"Healing does not mean forgetting.
It means learning how to live with
what has been lost."
Soul Journeys Healing
& Companioning
A place to come back to yourself.
At Soul Journeys Healing & Companioning, healing is the foundation. I offer Intuitive Reiki to support deep relaxation, energetic balance, and a gentle return to wholeness - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Each session is guided by what your body and energy are asking for in that moment.
Alongside Reiki, I offer grief support - a compassionate space to tend to loss, honour what has been changed, and feel less alone. Together, these offerings support healing that is grounded, respectful, and deeply human.
Writing
Alongside my healing work, I am a writer.
Writing has been an important part of my own healing since I was a very young child — a way of making sense of the world, tending what is tender, and staying connected to what matters when words are hard to find.
I write about grief, healing, and what it means to live with tenderness after loss. I am currently working on a book rooted in lived experience, reflection, and the quiet ways we learn how to live again.
More to come.

Client Experiences
These reflections come from individuals who have allowed me to walk beside them in healing, grief, and transformation. Their words are shared with deep gratitude.
I was referred to Merrilee by a friend after the loss of my husband.
At our first visit, I felt lost and overwhelmed by grief and my new reality. Merrilee offered support, understanding, and gentle insight into the grieving process within a calm and comfortable space.
Her willingness to share parts of her own experience made her deeply relatable and easy to speak with. Over time, our conversations — often bringing quiet moments of clarity — along with the Reiki sessions, which always leave me feeling lighter, have helped me continue moving forward.
Sherry
Merrilee is an exceptionally compassionate and gifted practitioner. What began as support through grief has grown into ongoing Reiki sessions that have deeply influenced my personal and spiritual growth.
Her presence is grounding, intuitive, and genuinely healing. She listens with care, works with deep sensitivity, and offers guidance in a way that feels both supportive and transformative.
I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking healing, clarity, or connection. Even a single session can be meaningful, and continued work has been life-changing for me.
Sonia
I had a deeply meaningful experience studying with Merrilee.
I began with Level I and loved the experience so much that I returned for Level II. Merrilee is a patient, compassionate, and deeply knowledgeable teacher who ensures her students truly understand the material while feeling supported throughout their journey.
I met her during a difficult period in my life, and her guidance, encouragement, and steady presence brought clarity and direction when I needed it most. I am deeply grateful for her support and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone beginning or continuing their Reiki path.

Healing unfolds differently for each of us, and every journey is met with presence and compassion.
