In 2018 I started doing lives on social media, offering group reiki via remote.
Every Monday evening, I would do live reiki for people who had ailments.
After a couple of months and before I started my small business, this woman reached out to me after watching a few of my lives.
She lives in the state of New York and is in her 50’s and has had migraines since she was 15 years old.
She has been on various painkillers. However, she was tired of taking pills and wanted to try an alternative.
Although I sent her Reiki in a group setting, she felt the healing immediately!
This woman told me later that she went to her neurologist to get answers. However, her specialist couldn't explain what happened except that there was an unexpected improvement in her brain.
After the second Reiki I performed for her remotely, she needed less mediation, if any at all.
After a few weeks, I learned that she had trauma growing up from mental and emotional abuse.
Later as a young woman, she got married, and the emotional and mental abuse continued from her then-husband. She was married for 25 years and did not know how to escape the marriage until she found strength thanks to a friend. The continued abuse manifested in chronic migraines.
I was not unfamiliar with this phenomenon, if you will, because I grew up with chronic mobility and other issues that doctors could not understand.
I remember that when I was 8 years old, for instance, I had the strangest difficulties climbing stairs. My late mother noticed this because it was quite unusual, especially for an otherwise healthy child like myself. My mother wanted to take me to the doctor to investigate. Unfortunately, my father was against this idea for reasons only he understood.
A few years later, I had another issue that was not normal for an 11-year-old. Finally, my father agreed to take me to a doctor!
I have to admit. I was incredibly fortunate to have this time a doctor who went beyond medical textbooks and basically told my parents that I could sense and understand the chaos around me despite my young age. That caused my issues which resulted in PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder).
Unfortunately, not much could be done because my father was a narcist, and I never thought for a second if he could somehow have caused my health problem or even help me by controlling his outbursts /abusive behavior.
Because of this particular memory, I realized that whenever a person reached out to me for help with a chronic health issue, their health practitioner could not help them or knew what was causing the problem. I learned to ask my clients to share about their current struggles and or their upbringing. Depending on how long the person has had the chronic issue, for me, it was an instant “aha” moment, and I knew what needed to be done.
The amazing part about reiki is that it is universal and is basically loving healing from the Universe.
After helping this woman get rid of her migraine, I started having more people reach out to me whether they realized that their chronic health issues were trauma-related or not.

Dusya Lyubovskaya, Executive Contributor Brainz Magazine
Dusya Lyubovskaya is a leader of ancient holistic modalities. After growing up with an abusive father, her trauma caused her to develop health issues that doctors could clear diagnose. Although Dusya has been passionate about science since her youth, she went into the medical field because she had to be the breadwinner at an early age but never gave up her dream of going into science. During her work taking care of patients, she realized there was more than western medicine could offer. However, she felt she was running into walls. Dusya took care of both of her parents, who died from terminal cancer, and knew that she could at least ease their suffering with the holistic modalities she learned about growing up. After her mother’s passing in 2014, she discovered meditation and Reiki, and a brand new world opened to her full of opportunities! She got trained in reiki, and after a year, she was encouraged by many clients to get paid because she appeared to be very talented.
She would perform energy healing on and off on the side, and in 2018 with additional training, became a holistic life as her clients around the world greatly appreciated her positive energy and experience. Dusya has also evolved in her medical career and started speaking for health care agencies as well as government agencies seeking her advice and expertise. Dusya discovered that many chronic health issues in her clients were caused by trauma so she used her western medicine knowing combined with ancient healing modalities and has been very successful. Meanwhile, Dusya has expanded to helping entrepreneurs who struggle to make more than 5k by helping them increase their money mindset and helping them get unstuck by helping them with inner child soul retrieval and helping them reconnect with their inner child as every issue we face as adults is affected by what we learned as children.
