Reiki, Ayahuasca & Kundalini Awakening | Part 2 with Katie Scanlon

Ep. 247 Part 2 of MaryAnn’s conversation with sex coach and spiritual healer Katie Scanlon goes even deeper into Reiki, Kundalini awakenings, Ayahuasca journeys, nervous system healing, and the spiritual side of reclaiming pleasure, power, and peace. 💫 “You are your own healer.” After surviving a traumatic brain injury, Katie began a transformational journey that completely changed how she viewed healing, femininity, and the body’s ability to restore itself.

Key Takeaways: • What Reiki actually is and how it supports nervous system healing • Kundalini awakening experience and divine feminine energy activation • The truth about Ayahuasca and trauma release • How plant medicine helped Katie reconnect to pleasure and inner peace • Why healing requires participation, not perfection • The importance of regulating the body before transforming the mind 🔥 “Ayahuasca showed me how beautiful this life gets to be… how much pleasure we are meant to experience.” This conversation is for the women who know there has to be MORE beyond survival mode.
