Reiki Master Teacher, Intuitive Healer & Author
Lori Pigeon Kumskis grew up in Colorado where she naturally connected with her spiritual and holistic path. Lori started out working in the natural health industry in the mid to late 1990's and was considering a career in oriental medicine.
During that time, she also had opportunities to work in the fashion industry and opted for a career in fashion spanning 17 years . Lori always maintained her own health and wellness through natural and alternative healing modalities.
after experiencing several close family members’ deaths, Lori went through her own healing process employing alternative healing therapies and what she considers “healthy grieving.” Over time, she began to embrace these events as part of her life’s path and purpose, to not only heal herself, but to assist others on their healing journeys.
Lori really began walking her healing path as a certified “direct patient” and “bereavement” volunteer for hospice from 2009-2011. This experience led her to work as an estate liquidator from 2012-2020, helping families sort through and sell the contents of a loved one’s home. Starting in 2017, Lori began training in Usui Reiki Energy healing and became a certified Usui Reiki Master Teacher in 2020. From 2021-2023, she decided to help families during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic by working in the funeral industry as a Licensed Family Service Counselor. in 2023, Lori also became certified as an “integral” sound healing practitioner.
Lori is passionate about healing and helping others find the best healing methods to suit them. She embraces spiritual, shamanic, holistic, alternative, and creative healing modalities and enjoys sharing her experiences and healing methods with others.
She has written several books: “Estate Sales (Updated)” The Art and Business of Selling Memories, “A Simple Guide to Healthy Grieving” and a series of family journals titled “Remember Me” A Workbook for Remembering “a Woman”, “a Man” or “Someone” You Love. All books are available on Amazon.com.
Lori teaches and shares spiritual and holistic healing advice through in person classes and videos on her YouTube channel, Reiki & Wellness.
It is safe to say that Lori has already helped thousands of individuals and families through some of the most challenging times in their lives.
She uses her Intuitive, empathic healing energy with a mindful, compassionate approach to abide with and empower people to face their pain, grief, and trauma. Lori continues to guide them safely onto their healing and recovery path, creating lasting transformation.

Reiki & Mindfulness
What is Reiki Energy Healing?
Reiki is an ancient healing modality that was adopted and modified by several practitioners in Japan. These practitioners developed their own Reiki systems and Schools. Lori trained in the Usui Reiki system developed by Mikao Usui. Lori is considered a 9th generation Reiki master teacher.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation, that also stimulates the bodies innate healing abilities. The word Reiki comes from, Rei-meaning “God’s Wisdom” (Tao), Ki-meaning “Life force energy.”
So, Reiki Means spiritually guided life force energy.
Reiki is an energy healing system that is meant to act as a holistic, complimentary treatment to professional healthcare and is excellent at assisting the body with recovery after any major medical treatment or trauma.
Reiki works with the bodies energy system known as Chakras and meridians. For our bodies, minds, and spirits to be in optimal health and harmony, these chakras and meridians must be open, flowing and balanced.
Reiki healing is the transference of “Universal Life Force Energy” from a Reiki Practitioner to the client. The Reiki practitioner has trained and has become attuned to this healing energy by a reiki master teacher and then by practice.
The practitioner channels this “universal life force energy” through their own energy field and body, then guides the healing energy through their hands into the clients “auric field” and “chakra system”.
The “Auric field” is the energy field that surrounds our body and stores information that relates to the health and history of every person.
A reiki practitioner can sense with their hands and intuition any blocks in the energy field and chakra system. Once a block is detected the practitioner works to remove the block energetically, then sends healing energy to restore balance and harmony to the client’s energy system so they may resume a balanced, harmonious state.
“Everything is energy before it materializes. “
What is Mindfulness?
According to the Oxford dictionary, mindfulness is defined 2 ways.
1) As the quality or state of being conscious or aware of something.
2) A mental state achieved by focusing one’s awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging & accepting one’s feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations. Used as a therapeutic technique.
Lori started exploring mindfulness techniques to reduce the frequency and duration of migraine headaches that she experienced in the early 1990's.
What she discovered was an amazing way to control overthinking and a healthy, productive way to manage emotions.
over the past three decades, she has studied and practiced numerous mindfulness and healing techniques. Lori implements a daily mindfulness practice to slow down and quiet mental chatter.
Mindfulness practice brings power, focus, appreciation, and attention to the present moment.
This practice helps you feel better and has numerous health benefits.
if practiced regularly and consistently Mindfulness will enhance every aspect of your life.
Mindfulness has been proven to reduce the effects of aging by slowing mental and physical decline due to its stress reduction properties.
Mindfulness also enhances relationships of every kind by helping you to be more present with every person and aspect of your life.
Once Lori started training in Reiki energy healing, she naturally paired the two practices together to achieve tremendously deep healing.
When you apply superior focus to energy work, its easier to detect root issues that block the chakra and meridian system.
Using the breath work that is taught in many mindful practices, Lori is able to clear and move blocked energy easily.
the combination of mindfulness practice and reiki energy healing
can effectively reduce stress, manage emotions and heal blockages.
if practiced consistently, these healing modalities create healthy habits that allow you to manage emotions “on-the-spot” and achieve instant relief from all forms of:
stress, pain, anxiety, Addiction, mental, and emotional anguish.
sitting for just 5-mintues per day in a quiet space, focusing on your
in-breath and out-breath is an easy way to start.
