Taking the Steps Towards a Happy and Healthy Mind, Body and Spirit!
Who am I?
Hey All! My name is Makenna Alex Maimin. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and lived a relatively normal childhood. I attended conventional schools and eventually went to the University of California, Santa Barbara, where I studied psychology and planned to get my bachelors degree. About three years into my studies I started noticing a serious decline in my will to participate in life. It took a lot for me to finally face the fact that I was pursuing a goal that wasn't making me happy, and it became blatantly obvious to myself and everyone around me that I was battling a very tough case of anxiety, depression, and body dysmorphia. This struggle was extremely debilitating and stopped me from succeeding in most of my endeavors. I dropped out of college, began taking antidepressants, and was left in a space where I had little choice but to lift myself up and gain a new purpose. In my search for purpose, I decided to get my Yoga Teacher Training credentials, and thus began my journey towards my own spiritual practice that changed my life forever.
Learning and understanding how the health of the mind and the health of the body are inseparably interconnected was the most vital idea of all in aiding me towards my spiritual growth. When I began implementing the practices I'd learned into my daily life, I began noticing a natural, but incredibly empowering rise in my overall wellbeing. Through meditation, reiki, connection to my true source, and aligning my spiritual health with clean nutrition, I began to develop a true love for myself. I began to trust in my higher self, and came to the realization that I myself held the answers to all that I need within my own divine being. I was beginning to transform. I was literally blossoming like a healthy tree. I no longer needed meds, and became a far better, and more confident version of myself.
While embracing my new path, I developed an insatiable thirst to learn more and do more, in order to continue bringing positivity into my life. I became attuned to Reiki level II; tapping into my ability to become a channel of healing spiritual energy. In addition to my Reiki certification, I also enrolled in the American School of Natural Health through the School of Naturopathy in England to become certified as a homeopathic health coach. After really learning and understanding the human body and how our physical beings work, I was then able to pair my spiritual and scientific expertise to create the perfect path towards physical and emotional healing and wellbeing.
Using my method on myself has provided me the perfect evidence of its efficiency. Since using my approach, I have developed an incredible natural zest for life. I have found my calling, and love myself more than I ever have in my lifetime. I am able to connect to my higher mind, and always find the answers to my problems within myself. I live an extremely healthy and well balanced lifestyle, and want more than anything else to pay this forward. I want to provide the gift of a high vibration to the rest of the world.
My Mission
As a Homeopathic Health Coach, I aim to guide my clients towards an enlightened state, and provide a means of healing through spiritual practice and lifestyle change. My holistic approach to a healthy and happy mind body and spirit is one which I believe exceeds the effects of conventional (allopathic) medicine. When a client comes to me for personal consulting, I use an array of meditative techniques and Reiki, paired with a nutrition plan and personalized "homework" provided for each client to do, so that their healing continues outside of our workspace.
What Is Reiki?
Since the discovery of this hands on healing technique in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui, Reiki has been used as a tool to activate a natural healing process in the body by cultures world wide. By placing my hands on my clients' bodies, I am able to channel an energy source and restore both physical and emotional well-being.
Before the Reiki begins, I put my clients in a meditative trance-- a space in which they are able to drop deep into their higher minds and connect to source energy. In this space my clients are inherently more receptive to the energy coming through and often have profound revelations and epiphanies regarding their personal answers towards illumination and healing.
