Meet Haley

 

Hi hi y’all! My name is Haley Meredith.

I’m originally from NYC (though, technically…originally from Dallas…) and moved to Denver in the spring of 2022. I spend far too much of my time trying to find the world’s best gluten free pizza (imagine being diagnosed celiac AFTER having been socialized on NYC pizza and bagels..) and even more time listening to T-Pain sing without autotune.

I am a Reiki Master Practitioner and Reiki Master Teacher in both Usui and Karuna Reiki. I am a Shamanic Reiki Master Practitioner, a certified 500 hour yoga teacher, a certified personal trainer + mobility specialist, certified group fitness instructor, and all around anatomy nerd with over 5,000 hours of training and study.

Once upon a time I dreamed of working in emergency medicine. Despite nearly 6 years of clinical training, my path ebbed and flowed as I did, shifting between extremes; finding the subtle magic that exists between the lines of concretely researched science and whimsically magical spiritual belief.

Over the years I’ve learned that we can always stick to the chaos we know - we can stay within the familiar, perceived safety of turmoil, trauma, and tension. Or, as a very good friend once said, “you can be uncomfortable where you are or you can be uncomfortable and growing.” And even when it has been unimaginably hard, I have found that choosing yourself - really, choosing to exist within the spaces of your life - that’s the work.

That’s healing.

For as much as I geek out about all things medicine, I kept finding myself fighting a broken system and struggling to fit inside a world that cared more about a number than a name. I found my strengths in trauma recovery and in holding space for the more complex and often overlooked human experiences: those of the mind and spirit. I wanted to hear stories of how the hardship of life impacted pain, how family history settled in the body, and I wanted to offer time to each and every patient. I wanted to give them what I always felt I was missing in exam rooms: trust.

While I will forever cherish my time working in emergency medicine, labs, and studying how chemical processes create life, I find so much ease trusting an east-meets-west approach: bridging gaps between modern medicine and holistic healing practices.
