My name is Reana and I'm a holistic healer whose mission is to help people find clarity and inner peace. I guide people through grief, the stresses of daily life, anxiety, or limiting beliefs that can undermine your personal strength.

​

My journey toward this sacred calling began in the North Okanagan, where I grew up, roaming the mountains and hills on horseback and foot. Even from that young age, I felt an inexplicable connection to the land. Nature inspired me. Nature healed me. And the seeds of my future calling were planted there.

​

Though I quickly took to natural healing, my journey wasn't a simple one. Like many people in my twenties, I was drawn to the collective energy of the big city and the allure of a "professional career" in the Lower Mainland. I became trapped in my own head, analyzing, coping, trying to survive the career treadmill. I was starving for nurturing, peace and sacredness. I knew I was experiencing heartbreak and a yearning for a gentler time, for the young girl's perspective that had been eroded, molded and conditioned away, to make room for what I thought I wanted.

​

I was suffocating and I had to walk away.

​

Was is easy to walk toward the unknown? Yes and no. I knew it would involve removing all the armour I had built up around my heart. I knew that process would be sometimes be painful. It would involve deep inner work. But to write a new story, I had to follow the familiar whispers in my bones. Once the decision was made, I felt confident in my resolve, I reconnected to my youthful calling. I learned the ancient, earth-centered wisdom of nature's cycles and rhythms, and how to tap into the sacred, healing knowledge of the inner heart. 

​

I became a healer, Usui/Holy Fire® III/Karuna Reiki Master teacher and practitioner, and Certified Grief Recovery Specialist. I used my life experience and my hard-earned heart wisdom to help people who are struggling, disconnected from their true selves and nature (a common problem in today's supercharged, stressful world). And several years ago, I created Tender Heart Healing, so that those seeking clarity and healing could embark on their personal journey in a safe, accessible and caring place. 

​

I wish to guide people through their own rediscovery, to regain a sense of empowerment, and a feeling of balance and peace. And I know I am fulfilling my heart and soul's calling by helping others to find their own heart wisdom.

​

I am so very grateful for those who have led me here - my former and current teachers, Angela Prider, Kelly Kiss, Virginia Smith, Sandra Indergman, Elders from the Kwantlen and Tahltan First Nations. I include teachers Gemma Benton, Dr. Sharon Blackie, Siddha Sandra, Kahontakwas Diane Longboat as well as the natural world and Spirit. I am also deeply blessed and with respect and in gratitude to work, play and live on Kwantlen, Coquitlam, Kazie, Semiahmoo First Nations and all Coast Salish Peoples' unceded traditional territories.
