Healer's Bio
Erana Kybele (Emily) is a certified Reiki Master Teacher and Tong Ren practitioner. She specializes in Usui Reiki Ryoho, Violet Flame/Light Reiki, Kundalini Reiki, and Pleiadean Reiki. She is also a practitioner/facilitator and student of Emotional Freedom Technique (ETF/tapping), yoga (RYT-200), breath work, vocal toning, qigong, jin shin jyutsu (Japanese acupressure), quantum healing, theta healing, spiritual response therapy, emotion code, divination, meditation, and shamanism. Her other interests include ceramics, human design, numerology, astrology, and personality typing.
Her passion in holistic healing began at an early age with natural/home remedies (herbalism and Chinese medicinal soup). She returned deeper into alternative therapies after facing the challenges of a traumatic accident, which left her dealing with chronic pain, migraines, insomnia, and anxiety/PTSD. Seeking relief beyond traditional allopathic medicine, she found mental and physical comfort in modalities such as yoga, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and energy medicine.
During the pandemic, she discovered Reiki while attending a virtual sound bath. Curious to learn more about how Reiki worked, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing. Through Reiki, she found relief from insomnia, fewer headaches, and a reduction in pain, prompting her to delve deeper into this ancient spiritual practice. Reiki also was significantly beneficial in alleviating the effect she was experiencing with workplace burnout and anxiety.
What began as a personal quest for healing soon blossomed into a devotion for sharing the transformative power of Reiki with others. As she witnessed its positive impact on her own life and even on her beloved cat, she felt compelled to share its lifechanging benefits to those seeking healing and relief.
She is dedicated to supporting your well-being through the gentle practice of Reiki. It's an honor to walk alongside you on your journey to wellness, offering comfort, peace, and rejuvenation.
Her areas of specialty are with emotional release, mother wound, generational trauma, inner child work, spiritual awakening, transformation, and holistic lifestyle integration.

Client Testimonials
"Erana/Emily is the woman that truly took all my assumptions about Reiki healing and threw them out the window. I came to a psychic fair in Pasadena last year with an open mind, but a slight level of skepticism. Ultimately, my family had recently suffered a loss and I knew I had taken nearly zero time to make space for my grief about it. I figured, if nothing else, it would be nice to make space to feel the feelings. The moment I met Erana, I could see her bodily react to my own vibrations and I knew I really needed her grounded vibes haha. I did not let her know any of the life events that had happened; she was incredibly professional explaining to me how the session would flow. Still, I felt her incredibly generous spirit engaging with my hurt in a very-difficult-to-describe way. I told a few friends that it sort of felt like the feeling you have at the end of a really good talk-therapy session, like a huge load is lifted and there is some pressure releases in mind/body/spirit. I was pretty shocked that could happen without verbal communication, but pleasantly surprised. I don't think I had the words yet to cope with the sudden death, but Erana helped me move through the precipice of difficult feelings. I am so so so grateful. And feel like she has a real gift. I hope you are lucky to meet her and/or utilize her services. I look forward to going back." —Nicole C.
Hi Erana-I was planning on texting you today to thank you again for yesterday- it was amazing- even my Oracle cards were amazing I was exhausted and hungry immediately after I left. But I had errands and things to take care before I could go home to relax. I went to bed at 9:30! I wanted to go to sleep MUCH sooner but I was afraid if I went to bed too early I would wake up in the middle of night and not be able to go back to sleep. I didn’t wake up until 8:30 am, haha! I slept so deep and peacefully- it was Great! thank you so much for yesterday- it was one of the Best Reiki experiences I’ve had and I have had a few I hope to see you again soon." —Rena S.
"I’ve sat with Emily on a few different occasions and have found her energy work to be profoundly healing. During my first session, I came for help clearing some past trauma. The reiki was palpable to where I could feel very strong sensations of heat moving up and down my body as she focused on different energy centers. At one point, things got so intense that my heart rate went crazy while I started getting sweaty and clammy. This continued until I very suddenly burst into an intense bout of sobbing and crying as Emily started working on my feet area. As a cis male this isn’t something I’m prone to doing normally, so it truly felt like something was being released and healed. Needless to say, I left that session feeling lighter and renewed." —Nick D.
"Reiki with Emily is truly an amazing experience! It made my skeptical self believe in the healing and comforting effects possible even over a great distance. My migraines, knee, and back pain have vastly improved and my mood is more stable.
She takes care to listen to your concerns and what you want to focus on and is very soothing throughout the process. I can't recommend her enough!" —Sam M.
"[I] went in to see Emily, a Reiki healer who luckily for me is gentle, offers multiple different types of healing techniques/modalities and came out feeling calm of mind, relaxed of body, and a pep to my step recommendations to keep my mind chatter calm and health in check. She [is] kind, punctual, and the space [is] clean recommend 10/10 —Rina C.
Reiki
Directly translated, the word reiki means "universal life force energy." It is a Japanese form of holistic energy healing that reduces stress and promotes relaxation. Reiki is guided intuitively (going to where it is needed) and works on a physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental level. When the body activates the parasympathetic system (the rest and digest phase), it is able to switch off the sympathetic system (the fight or flight response), allowing the body to reach a higher level of relaxation and restoration. Reiki is a complementary alternative therapy and is not a substitution for medical care.
How can I benefit from reiki?
Reiki can be beneficial in many ways, from reducing the effects of burnout, lowering anxiety, reducing overthinking or negative thought pattern, minimizing physical pain to faster recovery from illness, injury, and surgery, achieving a better night's sleep, feeling more energized and motivated to cultivating a greater sense of personal well-being, increasing intuition, and deepening one's connection to their self and the universe. When we are able to turn off stress, our bodies are able to self-regulate and work more efficiently.
What happens during a reiki session?
During an in-person reiki session, the client will discuss the reason(s) why they are seeking reiki treatment and what they would like to have treated during that session. The client will then either sit or lie down (completely clothed) and the practitioner will direct reiki using their hands over different locations of the client's body to help shift their energy. After the session, there is time for the client to share and reflect on their experience. A distance reiki session works very similar to an in-person session except the client and practitioner are not in the same location. Reiki is a channeled energy that is not confined by space or time. The practitioner will often use a proxy (their own body, photo, visualization, stuffed animal or doll) in place of their client to send reiki through.
What does reiki feel like?
Everyone experiences reiki differently. The sensations can vary from session to session and from practitioner to practitioner. It is common to feel warmth or cold, tingling, pulsating, or involuntary muscle spasms. Some people feel like they are floating or report seeing images or colors. There are also people who do not feel anything or fall asleep during the session. The healing works on a subconscious level so the receiver does not need to be fully awake or in a state of awareness to receive the benefits of reiki.
Is reiki safe? Who can receive reiki?
Reiki is a non-invasive therapy; by its own principle, it is intended to do no harm. Anyone can receive reiki from babies, children, pregnant women to sick and elderly. Reiki can also be sent to pets, places, and situations. While many people report positive feelings after receiving reiki, some people may experience spiritual detox (headache, tiredness) after the session. During reiki sessions, painful memories that need to be cleared can also come up. If possible, a client should let their practitioner know if they have any injuries or trauma that may impact how they receive reiki. Post-session, clients should monitor any changes and discuss with their primary care doctor any concerns that may arise.
How many sessions does it take before I see results?
The number of sessions needed to see results from Reiki can vary widely depending on several factors, including the individual's specific needs, goals, and responsiveness to energy healing.
Many people notice immediate calming effects from one session. However, reiki works best as a process. Most clients experience deeper and more lasting changes after several sessions, as the body and nervous system learn to settle and rebalance over time.
