— The Inner Circle

Live lunar wellness sessions on Discord.

The heart of Lunar Wellness. We gather in our private Discord sanctuary — a circle of individuals holding space for one another. Each session carries an intention, anchors around a chosen crystal, and weaves together meditation, breathwork, and gentle embodied movement. Circles are held on Friday evenings and stream on Discord and TikTok.

Trained, attuned, and held in lineage.

Reiki is passed hand to hand, teacher to student, in an unbroken line back to its founder, Mikao Usui. Mine didn't begin in a classroom. It began with a deck of tarot cards.

Age 5

The first cards

My mom handed me tarot cards before I could read the words printed on them. It was the first way I learned to slow down and pay attention to what I was feeling.

Growing up

Learning to name things

Home wasn't always steady. I grew up around depression and codependency and spent years learning to recognize both — in the house I came from and in myself. Poetry was where I started to express myself, and around then I began reading about alternative medicine.

Paths crossing

Meeting Norma

I found my way to Norma De Jesus and started to rent books about codependency from her and purchase trinkets from her store.

2019

Backspace

I published Backspace, a collection written through that work. Finishing it was the first time I treated my own healing as something worth seeing all the way through.

First sessions

The sessions begin

In time, I started having sessions with her. I'd leave each one certain I wanted to do healing work, and with no idea how. The pull showed up long before the path did.

Turning inward

After things shifted

A few life-altering events sent me further into my own sessions with Norma and deeper into understanding myself. Reiki was what finally helped me heal in a way nothing else had reached.

Certification

Usui Reiki, Levels I–Master

Melissa Crowhurst · Natural Healer™

I completed the full Usui path online, first level through master. It taught me how to work on myself. But learning over a screen, with no one in the room, left me unsure I was ready to hold that space for anyone else.

  • Usui Reiki Level 1 Practitioner
  • Usui Reiki Level 2 Practitioner
  • Usui Reiki Master

Years later

Back to Norma

After years apart, we crossed paths again at a multi-healing session — singing bowls, reiki, tuning forks, the works. Our timing kept catching like that, pulling us back together like a web. We started working together not long after, this time with intention.

2024–2025

Reiki I, in person

Norma De Jesus · The Circle, A Spiritual Emporium

Norma worked with me in my own sessions and then attuned me to Reiki Level I in the Usui tradition — in the room, hand to hand, the way it's meant to be passed.

2025–2026

Reiki II

We carried on into Reiki Level II, deepening both the practice and the lineage I now hold.

Now

Still her student

Over fifteen years in, Norma is still teaching me — breathwork, meditation, how to sit with life when it's hard, and reiki I both receive and give. Some of it is formal training. A lot of it is just showing up and being taught. The work has no finish line.

A circle of humans, held by the moon.

Lunar Wellness is a space for all humans, intentionally so. We gather to remember the wisdom of our bodies, to soften, to be witnessed. If this calls you, you are already one of us.
