LGBTQ+ Friendly Reiki & Yoga: Not Just a Sticker on the Door
Here's a pattern I see too often: wellness spaces that call themselves inclusive but feel… well… like crap. The rainbow flag on the website but the heteronormative language in every class. The "all are welcome" tagline but the weird energy when you show up visibly queer. The intake form with two gender options.
I built Rainbow Reiki Center because I was tired of that gap between marketing and reality.
What "LGBTQ+ Friendly" Actually Means Here
It means this space exists with you in mind. Not as an afterthought. Not as a demographic to market to… as the foundation.
It means your body is your body and nobody tells you what it should look like in a yoga pose or on a Reiki table. It means your relationship structure, your identity, your expression, your sexuality…none of it is up for debate, commentary, or curiosity unless you want to talk about it.
It means when we do energy work and something comes up related to your identity…. maybe the years of hiding, the family rejection, the body dysphoria, the micro-aggressions that stack up like bricks…I know how to hold that. Because I've been doing this work with queer and trans clients for years. And because I get it. Because I’ve done this work for myself.
Why This Matters for Healing
Trauma informed care requires understanding what the trauma actually is. And for a lot of LGBTQ+ folks, the trauma isn't one event. It's chronic and present. It's the constant low grade stress of navigating a world that wasn't built for you. It's stored in your nervous system as hypervigilance, as tension, as a baseline anxiety that never fully goes away.
That chronic stress needs a different approach. It needs a space where your nervous system can actually let its guard down… maybe for the first time in a long time. That's what I work to create every single day.
Reiki is particularly powerful for this because the whole practice is about receiving. Just lying there and allowing someone to support you. For people who've spent their lives performing, protecting, and proving themselves, that act of receiving can be revolutionary.
The Services
Everything I offer is available to everyone, but here's how different folks in the community tend to use my services:
Reiki sessions for chronic stress, identity-related grief, anxiety, and nervous system regulation. This is the most common starting point.
Private therapeutic yoga for people who want body-based healing in a one-on-one setting where they're in complete control. No public class vulnerability. No comparison. Just you and your practice.
Reiki classes for people who want to learn energy healing for themselves or to serve their own community. I've trained queer healers who now do beautiful work in their own circles.
Workshops and events…my tantric breathwork and specialty events tend to draw a diverse, open-minded crowd (swingers, strippers, sex-workers, bartenders, pornstars, trans people) They're powerful group experiences where you can be fully yourself. And yes, you can be a sexual person and have spirituality too. I promise. Everyone and I mean everyone is welcome here.
A Note on the Name
Rainbow Reiki Center isn't subtle, and I didn't want it to be. The name is a signal. When you see it, you know. This is a space where you don't have to wonder if you're welcome. You are.
Come As You Are
I mean that completely. Whatever stage of your journey you're in….out, not out, questioning, transitioning, healing, celebrating…my space is for you. No performance required. No armor necessary.
Just come as you are. We'll work with that.
