Exclusive interview/podcast on Chatmosa Dec 19 at 9 am PST.
In our latest Chatmosa session, we had the distinct pleasure of hearing from Aileen Hitomi Lane, a skilled Reiki master and craniosacral therapist now residing in Sedona. Aileen’s journey from an occupational therapist in Los Angeles to a holistic healer in the serene landscapes of Sedona captivated our hosts and audience alike, uncovering not just her professional metamorphosis but also the personal stories that shaped her path.
The conversation began with a nostalgic look back at Aileen’s early life. As Louis, one of the hosts, reminisced about knowing Aileen since childhood, Aileen shared, “I always knew that I wanted to be of service,” which set the tone for her career trajectory. Initially, Aileen explored various fields in healthcare before discovering the holistic nature of occupational therapy. Completing her education at Mount Saint Mary's College in Los Angeles, she found fulfillment in a career that balanced medical practice with individualized patient healing.
A pivotal moment in Aileen's journey occurred when she began working in an outpatient pediatric clinic in Idaho, where she encountered craniosacral therapy. This experience profoundly shifted her perspective on healing, leading her to integrate this modality into her practice. As she reflected on her introduction to craniosacral therapy, she noted its effectiveness in calming nervous systems, especially for children with autism. “It really helped to calm their nervous system,” Aileen shared, highlighting her commitment to addressing both the physical and emotional needs of her clients.
The discussion gracefully transitioned into Aileen's personal life, particularly her romantic journey with Robert Lane, which she described as serendipitous. Their connection flourished through social media, culminating in an unforgettable meeting in Sedona, where Robert famously proposed on their first encounter. "It was love at first sight," Aileen recalled, radiating enthusiasm and joy as she recounted their story. Their relationship not only solidified her roots in Sedona but also aligned with her vision of providing holistic healing services.
As Aileen further delved into her evolution as a healer, she emphasized her desire to specialize in craniosacral therapy and Reiki in her practice. She explained, “Reiki goes with anything,” illustrating her belief that the energy of Reiki enhances all healing modalities. Aileen's passion for integrating these practices reflects her broader commitment to wellness, emphasizing the connection between body, mind, and spirit.
A highlight of the session came when Aileen discussed her training in Reiki. Initially introduced to Reiki in Los Angeles, her experience included a challenging “healing crisis,” but ultimately led to profound realizations about trust and healing energy. “It was interesting… when you pause and listen, everything aligns,” Aileen articulated, emphasizing the importance of intuition in her journey.
Throughout the discussion, key insights emerged about the nature of holistic healing. Aileen encouraged listeners to be open to the power of energy work, regardless of their initial perceptions. “Even if people don’t ask for Reiki, a lot of sensitive individuals can feel it during a session,” she noted, reinforcing the idea that energy healing transcends formal requests.
In conclusion, Aileen's session was a rich tapestry of personal anecdotes and professional wisdom. Her journey from occupational therapy to becoming a healthcare provider focused on holistic healing offers not only inspiration but also a roadmap for those interested in pursuing a similar path. As the hosts wrapped up, they encouraged listeners to explore their own spiritual journeys and remain open to the many forms of healing available.
