On this episode of The Secrets of Being, I’m joined by the radiant Kiki Penn—a reiki healer, Lyme disease advocate, and wise soul whose story reminds us what it means to come home to ourselves after deep illness and isolation.
Kiki shares how her journey into holistic healing began early—with a love for herbs, crystals, and the intuitive whispers that only some can hear. But it was a tick bite one summer, during a visit to her grandparents, that changed the course of her life. Her health declined, her marriage crumbled, and for seven years she found herself mostly bedridden—grappling with Lyme disease while also watching her sister navigate the same diagnosis.
She tells us about the moment she nearly gave up on her holistic roots—until a powerful encounter in Washington, D.C. introduced her to bee venom therapy. With courage and patience, Kiki began administering bee venom three times a week for over a year. Slowly, she started to feel like herself again. She reminds us that healing doesn’t come in quick fixes—it comes in stillness, in intention, and in choosing to keep going.
We explore her work as a reiki healer, how energy can move what words cannot, and what it means to witness someone else’s pain with tenderness and presence. Kiki shares a story of a couple she worked with—how the session unearthed old trauma, yet left them lighter, freer. She also opens up about her calling to become a soul guide or death doula, inspired by her time caring for elders who had no family at the end of their lives.
This conversation is layered—with grief, with grit, and with grace. Kiki reminds us that the body remembers, but so does the soul. And sometimes healing looks like laying in bed for years. Other times, it looks like choosing life again, one sting, one breath, one prayer at a time.
This episode is for anyone who has lost themselves in illness. It’s for those learning to trust their inner knowing again. And it’s for every soul who’s ever wondered if the light will return. It does. It always does.
With love, Dawn
