Welcome to Old Grateful™, a place for making sense of life, noticing nature's messages, and charging up our energy with Reiki, the universal life force energy we were born to use.
Lori Heinsman, Reiki Master Teacher & Shamanic Mentor
I am Lori Heinsman — writer, teacher, gardener and friend. I began writing Old Grateful™ in 2021 as a way to process the long-term, harmful effects of childhood sexual abuse. Shame and fear kept me silent for so long. Writing opened my voice.
The healing power of writing, when combined with deep study in Reiki and Shamanism, provides a container of safety for looking back on my life, making sense of the situations (even the revolting), and moving forward in gratitude.
The Old Grateful™ name reflects my journey of getting older (60 years and counting), noticing and accepting changes, and being intentional about practicing gratitude. Old Grateful™ stories are written in Lori speak: my voice, my memories, and my understanding of the facts.
Old Grateful™ services
We live in a do-it-yourself (DIY) world, and when it comes to caring for our own bodies, the ease and convenience of self-Reiki is preferred by most everyone.
