Who is Amber Soberon? What is your professional story and background?
I’m Amber Soberón, the heart and soul behind Olé Santé Holistic Arts. My studio is all about creating a sacred space where you can truly connect with yourself and tap into the powerful energy within. From the moment you step inside, you’ll feel the warmth and intention I’ve poured into every detail, all designed to lift your spirit and nurture your well-being.
Originally from New Mexico and now calling Austin, Texas home, I’ve always been drawn to holistic practices and the healing power of Reiki. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in kinesiology, personal training, yoga, breathwork, and meditation, crafting an approach to wellness that goes beyond the physical. As a Reiki Master/Teacher and Yoga Teacher, I love using my intuition to guide others on their journey to inner strength and vitality.
My passion for holistic arts runs deep, and I’m constantly seeking to expand my knowledge and understanding of our energetic world. With my 200-hour RYT certification in Kundalini Yoga and qualifications as an IFPA Certified Personal Trainer and Reiki Master Practitioner/Teacher, I offer knowledge and inspiration to people. I also love guiding my students to explore the connection between movement, breath, and creativity, empowering them to deepen their practice and leave feeling revitalized, nourished, and balanced.
Can you walk me through a “typical” Reiki session?
As you enter the serene space for your Reiki session, we’ll start by discussing your specific needs and intentions. I incorporate a curated crystal experience, selecting stones guided by intuition to enhance the healing process, and placing them strategically around the room or on your body.
Next, we’ll incorporate aromatherapy, carefully selecting essential oils known for their therapeutic properties to support your intentions and create a calming atmosphere. As you settle into a comfortable position, we’ll begin the curated breathwork meditation, guiding you through deep, intentional breathing exercises to help you relax and center yourself.
Throughout the session, I will gently place my hands on or above various parts of your body, channeling healing energy to where it is needed most, while you continue to focus on your breath and the sensations you’re experiencing.
The combination of the curated crystal experience, aromatherapy, breathwork, and Reiki energy work synergistically to promote balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. As the session comes to a close, you may feel refreshed, renewed, and more in tune with your body and spirit.
You offer Reiki sessions for adults, children, and animals. What are the differences between working with each?
In Reiki sessions, the fundamental principle of channeling universal life force energy remains constant across recipients—adults, children, or animals. The action taken during a session is grounded in the intuitive flow of energy to where it is most needed within the recipient’s being. While the essence of Reiki is consistent, adjustments are made in the approach based on the recipient’s unique characteristics. For animals, this may involve distance work to respect their boundaries, while sessions with children are often shorter, recognizing their shorter attention spans and potentially lighter emotional baggage compared to adults. Despite these nuances, the overarching goal of facilitating healing and balance remains central to each session, ensuring that it resonates optimally with the recipient’s individual journey towards well-being.
What is your Reiki Training like and can anyone become a Reiki Master?
Reiki training is a transformative journey that unfolds across three distinct levels, culminating in the revered Reiki Master Teacher level. Each level builds upon the foundation of the previous one, offering students a deeper understanding of Reiki principles, techniques, and applications.
At the first level, students embark on an exploration of Reiki’s origins, learning its history, philosophy, and basic techniques. They delve into the intricate web of the energy body, unraveling the mysteries of chakras, meridians, and the flow of life force energy.
Advancing to the second level, students deepen their connection to Reiki energy, expanding their toolkit with powerful symbols and techniques. They gain proficiency in distance healing, enabling them to transcend physical boundaries and send healing energy across time and space.
The journey culminates in the third level, where students undergo intensive training to become Reiki Masters. Here, they refine their skills to a level of mastery, unlocking the full potential of Reiki within themselves and others. They learn advanced techniques, such as aura cleansing, and acquire the ability to attune others to the Reiki energy, empowering them to take a deeper dive into their own healing journey.
While the path to becoming a Reiki Master is open to all, it requires dedication, commitment, and a deep reverence for the healing power of Reiki. It is not merely a skill to be learned but a way of life—a journey of self-discovery, healing, and spiritual growth.
You also offer Yoga and fitness services. What can you tell me about that part of your work?
Certainly! I offer private Kundalini Yoga sessions that seamlessly integrate breathwork and meditation, fostering holistic well-being. Additionally, I host monthly sound baths at Shuniya Yoga Collective, providing participants with immersive and therapeutic experiences. While I no longer offer personal training consultations, my practice is enriched by my kinesiology background. I’m available to address questions and concerns regarding not only balancing the energy body but also the physical body, incorporating insights into nutrition and exercise.
Is there anything else about your work that you’d like to share that we haven’t covered?
In serving others and teaching Reiki, I find deep joy. Each soul I support becomes a beacon of kindness, spreading warmth and light. Together, as we nurture love and growth, we create a world where goodness flourishes and humanity thrives.
I graciously lend my time to the Special Olympics of Texas, where she actively engages with the tennis team. My commitment to their cause shines through, and if you’re considering volunteering with them, don’t hesitate to connect with me. We’re always on the lookout for enthusiastic, compassionate individuals to join our teams.
