My Story
From Stressed Analytics Professional to HeartMath Certified Mentor, Mind-Body & Reiki Practitioner: Larisa Sipek’s Journey
Discover my journey as I overcame my struggles through the Japanese Art of Healing with Reiki and mind-body medicine. Let me guide you on your path to inner peace and fulfillment.
About Me
My name is Larisa Sipek, and I’m a former Senior Data Science & Analytics professional turned holistic Burnout Prevention & Recovery Mentor, Mind-Body Practitioner, HeartMath® Certified Mentor, Results Coach, Master Level Reiki practitioner of Traditional Japanese Reiki and professional member of the Australian Reiki Connection & America’s Center for Reiki Research.
For many years, I found myself caught in the web of chronic stress, walking a tightrope between my professional and personal life. I pursued a career in data science & analytics, but despite delivering results to my employers, I was constantly stressed. The unceasing pressure to conform and meet external expectations, while raising a family, took a toll on my well-being, leading to a persistent state of chronic stress both at work and at home. This unrelenting stress left me feeling trapped, perpetually self-doubting my abilities and questioning the choices I had made in my career and personal life.
The Breakdown that Led to a Powerful Breakthrough
My journey took a harrowing turn, and I hit rock bottom—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My health began to deteriorate, leading to serious health conditions that had a massive impact on my quality of life. Eventually, my nervous system couldn’t bear the weight of it all, and in a moment of crushing despair, I experienced a nervous breakdown that left me traumatised, reaching the scariest and the lowest point in my life. However, this was where my journey truly began.
After the conventional approach to recovery focused on symptom management through medication, I felt shattered and empty and unable to comprehend who I have become, but my family gave me the strength to find another way out, and that’s when I discovered the concept of mind-body medicine, and encountered the Japanese healing art of Reiki on Cleveland Clinic’s web site.
After dedicating over 2,500 hours to Japanese Reiki, countless hours to many mind-body practices, disconnecting from media, and embracing the healing power of nature, I woke up one morning in pure bliss, feeling nothing but unconditional love, starting a new life and living from the heart. On that day I discovered my why – prevent others becoming victims to burnout.
Persistent Reiki practice became my lifeline, guiding me to inner peace and strength. It helped me navigate struggles, find purpose and meaning, and become free of pain, illness, and suffering, leaving 12 prescription medications behind.
