Like the seven colors of the rainbow, the human body is composed of seven main healing energy centers, known as chakras, located along the spine. The word “chakra,” meaning “wheel” or “turning,” dates back to the earliest Sanskrit records in ancient India. While these spinning disks exist solely as subtle energy, and not as something that can be seen or touched, they absorb energy from our surroundings and influence every aspect of our bodies – from our emotions to our cells.
By nature, our bodies are constantly trying to maintain homeostasis; our chakras seek the same. Energy, also known as “prana,” flows freely through balanced chakras, bringing spiritual harmony to the mind, body and soul.

At Awaken Gratitude, we offer chakra balancing by realigning the energy through the chakra system. As humans, we long to deeply connect with others; we also seek inner peace. Serenity is found within the harmonies of the body, mind and spirit. As your practitioner, I strive to provide the education as well as the assistance to harness the tools for you to continue your healing journey outside of our sessions.
In addition to chakra balancing, we provide Reiki treatments and toxin-free living consults, utilizing a holistic approach to healing. We are excited to now offer The Chakra Collection, a unique way to align, balance, cleanse and revitalize each of the chakras. The Chakra Collection consists of seven all-natural doTERRA essential oil blends which work with the corresponding chakras. Kim with Awaken Gratitude personally blends, cleanses and charges each set with Reiki, intention, energy and love.
