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
