use it to ground yourself in the heat of the moment, then share the tool to help others find their way back. Don't just manage the behavior, regulate the system.

You are invited!

To pause for a moment and explore something many of us feel but don’t always have language for—the subtle energetic shifts that happen as the moon moves through its cycle.

Every month, the moon moves through phases of beginning, growth, release, and renewal. Many people notice these shifts emotionally, energetically, or intuitively, even if they’re not always sure why.

Astrology offers a language for understanding those rhythms.

In this upcoming workshop, astrologer Jeci Sky Walker of Green Witch Inspirations will guide participants through the Aries New Moon on April 17, helping translate what’s happening in the sky into something meaningful and applicable in everyday life.

Together, we’ll explore the energy of this new moon and how it may be showing up both collectively and personally. Participants will also learn how to locate where this new moon falls within their own birth chart, offering insight into the area of life where this cycle may be activating growth, change, or new beginnings.

Through guided reflection and journaling, the class is designed to help participants connect what’s happening above with what may already be shifting within their own lives.

To close the evening, Evlena Lutton of Untangled Roots :: Reiki & Beyond will be offering an Ocean of Holy Love® Reiki experience to help integrate the insights of the workshop and support a deeper sense of clarity and alignment moving forward through this lunar cycle.

Come explore the rhythms of the moon and what they may be illuminating within your own life.

Re-sharing this raffle with a little update. I was able to take care of the tires (which I’m really grateful for), and I’m still working toward getting the exhaust fixed. Since opening the shop and not having fully steady income yet, it’s just been a lot to carry all at once.

This raffle is one of the ways I’m trying to handle things right now. I’m offering a 4-session Reiki package ($270 value) for anyone who feels called to support in that way. Raffle entries can be found here:
