In this week’s episode of Pretty Private with Eboné, Eboné sits down with Reiki Master Teacher Jissel Ravelo for a conversation about healing, self-discovery, and the journey of reconnecting with yourself. Jissel opens up about growing up in a Dominican household in NYC, her experiences with chronic depression and anxiety, and how those challenges led her toward spirituality and becoming a Reiki practitioner.
Jissel breaks down what Reiki is, where the practice comes from, the misconceptions surrounding it, and how energy healing can support emotional wellness alongside traditional mental health practices. She shares what it means to hold space for others while continuing to prioritize her own healing, and how her personal experiences shaped the way she guides others through their own journeys.
