that is sitting in the middle of a circle and I am gathering around a group of people and we are all putting in our energies, and our lives and creativities, into this ball of light.”
I could feel her joyful pride as she said, “It’s such an adventure."
Around the time Reba was in her late teens or early twenties, it became clear that she was a spiritual seeker. She was drawn to the teachings of various gurus and yogis. She studied under the guidance of a mentor who introduced her to many concepts and encouraged her to explore her heart’s desire.
“At some point, the student has to stop being the student and say I’m going to share what I know now. Take what I learned from someone else and integrate it into what I am. I could be saying the same thing, but it has to be my own. This has been a transition for me. Going from head to heart. From being something to knowing something. From talking the talk to walking the walk.” Reba reflected on her experiences of transformation when we spoke - acknowledging the gift and complement of owning a successful dance studio combined with her knowledge gained within her life coach practice, realizing that everything has been leading up to the creation of her new virtual healing space. “What I’m interested in working on is spiritual freedom. I think creative types, like myself, get very enamored of all the beautiful things we are going
to create. We’re going to do this. We’re going to do that. We’ll host parties. We’re going to have classes. It’s all going to be wonderful. Sometimes we are so caught up the in the thing we are going to create, which is wonderful, that we forget to say okay, well ... it’s like I’m going to set all these plates spinning but we forget who’s got to be down below keeping all those plates spinning. If we don’t plan that,
and don’t paint ourselves into the picture then we end up, by default, being the person who is frantic, below trying to keep all the plates spinning in the air.”
Fascinated with the divine feminine, Reba started interviewing experts. It was one of the ways she fulfilled her desire to gain wisdom and explore the meaning of life. She started Paint Yourself into the Picture, a YouTube show, approximately a year ago. Reba’s focus, and tagline, is Healing conversations to help you create the most amazing picture of your life. During the interviews, many spoke of physical ailments, mainly female reproductive issues, hormonal imbalances, and from there, a whole new series called Healing Outside the Box was born. “It’s like one thing leads to the next.” She witnessed individuals offering great healing modalities that led to the SHE-Roes & Pathfinders series. “It’s about women who find audacious solutions to existing problems.” Reba also has a series on manifesting, as well as a series called Tea with Reba in which she reads her writings to her audience.
Reba’s virtual center will offer various events online. Members will have access to the healers’ products, services, and sessions. Individuals from all over the world will be able to explore the available options and find what resonates with them. This healing space will introduce new concepts to ‘seekers’.
AtoZ Healing Space has three portals - Circle Space, Sanctuary, and the Academy.
