Meet Keela Starr

Keela, we are so happy that our community is going to have a chance to learn more about you, your story and hopefully even take in some of the lessons you’ve learned along the way. Let’s start with self-care – what do you do for self-care and has it had any impact on your effectiveness?
I introduce self care into my life in different forms. I practice self-reiki and meditation daily. That keeps me grounded and balanced. I also enjoy making natural body products, cooking and baking as a creative outlet– it brings me peace.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m a certified Reiki Master and Officiant. My practice is called, The Nova Center. My office is located in Atlanta, Georgia and the majority of my clients are referrals. Referrals are such a huge blessing to me because it shows that I’ve made a positive change for them, and in return they want to see people balanced and thriving.

Most people will ask, “What is Reiki?”
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, a type of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which “energy” is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

I was introduced to this form of energy healing in 2016. I was seeking something that I couldn’t put my finger on. Growing up and spending the majority of my adult life in the church, I was taught that we were created to be a blessing. I knew I had a gift, I just didn’t find that gift as traditionally as some would understand.
