Hi! I'm Jen!

I am the creator of Magical Mama, LLC, and I am thrilled to facilitate another local Reiki Master Certification, here in Tempe!

If we haven't met, here's a little about me, and my Reiki journey!

In 2005, I found myself in extreme jaw pain, seemingly overnight, unable to open my mouth more than an inch, and unable to chew food. After seeing an MD and a dentist, I was diagnosed with Temporo Mandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJD. The cartilage in my jaw had worn down, and I was experiencing bone on bone grinding in my jaw, causing inflammation and pain. I was told that this was incurable, as cartilage in this area does not grow back, and that for the rest of my life, I would need to take anti-inflammatory medications daily, receive steroid injections regularly, and wear a specially fitted mouth brace while I slept, every night. There were risks with these medications, especially with longterm use, and the mouth brace alone was an expense of $2,000, after insurance. 

This was disconcerting, to say the least, and I began to feel hopeless, as I scheduled my appointment for the mouth brace fitting, and lived on a liquid diet for the next two weeks. 

Sometime during these two weeks, I remembered that a doula colleague of mine was also a Reiki practitioner. I knew very little about Reiki, but I understood that it was useful in treating a variety of mental, physical, and emotional issues. I reached out to my colleague and asked if she thought this could possibly help. She asked her mentor, who provided her with a protocol for treating TMJD, and she let me know she'd love to see if this could provide some support. 

She recommended an initial treatment of two sessions in one week, and then a reassessment for going forward. I saw her for our first session the next day, which was an hour long, and very relaxing and restorative. She also recommended that I begin taking an anti-inflammatory homeopathic remedy, called Arnica. 

The next morning, I could open my jaw an additional two inches, and the pain was reduced by half. The next session, two days later, was, again, very relaxing and rejuvenating.  The next morning, I woke up pain-free, with minor soreness, and could open my mouth all the way. Within two days, I was eating normally. 

I had one more Reiki session, the following week, and felt completely normal at that time. I cancelled all medical treatments and continued on the arnica for about two weeks. To this day, 20 years later, I can eat anything I want, aside from steak and almonds, and I have never experienced a relapse. 

This was my introduction into the power and effectiveness of Reiki.

I went on to obtain my Reiki I certification shortly after, and then Reiki II.  I continued taking Reiki I and II from various teachers, as I loved to be immersed in different styles and practices. I  obtained my Reiki Master Certification in 2020, and my Reiki Master Teacher Certification in 2021.  I have taken Reiki I, II, II and IV from two other practitioners, since that time, including international bestselling author of Reiki Essentials, Diane Stein, as I love continued learning! And, I have now been teaching and certifying Reiki practitioners for close to 5 years, spreading the joy of Reiki! 

With gratitude,

Jen
