About Dot

I'm Dot Earley, a Reiki Level II practitioner. I received my first reiki training and attunements in 2025 and deepened my Level II training in 2026. Since then, reiki has become a daily part of my own practice and way of caring for myself.

Much of what I bring to this work comes from the earth. I come from a long line of gardeners, and like my sisters, my mother and grandmother, I spend as much time as I can with my hands in the soil, tending plants through the seasons. I'm also learning the old ways of herbs and healing plants. The garden has taught me that every living thing has its own rhythm, with seasons for rest as well as growth, and I bring that patience into every session.

Guided meditation has been part of my work for many years. I've led countless centering practices, meditations, and visualizations for individuals and groups, and I bring that experience into each personalized meditation, shaped around what you'd like to focus on.

I've also spent more than 20 years working alongside youth and families, and I've sat with both parents and adult children on each side of painful disconnection. That experience shapes my parent coaching, where I help parents stay steady, reflect honestly, and find their way back toward connection.

I've always had a natural ability to help others feel calmer and more settled. I believe we are all connected through Divine Energy, and I see my role in reiki as a channel for it, like a hollow reed that lets water flow through without holding on. My intention is to offer a quiet, grounded space where you can rest and reconnect with yourself.

I am also a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and Connecticut. My therapy practice, Mindful Balance Counseling, is separate from my work at Hollow Reed. Reiki, meditation, and coaching sessions are not psychotherapy.
