Meet Donna Wojcik | Reiki Master Teacher, Intuitive Guide and Mentor, Sound Bath Practitioner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Donna Wojcik and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I own a healing practice where I provide Reiki energy healing, sound baths, card readings, spiritual guidance, and intuition development courses. I hold space for those who aren’t sure what type of healing they are seeking and help provide clarity and guidance as needed.

About 3 -4 years ago, I was suffering from chronic pain that my doctors and specialists couldn’t explain as well as having scary and unexplainable experiences spiritually. I sought out an Energy Healer to assist me and I started to feel better mentally, physically, and emotionally. I felt that I was given a direction with my physical, spiritual, and mental health and wellness.

Shortly after, I became drawn to Reiki and went through the trainings to become certified. When I first became certified as a Reiki healer, I provided free healing sessions to friends and family. Through that process, I knew I wanted to help others in this way and that was the beginning of my healing practice.

I was a 3rd-grade teacher when I started my business and continued to teach for a year. This made my availability very limited. I was only able to provide services in the evening and on weekends. Although I was tired after a day of teaching, I knew that my healing work was important, and it energized me. I finally made the difficult decision to resign from teaching to focus full-time on my practice. I knew I was taking a risk, giving up a steady income that helped support my family of 4 into this unknown world of owning and running my own business. My husband and I decided that we would make it work.

Since resigning, my business has grown, and more people are able to come see me now that my availability has opened up. I believe that I went from one meaningful and rewarding calling to another and that alone brings me peace.

I am looking forward to the expansion of my practice, Kindred Healing Space, that will house a community of healers, wellness practitioners, and coaches as well as include yoga, meditation, sound baths, etc. It will bring awareness to alternative forms of healing and assist others in finding balance in their mind, body, and spirit.

I come down to San Diego, my hometown, from Washington state throughout the year to provide In-Person sessions. I also offer remote sessions that are just as effective as in person.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First things first, I would definitely take anyone visiting San Diego to the beach. It’s free, relaxing, and fun! My favorite beach is Fletcher’s Cove in Solana Beach. I take my kids and their friends there all the time. We also always find our way to Balboa Park and Old Town whenever we get a chance. The architecture and energy is beautiful there and a great place to feel into the history of San Diego. A trip to San Diego is never complete without trying the Mexican food. Really, you can go to any Mexican food stand or mom and pop restaurant and it’ll be delicious. I suggest Rolled Tacos or Carne Asada chips or fries.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My husband has been my rock throughout this entire process. Prior to becoming certified as a Reiki Master, I was going through what some may call a Spiritual Awakening. I thought I was going crazy and couldn’t understand experiences I was going through. Something he said really shifted my thinking and is the reason I have my own business today. He said, “Maybe what you’re experiencing is not a curse but a gift.” He has been nothing but supportive when I started my healing practice and has really encouraged me to think big when it comes to what I’m capable of accomplishing.

My family and friends have also been extremely supportive, whether that’s asking questions about my business, supporting it by scheduling sessions with me, purchasing my handmade products, or sharing my business with others.

I’m also very grateful to other small business owners, especially women, who have been so inspiring and supportive and to my clients who believe in me and my work.
