About Zenful Balance
Hi, I’m Carmelina.
I work with women who feel overwhelmed, emotionally tired, and disconnected from their bodies — often after years of pushing, caretaking, or living in survival mode.
My work is simple and grounded.
I help your body slow down, release stress, and feel safe again.
This isn’t about fixing you or chasing a transformation.
It’s about learning how to listen to your body, soften tension, and reconnect in a way that feels real and sustainable.
My Path
I didn’t arrive here by accident.
I know what it feels like to live disconnected from your body, to feel burned out, overstimulated, and unsure of what you actually need. At one point, my life no longer reflected who I was becoming, and my body made that very clear.
Choosing a different path meant slowing down.
It meant stepping away from constant pressure and reconnecting with breath, movement, creativity, and nature.
Through this process, I found energy work not as something mystical, but as a practical way to regulate my nervous system, feel present again, and rebuild trust with my body.
That lived experience is the foundation of everything I offer.
How I Work
My sessions are calm, respectful, and body-led.
I don’t rush the process or push for outcomes.
We work with what’s already there gently, honestly, and at your pace.
Clients often come to me feeling:
constantly on edge
emotionally overwhelmed
disconnected from their bodies
tired of “pushing through”
My role is to support your body in slowing down and finding balance again.
The Space
Zenful Balance is a quiet, welcoming space inside my home.
It’s filled with natural light, plants, and a sense of ease.
This is not a clinical setting or a performance space.
It’s a place where you can rest, breathe, and be met exactly as you are.
A Few Things About Me
I love slow mornings with tea, gentle movement, and quiet time
I move my body through dance most of the time in my living room
Morning nature walks are a non-negotiable for me; they’re how I ground myself, regulate my energy, and start the day present
I create jewelry and art as a way to stay grounded and present
I believe routines should support life, not control it
An Invitation
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready to slow down, you’re welcome here.
This work is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about returning to yourself steadily, gently, and in your own time.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-off) practice that supports your body’s natural ability to relax and reset.
During a session, your nervous system is given the space to slow down. Many people experience a sense of calm, grounding, or relief from mental and emotional tension. Some feel warmth or deep relaxation. Others simply notice they feel more settled afterward.
You don’t need to “do” anything or believe in anything. Your body responds on its own.
How It Supports the Body
Reiki encourages your body to move out of stress mode and into a state of rest and regulation.
Research suggests that practices like Reiki can help activate the relaxation response, which may support:
reduced stress and anxiety
improved sleep
a calmer nervous system
a greater sense of balance and well-being
Science doesn’t yet explain every aspect of energy-based practices, but many people notice real, tangible changes in how they feel physically and emotionally after a session.
Do I Need to Believe in It?
No.
You don’t have to understand or believe in energy work for your body to respond. Your nervous system already knows how to settle and rebalance. Reiki simply creates a quiet, supportive environment for that process to happen naturally.
What’s a Session With Me Like?
Every session is different, because every person comes in with different needs.
You’ll lie down fully clothed in a calm, comfortable space. I play soft, relaxing music and work gently with energy using light touch or hands hovering above the body. I may also incorporate sound, oils, or crystals if it feels supportive for that session.
As I work, I pay close attention to where the energy feels heavier or more stuck — often areas where the body holds stress, tension, or emotional weight. The focus is always on helping your body soften, release, and feel more at ease.
Some people feel warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. Others notice a sense of grounding or emotional release. There’s no “right” experience — your body responds in its own way.
You don’t need to do anything or try to make something happen.
You don’t even need to talk unless you want to.
This work isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about creating a supportive space so your body can settle and reconnect in the way it needs that day.
