In this episode, meet my guest, Rachel Pray. With over a decade of experience working in clinical settings as a therapist with diverse populations in community mental health,  now trained as a Master healer in Reiki,  Rachel facilitates Reiki healing to horses and humans and offers Dharma wisdom to clients through her Reiki + Wisdom Energy Healing & Counselling practice.

The impact of losing her mom to cancer at age 17 and coming out as queer at age 20, the marginalization of groups, losing your identity and getting grounded with Buddhist practices are just some of the topics covered in this robust conversation.

As an activist, Rachel advocates for her LGBTQ community, racial equality, peace and economic justice. In addition, she is a contributor to the ground-breaking anthology “Kiss Me Goodnight”, written by women who lost their mothers when they were young.
