Episode #220 Cami Hoang What If Presence Is The Real Success
You can chase the next goal for years and still feel like something is missing, and sometimes the missing piece is not more effort. It is presence. Tracy Searight sits down with Reiki master practitioner Cami Hoang to talk about slowing down in a way that actually works in real life, especially when you are parenting, recovering from burnout, or carrying stress in your body without even noticing it. Cami shares her path as a French-born Canadian of Vietnamese heritage, and how that multicultural lens shapes the way she understands energy healing, intuition, and care. Her turning point comes with motherhood during COVID lockdown, when a tiny “breadcrumb” moment leads her to explore Reiki, Laho Chi, and eventually a deeper practice rooted in calm, connection, and curiosity. We also unpack a big misconception people have about Reiki sessions: if you do not feel dramatic sensations, it must not be working. Cami explains why Reiki can be subtle, why the benefits often show up later, and what real change can look like: deeper sleep, a quieter mind, a kinder reaction, and more patience in the moments that usually trigger you. We get practical about discernment too, including what to look for in a Reiki practitioner or Reiki master teacher, how to research ethically, and why no one belongs on a pedestal. Cami also talks about distance Reiki, why receiving Reiki online can feel surprisingly comforting, and how she is blending Reiki with face yoga to help clients reconnect with their bodies gently. If you have been searching for Reiki for stress relief, mindfulness for moms, or simple tools to slow down, this conversation will meet you where you are. Cami Hoang is a French-born Canadian of Vietnamese heritage, a mother, and a Reiki Master Practitioner. Her work is guided by a simple yet profound belief: that cultivating a little more calm, presence, and connection can make a meaningful difference in everyday life. After several years in the corporate world, motherhood became a turning point that led her to slow down, reconnect with herself, and rediscover the beauty of ordinary moments. Reiki became a natural companion on that journey, not by removing life's challenges, but by offering a different way of meeting them. Cami believes that meaningful change doesn't always happen through big, life-changing moments. Sometimes, it begins with a deeper breath, a quieter mind, or simply taking the time to be fully present. When she's not sharing Reiki, you'll often find her searching for four-leaf clovers, experimenting in the kitchen, discovering new foods, or creating children's stories inspired by mindfulness, kindness, and wonder. She believes that some of life's greatest treasures are often hidden in the moments we slow down enough to notice.
