The Transformative Healing Journey
A Review of 15 Years of Spiritual and Holistic Wellness
In a world that often focuses on fast-paced solutions and superficial fixes, finding a true healer who understands the complexities of the human soul, mind and body is a rare blessing. For the past 15 years, an incredible healer has been my beacon of light, guiding me through some of the darkest tunnels with a unique ability to see beyond the physical and into the metaphysical – helping me find peace, healing and spiritual connection.
Not only is she a gifted practitioner in Reiki and craniosacral therapy (CST), but her talents go far beyond any traditional modality. She possesses a profound gift for reading into the soul’s deepest wounds, uncovering emotional and spiritual blockages and facilitating healing in ways that modern treatments often overlook. My journey with this incredible healer began in 2010 and her craft and care have shaped my life in extraordinary ways.
A journey of healing through Reiki and spiritual connection
My first encounter with Delizia occurred in 2010, during one of the most personally challenging periods of my life.
At the time, I had just completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in Archaeology and History and was preparing to embark on a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Palaeontology. I have spent over 20 years immersed in the world of ‘hard’ / ‘quantitative’ sciences. Despite this, I have never seen a conflict between science and belief, or between science and faith. I am, in many ways, a scientist with a soul – someone who understands the value of empirical evidence but also respects the unseen forces that govern our spiritual lives.
As most of the Odyssey readers know, Reiki is an energy healing modality that originated in Japan. The focus is on on balancing the body’s energy (or ‘ki’) through gentle touch or the placement of hands. As a scientist, the idea of energy transfer was not entirely foreign to me, but I approached the session with guarded curiosity and an open mind. What I didn’t expect was how far beyond traditional Reiki this session would take me.
During that first session, this healer not only worked with my body’s energy but also connected with the spirit of my deceased daughter. This was an unexpected and life-changing experience. While I had approached the session seeking emotional relief from the pain of the divorce and my grief, I left with a profound sense of spiritual awakening. It was then that I realised she was much more than a Reiki practitioner, she was a healer who worked on both the physical and spiritual planes.
In that session, I was also guided to confront early traumas in my life.
After this healing journey, life led us in different directions and we didn’t reconnect for nearly a decade. It wasn’t until around a year ago, during one of my darkest times, that I sought her guidance again.
Reconnecting after 10 years: Craniosacral therapy and remote healing
Fast forward to six months or a year ago, when our paths crossed once more. This time, I was in a place of deep emotional pain, struggling to find my footing. Despite the time that had passed, Delizia welcomed me back with the same care and compassion as before, but now with new modalities to offer.
In the years since our last meeting, Delizia had studied various healing techniques, expanding her practice to include craniosacral therapy (CST). What was remarkable about this new chapter in our journey together was that our sessions were conducted remotely. Even though I was often living far from my healer, sometimes hundreds of kilometres away, the distance never hindered the depth of her healing work. Through virtual consultations, we began craniosacral therapy sessions, focusing on releasing the tension and trauma stored in my body’s fascia and exploring deeper emotional and spiritual connections. Remote CST sessions were transformative. Her ability to tune into my body’s energy from afar and guide me through emotional releases was unlike anything I had experienced before. Over these past six months,   I have delved even deeper into my healing journey, confronting traumas from my past and finding a new sense of balance and wellbeing.
A holistic approach to healing: Reiki, craniosacral therapy and spiritual mediumship
What makes this approach so unique is the seamless integration of different healing modalities – ranging from Reiki to craniosacral therapy to intuitive mediumship – into a holistic practice that addresses the entirety of a person’s being. When we first connected, Reiki was the primary tool used, but even then, it was clear that her healing abilities went beyond energy work. She intuitively tapped into emotional blockages and traumas and, during my sessions, she often channelled messages from the spiritual realm, offering insights that were life-changing.
Over the last six months, we’ve deepened our work together with craniosacral therapy. This non-invasive technique focuses on releasing tension in the body’s fascia and is a powerful tool for emotional and spiritual healing.
