The Truth About Sex, Energy & Trauma: What They’re Not Telling You | Melissa Lori | Ep. 76

Reiki, Psychedelics & Self-Healing: Melissa Lori's Radical Journey from Playboy Model to Spiritual Guide

In this soul-shaking episode of A Healthy Point of View, host Sam Tejada sits down with Melissa Lori—a Reiki Master, energy healer, and former Playboy model—to uncover a powerful story of transformation, trauma, and healing. 

Melissa opens up about her battles with anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation—and how Reiki, plant medicine, and inner work helped her reclaim her life and purpose. From Groupon Reiki sessions to guiding hundreds through emotional breakthroughs, Melissa’s story is raw, real, and relatable.

You’ll discover:

  • What Reiki really is and how it heals (not "woo-woo"!)
  • The dark side of the wellness industry—fake healers, manipulation & toxic masculinity
  • Her experiences with Ayahuasca, Bufo, Peyote, and Kambo—including near-death moments and radical breakthroughs
  • How sexual energy exchange affects your soul and why casual intimacy may be sabotaging your healing
  • How to protect your energy, detox from toxic relationships, and set boundaries like a true empath

 

Whether you're exploring alternative healing, battling emotional trauma, or just curious about energy work and plant medicine, this is the episode you didn't know you needed.
