About Rhonda Kuykendall-Jabari

About Rhonda

I am Rhonda Kuykendall‑Jabari—Reiki Master Teacher, spiritual healer, author, and ritualist—here to help people remember their power, restore their energy, and return to themselves.

My work lives at the crossroads of ancient wisdom and modern life. I blend Reiki, chakra healing, breathwork, ancestral practices, and everyday ritual into grounded, accessible pathways for healing—especially for those who have spent a lifetime holding everyone else together.

A Life Rooted in Healing

I have been consciously working with energy for more than four decades and teaching Reiki professionally for over 25 years. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Spiritual Healing and am the founder of Wellness Uprising, a holistic practice devoted to energetic balance, nervous‑system restoration, and soulful self‑care.

My healing philosophy was shaped early—by intuition that spoke loudly, by elders who practiced without naming it, and by lived experience navigating chronic illness, burnout, grief, and profound transformation. Healing was never theoretical for me. It was necessary.

What I Do (and How I Do It Differently)

I specialize in:

  • Reiki sessions and Reiki I & II certification

  • Chakra balancing and energy alignment

  • Ritual‑based healing practices

  • Guided meditation, breathwork, and spiritual baths

  • Tarot and intuitive insight

  • Community healing circles and workshops

My approach is practical mysticism.

I don’t believe healing should feel intimidating, inaccessible, or disconnected from real life. I teach people how to work with energy in their kitchens, their bathtubs, their bedrooms, and their breath—without dogma, fear, or perfectionism.

Author & Teacher

I am the author of multiple books on Reiki, ritual, and spiritual self‑care, including:

  • Reiki Rx: Ritual Remedies for Physical Healing & Energetic Balance

  • 66 Days of Remote Reiki for Personal Transformation

  • The New Reiki Unveiled: A Comprehensive Guide to Modern Healing

  • FAFO: The Black Woman’s Guide to Chakra Health

  • Burn & Brew Rituals (Llewellyn, forthcoming)

My writing is devotional, instructional, and deeply human—created for readers who want spirituality that works, not spirituality that performs.

Community & Calling

I am known for creating warm, intimate healing spaces—both online and in person—through offerings like:

  • 66 Days of Remote Reiki

  • Sunset Sessions at the Spirit Salon

  • Meditations & Moonbeams

  • Third Thursdays community Reiki circles

My work is rooted in cultural memory, ancestral reverence, and radical self‑compassion. I speak openly about rest as resistance, boundaries as medicine, and pleasure as a spiritual practice.

What Guides Me

I am guided by intuition, integrity, and the belief that healing unfolds when we feel safe enough to be honest.

I do not promise instant enlightenment.
I do not bypass pain.
I do not separate spirituality from the body.

I walk with people as they soften, shed, remember, and rise—at their own pace.

If You’re Here

You may be tired.
You may be curious.
You may be healing quietly.

You are welcome here.

Whether you come for a Reiki session, a ritual, a class, a book, or a moment of resonance—know this:

Healing is not something you earn.
It is something you allow.

And you do not have to walk this path alone.

—Rhonda
