Reiki has a reputation for being all calm, cozy, and bliss, but what happens when a session brings tears, big realizations, or a total shift in how you see your life? I sit down with Jessie Rudi, PhD, a Reiki master teacher, mentor, and founder of Clearly Connected Healing, to talk about the real lived experience of Reiki and energy healing, especially for sensitive people who have spent years carrying what isn’t theirs.
Jessie Rudi, PhD, Reiki Master shares how Reiki “found” her in 2023, why her first session felt like coming home to her own energy, and how that moment opened a surprising path of self-discovery. We unpack common Reiki misconceptions, including the idea that every Reiki session is rainbows and relaxation, and why emotional release can be exactly what the nervous system needs to downregulate and reset. We also talk about being an empath, energetic boundaries, and why energetic hygiene matters so you don’t finish a day of client work feeling depleted.
For anyone balancing family life, a day job, or the pressure to “do it the right way,” Jessie Rudi, offers practical, doable self-Reiki habits: quick morning scans, hands on heart, a Reiki shower, and the simple phrase “Reiki, be with me.” We also get into slowing down as a spiritual practice, how to tell when something is yours versus the collective, and what it looks like to grow a grounded Reiki business with integrity. Jessie Rudi, recommends two standout reads for Reiki practitioners and empaths and shares how she’s expanding her work to support babies, kids, and parents through big life transitions.
Jessie Rudi, PhD is a Reiki Master, teacher, mentor, energy practitioner, and founder of Clearly Connected Healing based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Her clients often describe her sessions as a form of energetic coaching, blending intuitive insights with practical recommendations for everyday life.
