Today we’d like to introduce you to Brooks Betts.
Hi Brooks, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I spent two decades working in media and marketing for big brands like Real Simple, Travel + Leisure, Moroccanoil, and PAIGE Denim. What I always loved about that work was diving deep with the brands and founders to uncover the story behind them and the emotional connection they had with their audiences.
Fast forward, I moved to the ‘burbs and became a mom (x3), and I was finding myself not only burnt out but also feeling really unaligned with my work. I started looking into new systems of self-understanding and self-care and through that personal journey, reconnected with my intuitive gifts from childhood and became passionate about sharing energy work with others. I am now a Reiki Master, Breath+ Meditation Guide and Writer. I work with individuals, corporations, and private groups of all sizes and am proud to bring a uniquely grounded lens to this work that combines my experiences in corporate America, motherhood, and energy work to serve real people living in the real world.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
While I wouldn’t say it’s been easy, I have definitely felt supported and have found that the more I followed what felt right, the easier things started to flow. While holding space and supporting people with big emotions is not light work, I have found that this work energizes me, which has been a key indicator that it’s where I am meant to be right now.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
My business is…me! I offer energy-based healing for individuals and groups and also have a series of virtual and in-person corporate wellness workshops in motion. I am passionate about sharing the healing benefits of Reiki with even the most skeptical of people — watching the connections happen for them, and that shift in awareness is a privilege. I integrate breathwork, meditation, and Oracle card readings into almost every session and am now also offering auriculotherapy aka “ear seeds.” I’m currently studying the Tarot and look forward to bringing that into my work soon! I think what makes me unique is that I bring a really grounded, relatable, and light energy to this work — healing doesn’t have to feel like a root canal, and it doesn’t have to be an experience steeped in jargon and hierarchy — to me it’s all about helping people connect to their own intuition and empowering them to live in alignment once they do.
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
People who have met me through this work are surprised that I worked in corporate America for so long – and I think on the flip side, people who knew me during that time of life are surprised to see me doing this work now. I think we’re all a little too scared of change – that’s really what listening to intuition is all about; it requires us to make a distinction between what we want and need and what others expect of us.
