If you’re someone who thrives on your natural drive—whether you’re growing a business, managing a team, or navigating a demanding career—you’ve probably gotten used to operating on overdrive. You push through the long days, solve one problem after another, and still somehow find the energy to reach for more.
But every now and then, you feel it: the mental fog, the creeping burnout, the sense that your best ideas are just out of reach, the lack of fulfillment that you quickly dismiss with more ideas. All of those are communications that you are not in fact performing at your highest, and that neglect of the deeper layers of your being is likely the cause.
And here's the thing - with the world going the direction it's going, we have to learn to bring back the balance. We are getting so caught up in our goals and our achievements, we do have to remember that after all is said and done, what we're left with is our soul. Is it fed?
When Problem-solving Falls Short
Ambitious people tend to focus on strategies and solutions—we're great at finding fixes. But there are certain layers of our potential that cannot be accessed through more analysis.
When your nervous system is given intentional space, things just click: creative ideas come spontaneously, and dots get connected. But when we continually push and think our way through every challenge, important messages, lessons, and ideas are missed. And in this way, we begin to miss our lives.
Somatic Reiki sessions at Somatique offer the antidote. It’s a tailored experience that allows your body and mind to pause, reconnect, and deepen into life. In my experience, this is typically more effective than the average meditation practice.
A Quiet Space for Big Ideas
The ultimate luxury in this lifetime is space, and this is what I love about Reiki. In the arc of a session, you have an opportunity not just to relax for 60 minutes, but to go to a sacred space within yourself. We tap back in to the flow of life that we often felt connected to as children, or when we are feeling creative, or when we are immersed in nature (though nothing can replace these experiences).
Whether or not you have any specific insights, the space you enter allows for you to catch up on your processing. Now, if you've really let yourself fall behind on emotional processing, you will not get your resolution in one session, or even three. A consistent schedule of sessions is recommended for anyone who has "fallen behind" on processing their life. This processing can also be immensely supported by time alone in nature, therapy, and good sleep.
It’s not always about trying to make breakthroughs happen. It’s about creating the space where they can naturally unfold - even if it happens later down the road. Reiki sets the stage.

A Note About Wellness in Boulder, CO
There’s something about living in Boulder that makes this work even more special.

But even here, maybe especially here, it’s easy to get caught up in the drive to do more, achieve more, be more.
Reiki is your reminder to pause, to listen, and to allow.
