After September 11th, Michelle's relationship with flying was never the same. Nearly three years ago, her anxiety had gotten so bad she watched her entire family board a plane without her and knew something had to change.

Four months into her Reiki practice, she booked a flight, got on the plane, and her husband asked her the whole way, "Are you okay?" Not because she seemed nervous, but because she was the calmest he had ever seen her.

In this bonus episode, I sit down with Michelle Montgomery-Gardes, self-described recovered corporate drone, and now a key member of my teaching team, to talk about how two minutes of Reiki a day helped her manage anxiety, quit a 30-year corporate career, and finally feel present in her own life.

This is a story for anyone who's burned out, skeptical, and wondering if something this simple could actually work.

In this episode:

  • Michelle's story of flight anxiety, corporate burnout, and finding Reiki
  • How two minutes a day created a total 180 in her nervous system response
  • The moment on the plane that proved Reiki was working
  • Why she quit her corporate job and what Reiki had to do with it
  • How presence became the biggest and most unexpected gift of her practice
