Who is Stephanie Schueller from State of Reiki?
What is your story?
I’ve always had a great interest in alternative treatment modalities because I believe that sometimes western doctors don’t have all the answers to our aches and pains. A few years ago, my 8-year-old daughter started getting very stressed at school, resulting in panic attacks including sweaty hands, a racing heart rate, pacing and sleeplessness. So I started looking into holistic treatments to help her.
I heard about reiki from a friend who took the course to become a therapist and remembered her telling me all the relaxing effects it had on her family. It sounded very intriguing. The first time I experienced reiki, I was blown away by the amazing soothing effect the energy had on me. My entire body was prickly and tingling. After a few minutes, a relaxing wave washed over me. I was in another world.
After my basic and advanced reiki training, I felt inspired to lay my hands on everyone who had aches and pains. Friends and family first, but soon I received requests for reiki via referrals. So I asked myself, why shouldn’t I share what I know and be of service?
The Singapore circuit breaker in 2020 gave me the perfect opportunity to build a website and offer distant reiki treatments by way of donation. People could pay whatever they wanted and all proceeds went to my chosen charity. This created a lot of interest from people who were stuck at home and loved receiving reiki energy.
Since then I established a lovely practice and I see many clients for in-person reiki sessions every day.
What motivates me?
Seeing my clients improve their anxiety levels is motivation enough for me to keep going and love what I do. A client once came to see me after going through a particularly challenging time. She only realised she needed help when she got to a point of sleeplessness and had trouble focusing and waves of panic.
During our sessions, she went from crying to laughing to feeling nauseous as all sorts of emotions came to the surface. I supported her with in-person sessions as well as distant reiki whenever she had a rough day. After about four to five sessions, she started to feel better, her sleep improved dramatically and she was able to move on with more confidence and motivation. Stories like these validate what I do.
I am fascinated by the body-mind connection. I love reading about the link between physical pain and its metaphysical meaning. Take the neck problems many of us suffer from. The neck represents the ability to be flexible in our thinking, to see the other side of a question, and to see another person’s viewpoint. When there are problems with the neck, it usually means we’re being stubborn about our concept of a situation.
How I keep stress levels low?
I wear the hats of an entrepreneur, boss, accountant, wife, mother, homework tutor, cook, and nurse all in one. It can be challenging at times to maintain that work-life balance. Our mental and physical health is so important for us to function in our active lives. Of course, I reiki myself whenever I get the chance. I really enjoy “walk-and-talk” sessions with a friend, too. My most recent discovery is the new Rifle Range Nature Reserve.
One piece of advice I have?
That’s a tough question, so I’ll quote myself giving advice to my teenage daughter, as this is a relevant topic right now. Enjoy what life has to offer you, follow your dreams and passions, and don’t forget to breathe.

Who is Camilla Knight from Creative Connection?
What Was your crossroad Moment?
As Camilla says:
My crossroad moment: My crossroads happened before I was a mum. I was living in London and had a demanding corporate job, I was young and still in ‘people pleaser’ mode which eventually led to a panic attack. When I went to my Doctor he said ‘you need to learn to breath, there is a yoga studio above the surgery’.. and that was it! I suddenly realised that there was a different way to live a life and BE and I realised that I am the master of my own destiny as I stepped out of victim mode and started to create a life i’d dreamed of. I had my son at 40 years old with ease, he was a dream come true (having been told I couldn’t have children). I am so grateful that I can be around for him fully by not working a 9-5 yes there are sacrifices that come with working sporadic hours and having an inconsistent income but its totally worth it!

Who is Iva Perez from Momergy Movement?
Not so long ago, I was a sabotaging overachiever. And I was also feeling like a crappy mom. I was stretched out thin, trying to juggle so many balls in the air, attempting to grow my business and raising my little ones. Wanting to do it perfectly and on my own. And I was failing miserably at everything!
I would snap at my kids and blow up like Mommy Volcano, only to feel guilty immediately afterwards.
I would promise myself I wouldn’t do it again. And the next morning, before 8am, there I was, getting triggered and over-reacting.
Businesswise, things were not better.
I was working around the clock, staying up late, hustling and putting in so much effort… and yet…
it always seemed…
I…couldn’t… push…through….
Until I became tired of being tired. Why was the life I desired and strived for NOT available to me???
I felt I had lost myself. I didn’t like the way I was showing up as a mother, a wife, and as a business owner. I was looking for answers.
And then the lightbulb moment came. I found a way to bring my subconscious mind onboard. The part of me that is 30,000 times more powerful than my conscious mind and was inadvertent, sabotaging the show. I began to learn how to talk to it in a way that it would grant me what I wanted. I had found a way back. Back to who I truly was. That harsh, critical inner voice became a true cheerleader, friendly, patient, understanding… I was making decisions without feeling guilty or judging myself. I felt mentally calm and expansive.
Like I could finally breathe!
I was able to enjoy the life I had in the moment. I was finally writing the chapter in the book of my life where the FUN PART actually begins. (and the ANXIOUS PART exits the stage to the right). When I experienced this rapid transformational experience that CHANGED me for the better, I knew I had found my purpose and passion in life.
As a mother/founder I realized we are truly a unique breed, raising a family and growing a business while sharing our unique gifts with the world. Doing what we love and loving what we do is a great privilege.
One that I am eternally grateful for. I realize not everyone is able to spend their adult life following their true passion. This is certainly a privilege I don’t take lightly. This is a place of full empowered saturation where I deeply know where I belong and what I was meant to do. To change the planet, we need to change families. When we collectively come together, experiencing true authentic sisterhood, we go back to our families and to our kids as a better version of ourselves. As the gatekeepers of the family, we get to create a powerful backbone on which a new generation is nurtured. Children that get to grow up thriving, free, living their life purpose, fully connected and changing the world!
This is the reason why I do what I do. Because the more healing we can do collectively, the higher we all rise. I want more children to have successful moms, with successful businesses. So we can change the course of the planet for the better. While enjoying our unique journeys along the way.
