Tiffanie Walker shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Tiffanie, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned about your customers?
One of the most surprising and beautiful things I have learned is how many of my clients come to Grounding Art Therapy, LLC. as complete first timer. These beautiful souls have never experienced a sound bath, Reiki session, or tea ceremony before. What amazes me is how open they are to trying something new, even if it is outside of their usual comfort zone. Many of those very first timers end up becoming some of my most dedicated repeat clients. It is such a gift to witness people discovering these practices for the first time and then choosing to make them a regular part of their wellness journey.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My journey into holistic healing began in 2011 after I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. At the time, I was experiencing chronic inflammation, headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, and strong workplace anxiety. Each doctor visit seemed to bring another diagnosis including blood clots, nodules, an enlarged spleen, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and more. It was overwhelming. I had always been drawn to natural remedies, even as a child, and while modern medicine played its part, I found myself returning to the practices that made me feel whole such as earth based healing, herbs, nutrition, and energy work.
That path eventually led me to study with Professor Melissa Crowhurst where I became an Usui Reiki Master Teacher & Energy Healer. I am also pursuing certification in Feng Shui, deepening my understanding of how energy flows not only within us but also within our homes and spaces. Along the way, I realized that being an empath is one of my gifts because I can feel the pain people carry, and through Reiki, sound healing, and other practices, I help them release it. It was both liberating and affirming to put my learning into practice and see others experience the same kind of relief I had been searching for myself.
This is how Grounding Art Therapy, LLC was born, a safe space for holistic healing where people and their spaces can be restored into balance. My brand is built on four pillars: private Reiki sessions, group sound baths, tea ceremonies, and home energy and Feng Shui consultations. What makes my work different is that I do not separate myself from my clients. I share my own vulnerabilities and healing journey, which allows me to connect with people heart to heart. I like to say I work through my heart chakra, using compassion and openness as my foundation.
Clients often tell me they choose Grounding Art because they feel safe, seen, and understood. I am not just a practitioner. I am living proof that healing is possible. I like to remind people that they are beautiful inside and out, and that when we allow ourselves to connect with the earth’s vibrations through sound, energy, herbs, or mindful practices the body and spirit begin to heal in powerful ways.
I am especially excited to be expanding my services in Magnolia, TX, with a new location opening this fall. To celebrate, we are hosting free monthly sound baths through the end of the year as a way of expressing gratitude to our community and clients. Sound baths are one of my favorite practices because the vibrations from instruments like crystal bowls, gongs, and chimes allow the body to enter deep relaxation, helping people release stress and restore balance. Reiki is also transformative. It is a gentle yet powerful energy practice that encourages natural healing, eases emotional and physical stress, and restores peace within the body.
What I love most about this work is being able to help others the same way I once had to help myself. Every time I see someone walk away lighter, calmer, and more hopeful, it reminds me why I chose this path. Grounding Art is not just my business. It is my testimony, my calling, and my way of showing others that healing is always possible.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What’s a moment that really shaped how you see the world?
One of the most eye opening moments for me came during a group sound bath I was leading a few years ago. There was a woman in the room who looked very guarded and unsure when she first arrived. As the vibrations of the crystal bowls began to flow, I could see her entire posture soften. By the end, tears were streaming down her face, and she told me she had not felt that kind of peace in decades. In that moment, I realized how powerful it is when we give ourselves permission to slow down and simply receive.
That experience shaped the way I see the world because it reminded me that so many of us are carrying invisible struggles, and yet healing can begin with something as simple as sound, stillness, or safe connection. It deepened my belief that the work I do through Grounding Art Therapy, LLC is not just about wellness practices, it is about holding space for transformation even in the smallest, quietest moments.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
If I could say one kind thing to my younger self, I would tell her to trust her own resilience and inner wisdom. I would remind her that even when the body feels weak and the world seems overwhelming, healing is always possible in its own time. I would tell her it is okay to feel deeply, to be sensitive, and to embrace her empathic nature, because these gifts will one day guide her to help others. Most importantly, I would reassure her that she is not alone and that her journey, all the struggles and the discoveries, will lead her to a place of balance, peace, and purpose.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
One of the biggest lies the wellness industry tells itself is that healing is quick, linear, or one-size-fits-all. There is often an expectation that a single session, a supplement, or a trendy practice will solve everything instantly. In reality, true wellness is a journey that involves patience, self-awareness, and consistent care for both body and mind. Another misconception is that holistic practices like Reiki, sound baths, and Feng Shui are “just for relaxation” or only a luxury. The truth is they are powerful tools for transformation, helping people release stress, restore balance, and connect with their own energy and the energy of their environment.
At Grounding Art Therapy, LLC, I approach healing with honesty and openness. I show clients that their path is unique, that small, consistent practices add up to profound changes, and that real wellness is about empowering the whole person, not just ticking boxes.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I am fully present in the moment, whether I am guiding a sound bath, holding a Reiki session, or simply meditating in nature. There is a deep stillness that comes from connecting with the vibrations of the earth, the energy of the space around me, and the quiet rhythm of my own breath. Those moments remind me that healing and balance are always available when we slow down, listen, and allow ourselves to simply be.
