Hi hi y’all! My name is Haley Meredith.
I’m a New Yorker making her way through life in Denver. A city girl at heart, I’ve found myself in trail running, climbing, and existing beyond the confines of concrete.
I am a Reiki Master Practitioner and Reiki Master Teacher in both Usui and Karuna Reiki. I am a Shamanic Reiki Master Practitioner, a certified 500+ hour yoga teacher, a certified personal trainer + mobility specialist, certified group fitness instructor, and all around anatomy nerd with over 5,000 hours combined training and study.
Once upon a time I dreamed of working in emergency medicine. Despite nearly 6 years of clinical training, my path ebbed and flowed as I did, shifting between extremes; finding the subtle magic that exists between the lines of research science and whimsical, mystical spiritual belief.
For as much as I geek out about all things medicine, I kept finding myself fighting a broken system and struggling to fit inside a world that cared more about a number than a name. My strengths developed in trauma recovery and in holding space for the more complex and often overlooked human experiences: those of the mind and spirit. I found a calling to listen to patients as they recounted stressful experiences, painful heartbreak, and deeply challenging physical ailments. I recongized that human healing spans far beyond a simple diagnosis and treatment plan…we need space, we need time, and we need community. I wanted to give patients something I always felt I was missing in exam rooms: trust.
While I will forever cherish my time working in emergency medicine, in clinics, running bloodwork and strep cultures, and studying how chemical processes create life, I find so much ease embracing an east-meets-west approach: bridging gaps between modern medicine and holistic healing practices. There is comfort in having medicinal support, prescription healthcare, and an educated, scientifically-backed treatment plan when it comes to healing. And, there is empowerment, grace, and big release in choosing to heal onself with universal energy and self love. With Reiki, we never have to choose either or…we get both.
Over the years I’ve learned that we can always stick to the chaos we know - we can stay within the familiar, perceived safety of turmoil, trauma, and tension. Or, as a very good friend once said, “you can be uncomfortable where you are or you can be uncomfortable and growing.” And even when it has been unimaginably hard, I have found that choosing yourself - really, choosing to exist within the spaces of your life - that’s the work.
That’s healing.
XOXO
