In the latest episode of the Mindful Womb Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Carolina Sotomayor, a Reiki womb healer who shared her incredible journey through grief, healing, and motherhood. I am excited to delve into the key themes we discussed, particularly the transformative role of Reiki in fertility and the importance of emotional safety during pregnancy and childbirth.


Carolina's Journey: From Grief to Healing

Carolina's story is both poignant and inspiring. After losing her father in 2014, she embarked on a spiritual awakening that led her to explore various healing modalities. It was during this time of deep sorrow that she discovered Reiki. Carolina explained how Reiki not only facilitated her emotional healing but also played a crucial role in her journey to conceive her son, Ollie. She emphasized that Reiki helped her release profound grief, allowing her to reconnect with feelings of safety and worthiness that had been disrupted by loss.


Understanding Reiki and Its Impact on Fertility

In our conversation, Carolina described Reiki as a powerful life force energy that can help unblock chakras, especially the sacral plexus chakra associated with fertility. Emotional trauma can manifest physically, affecting one’s ability to conceive. By engaging in Reiki sessions, Carolina created a more supportive environment for conception, showcasing the mind-body connection in reproductive health.


Key Insights on Reiki:

  • Definition: Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique that channels life force energy through a practitioner.

  • Chakras: The body has seven main energy centers (chakras); blockages can impact physical and emotional health.

  • Distance Healing: Reiki can be performed remotely, making it accessible regardless of location.


The Importance of Emotional Safety

A significant theme we explored is the concept of emotional safety during pregnancy and childbirth. Carolina highlighted that feeling safe—both physically and emotionally—is essential for a positive birth experience. She encouraged listeners to identify their emotional needs and communicate them clearly to ensure they receive the support they deserve.


Strategies for Creating Emotional Safety:

  • Identify Support Systems: Recognize who in your life provides emotional safety and support.

  • Communicate Needs: Be open about your feelings and needs with your healthcare providers and loved ones.

  • Practice Mindfulness: Engage in practices like Reiki or meditation to foster a sense of grounding and safety.


This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the intricate connection between our emotions and physical health, especially regarding fertility and childbirth. Carolina's journey illustrates how embracing grief and seeking healing through modalities like Reiki can lead to profound transformations. By prioritizing emotional safety and understanding our bodies' energy systems, we can cultivate healthier experiences throughout pregnancy and beyond.


I invite you to listen to this enlightening episode of the Mindful Womb Podcast. Whether you are expecting or supporting someone who is, Carolina's insights offer valuable perspectives on navigating the complexities of fertility and motherhood. Together, let’s create an environment where every individual feels empowered to embrace their journey with confidence and grace.
