Episode #185 Mayumi Pachkoski Skeptic To Six Figures: Building An Energy Healing Business

A New Year of Reiki Set Reiki 

What if your skincare routine could carry intention—and your healing practice could carry itself? Tracy sits down with  Mayumi Pachkoski, a Japan-born aesthetician and energy healer who built a six-figure salon from scratch and now mentors practitioners to grow with clarity, ethics, and calm. From her early skepticism to the moment clients began feeling “something more” in her facials, Mayumi shares how Reiki and kaizen turned curiosity into a credible business.

We explore a lesser-known history: why many Japanese people never learned about Reiki post–World War II, and how the practice quietly resurfaced after flourishing abroad. That context reframes modern misconceptions—this isn’t a trend, it’s a resilient tradition. Mayumi also addresses client fears about “bad energy,” offering clear language for what actually shifts during a session: stagnation clears, flow returns, and life softens. She gives practical ways to bring energy into skincare—infusing products with intention, engaging palm chakras during cleansing, and visualizing renewal—so everyday rituals become mini tune-ups.

Then we get tactical. Mayumi’s business guidance blends mindset and mechanics: start on the side while you save, invest in real business skills, price with self-respect, and focus growth on one lever at a time. She explains how money is simply energy in motion, how to release guilt around charging, and why consistency beats aesthetics for ROI. We talk boundaries, referrals when your calendar is full, entity choices, and the underrated power of “Reiki-ing” your business—goals, systems, and finances included.

If you’re a healer ready to grow without burnout, this conversation offers a grounded map: fewer, better moves, repeated with intention. Subscribe, share with a practitioner friend, and leave a review telling us your next 1% improvement—what are you ready to align?
