"Reiki cured my anxiety!"

Terri Ann Heiman was married to the love of her life; she had two children, a home in Long Island, New York, and had just started a jewelry company. Then one morning, her husband walked into the kitchen and told her he was in love with another woman.

In hindsight, maybe Terri Ann wasn’t that surprised. Still, she was devastated. Her husband moved out, leaving her with all the responsibilities of caring for the children and running the house and her business.

Feeling overwhelmed, Terri Ann tried talk therapy. Her children, ages 6 and 7 at the time, were also in counseling. Still, Terri Ann couldn’t sleep or eat. She was having panic attacks, and the children were constantly fighting with each other.
