Meet Your Facilitator
Taqiyya Robinson, Reiki Master + Bodyworker
Hi! I'm Taqiyya. Your Reiki Practitioner and Somatic Guide. I'm a New York Native, Capricorn Sun, and an Auntie/Great Auntie to 17 nieces and nephews, Auntie is my most favorite role in life and every part of who I have and will become is dedicated to all my sweet. babies and their futures.
My healing journey started 14 years ago when I moved from New York to San Diego. At that time in my life, I was fresh out of a traumatic relationship, and experiencing, consciously for the first time, anxiety that resulted in panic attacks. (It wasn't until later, I would figure it out ,that the anxiety i experienced was my psychic gifts coming online) I started to go to yoga classes, got a therapist, and began to unpack my life little by little. Together, the two modalities helped me recognize how disconnected I had been from myself and how chronically unsafe I had felt in my body and the world. Up until that point, those glimmers of safety, vulnerability, and self love was something I had only experienced through yogic movement. I knew then, that feeling, was a reconciliation I wanted to help others experience for themselves.
In 2017 I was certified to teach yoga and was introduced to Reiki Energy Healing through Elka Haeckel's Yoga Teacher Training.. After that, Reiki became part of my regular self care and later that year, I became a Certified Level I & II Reiki practitioner by Olivia Hughes of The Om Experience. Whatever I was experiencing that led to a true shift in me, I wanted to learn to do for other people carrying the same wounds. I quit my cushy corporate job and begin teaching at studios all over San Diego. and offering Reiki out of a co-op in Little Italy, I committed to my newfound purpose and haven't looked back since.
50 versions (of myself ) later... Here I am... an Embodied Reiki Master Teacher, Practitioner and Bodyworker who has helped over 2000+ bodies regulate their nervous system and create internal safety through Yoga, Reiki, Energywork, Bodywork, Breathwork, Yoni steaming, Sound healing, and Plant medicine. I took my devotion seriously and have studied myself and all 2000+ bodies, energy fields, and nervous systems, through each of these contexts in order to create medicine that helps you understand the depths of yourself.
My goal for those who seek me out is holistic integration or rather reconciliation--the ability to see, know, and release or accept (with love) the exiled all parts of yourself. Separate from my goals, my mission is to provide a safe, nurturing container for you to do this work.
