Let’s be clear — it’s ethical and legal to bring Reiki into the therapy room. 🖤

The key is doing it competently:
✨ staying within your scope,
✨ aligning with your client’s values,
✨ connecting it to clinical treatment goals,
✨ filtering it through a theoretical lens, and
✨ documenting it transparently in your informed consent.

That’s not breaking the rules — that’s practicing with integrity.

I actually taught an entire training on this inside my Empowered Marketing Series, where I break down how to talk about your integrative work with confidence, ethics, and clarity.

It’s now available inside my Black Sheep Training Vault —
25 trainings for just $25. 🐑

When your inner knowing gets confirmed and expanded—THAT’S the sweet spot. 💡✨

This powerful feedback came from one of the therapists who went through the Theory Mapping Intensive, a process that’s part of the Innovative Practitioner Accelerator (IPA) program. 🙌

They came in looking for clarity and left with:
✅ Confidence in their existing approach
✅ New theories that better matched their unique framework
✅ Language to speak about their work with ease, professionalism, and alignment

Because this is what happens when you finally have the tools to explain your practice—not just to your clients, but to the field.

📣 I’m planning to offer this Theory Intensive again this summer as a standalone experience…
Who’s interested?! Drop a 🙋‍♀️ or “ME!” in the comments if this is calling to you.

And if you’re ready to dive into the full IPA program now—this is just one of the many pieces we’ll walk through together.

**“One day…” or “Day one”? 💭
You choose.

Let’s be honest—how many times have you said:
“One day I’ll finally build that practice that feels aligned.”
“One day I’ll get clear on how to ethically integrate my gifts.”
“One day I’ll stop hiding the spiritual, intuitive, and energetic parts of my work.”
“One day I’ll feel confident and protected in how I practice.”

But that “one day” keeps getting pushed further and further away…
Because life is busy.
Because fear is loud.
Because you think you have to figure it all out before you start.

But what if all it takes is choosing today as Day One?

✨ Day One of finally saying YES to the version of you that’s been waiting to lead.
✨ Day One of walking toward professional freedom, clarity, and alignment.
✨ Day One of not waiting for permission, not waiting to be “ready,” and not hiding your brilliance any longer.

You don’t have to know every step. That’s what I’m here for.
Inside the Innovative Practitioner Accelerator (IPA) program, I guide therapists—just like you—through the exact process of:
🧠 Grounding your unique practice in solid theory
📄 Building clinical language and informed consent that protects your work
⚖️ Navigating ethical and legal integration of spiritual and holistic modalities
🧘‍♀️ And helping you feel at home in the practice you’ve always wanted to create

📣 So… is today one day… or is today DAY ONE?

Therapists — let’s talk about the myth no one challenges:
Perfectionism = professionalism.

It doesn’t. It never did.

Perfectionism isn’t evidence of competence — it’s evidence of conditioning.
It’s the invisible system that keeps therapists compliant, silent, and terrified to take up space. It tells you to over-document, over-prepare, and hide your intuition so you’ll “look credible.”

But here’s the truth:
Perfectionism isn’t ethical. It’s performative.

Real professionalism is rooted in competence, clarity, and clinical integrity.
When you understand your theory, your scope, and your why — you don’t need to perform confidence. You become grounded in it.

That’s exactly what I teach inside my Innovative Practitioner Accelerator® — how to build your Integrative Clinical Practice Framework so your practice reflects who you are, not who the system trained you to be.

Them: “That’s not ethical.”
Me: Tell me where you read that—
because my stack of receipts says otherwise.

I’ve done the research. I’ve read the laws.
I know what’s in scope, what’s out, and what’s possible with the right framework.
But still—people come for my character like I haven’t built my career on integrity.

Yeah, it’s annoying.
Yeah, it hurts sometimes.
But shaming people doesn’t educate them.

So I breathe.
I tap into my higher self.
Because she knows my heart, my intention, and my vision.
And she’s not here to prove herself to people who never saw it to begin with.

✨ It’s not our job to defend our magic.
It’s our job to protect it, embody it, and lead by example

I used to lower my voice anytime I mentioned intuition.
Skip over the crystal work.
Avoid saying the words “oracle cards” in clinical spaces.

I was a licensed therapist…
But also an intuitive healer.
And those two identities felt impossible to blend.

The fear was real:
🌀 “What if I get reported?”
📝 “Am I even allowed to do this?”
👀 “Will I lose credibility—or my license?”

So I shrunk. Diluted my magic.
Tried to look “textbook” enough to fly under the radar.

But here’s the truth:
⚠️ It’s not your modality that’s risky.
💡 It’s the lack of alignment with clinical theory and documentation.

Once I got clear on scope of practice, ethics, and language…
Everything changed.

✨ I showed up as a clinician using my intuitiion.
📄 I built documentation that actually protected me.
🌿 I stopped hiding—and started leading.

And that’s exactly why I created the Innovative Practitioner Accelerator™.

Not just a course.
A full-on identity reclamation for therapists who are done choosing between license and soul-alignment.

You can be compliant and revolutionary.
Ethical and embodied.

When people trigger me and think they’re dealing with a professional…
but I’m petty, empowered, and educated. 😏

I’ve spent years studying laws, ethics, and theory — not just to stay compliant, but to know exactly how far I can go while staying protected. So when people come at me sideways with their opinions, I don’t argue. I educate… with flair. 🖤

Because petty doesn’t mean unprofessional — it means I know my worth, my receipts, and my regulations.

10/27/2025

When you decide to build a career that challenges the mental health system 🖤

You have to be willing to take criticism.
You have to be willing to be misunderstood.
And yes — sometimes, you have to be willing to let people talk crazy about you.

Because changing this field isn’t comfortable work. It means being told you’re “too much,” “too spiritual,” or “not clinical enough.” It means watching people who’ve never read a statute try to “educate” you about what’s legal. It means standing in your truth even when the system tells you to shrink.

But that’s what leadership looks like. That’s what building freedom looks like.

I didn’t come here to fit into a system that silences innovation — I came here to rewrite it.

If you’ve been following my journey, you already know — I cannot stand when people use “evidence-based” incorrectly. 🙃

I’ve literally looked up every definition of it, and nowhere does it say “must be a big randomized controlled trial” or “has to be an empirically supported treatment.” Those are related concepts, but they’re not the same thing.

“Evidence-based” means integrating the best available research, your clinical expertise, and your client’s preferences and values. Period.

So when people say “that’s not evidence-based,” they are using words they don’t even mean. It’s annoying.

And honestly? Even some CE approval boards are out here using it wrong. I’m literally in a back-and-forth with one right now over denying my Integrating Past Life Regression course because they don’t even understand their own terminology. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is exactly the kind of stuff I teach inside my free group — how to translate the vague, misused language of our field into clarity, confidence, and freedom.

🖤 Join me in my free group Thursdays at 11 AM ET if you’re ready to understand what “evidence-based” actually means — and how to practice like the Black Sheep Therapist you are.

When people try to “educate” me on regulation laws they’ve never actually read… I just glare over🖤

Because I have read them — cover to cover, line by line — and what I found wasn’t restriction, it was vagueness. The kind of vagueness that keeps therapists scared, silent, and stuck.

But here’s the truth: once you understand how to translate that language, you stop moving scared and start practicing free.

I don’t teach rebellion without responsibility — I teach confidence with compliance.

Atlanta, we’re here! 🖤🐑
Vanessa Holliman and I are at the Holistic Therapist Conference — surrounded by our people.

I’m so excited (and honestly, honored) to be speaking about what I love most — helping therapists ethically, legally, and tangibly integrate their holistic, spiritual, and energy-based practices into mental health care.

We’re showing that clinical excellence and energetic integrity can coexist — and that doing this work right is what builds real professional freedom.

If you’re waiting for permission from the system… it’s not coming.

You can keep shrinking to fit inside their box or you can finally practice with clarity, confidence, and freedom.
