about me
I am no more and no less than anyone else – I am just me. | Byron Katie

I am Dayana
We don’t need to become healed – whole – complete. We already are. We can remember who we already are beneath all our protective strategies, fears and stories, reconnect with our essence and learn to live from that connection – in everyday life, not only in moments of meditation.
Reiki has been accompanying me for several years, helping me connect more and more deeply with this whole and healed core within me, my true self – first on my own journey and now also in supporting others.
The perspective on healing that guides my work today has grown out of my own experience over many years.
In 2015, a difficult phase in my life brought me to a point where I no longer knew how to move forward. Looking back, that very dead end marked the beginning of a journey that fundamentally changed my life. It opened the door to a deeper understanding and acceptance of my past, my present and, above all, myself.
Along the way, I explored different forms of body-based, trauma and consciousness work and immersed myself deeply in personal development. Over time, I came to feel more and more strongly that healing is not about fixing or getting rid of something within us. Rather, it is about entering into an ever-deeper relationship with ourselves – with our bodies, our thoughts, our feelings and life itself.
A few years later, Reiki came into my life. What initially began as a supportive practice for self-healing gradually became a profound path of presence and inner development. My daily Reiki practice and the philosophy behind it opened up a new way of relating to myself and showed me that change often does not come through effort, but through a deeper awareness and acceptance of what is already here.
Today, I primarily share what has brought me the most joy on my own journey so far: Reiki as a practice of connection and trust, and as a space in which we can experience a new relationship with ourselves and the world.
I am also inspired by people such as Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, Marie Manuchehri, Sabrina Fox and Frans Stiene. Yet for my own personal development, what matters most is that I choose, every day anew, to take a genuine interest in myself. This is the greatest gift I can give to myself – and to the world.


Our innermost being is truth.
Eckhart Tolle
