Jess Smith

Jess Smith is a Certified Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui System of Natural Healing and the founder of Peaceful Nurtured Wellness (PNW) Reiki, based in Vancouver, Washington. Jess's path to Reiki was deeply personal. After years of navigating high-functioning anxiety, a demanding career, and the challenges that come with being a full-time working mother, she discovered Reiki in her early forties, and it changed everything. What began as a healing practice quickly became a way of life, and it is now her heartfelt mission to share that with others. Rooted in a rich family lineage spanning both Western and Eastern Usui Shiki Ryoho traditions, Jess was certified at Level I by her mother (herself a Reiki Master Teacher since 1993) and completed her Master Teacher certification in 2024. Her lineage carries teachings from multiple lines of the Usui Shiki Ryoho, offering a holistic and deeply grounded approach to Reiki healing. Her work on Insight Timer is an extension of what she does every day at PNW Reiki — making Reiki accessible, practical, and deeply personal. Whether you are brand new to Reiki or a seasoned practitioner, Jess's meditations and courses are created to meet you exactly where you are and guide you gently toward greater peace, happiness, and health. Jess believes that Reiki is not just something you do — it is something you live. And she would love to help you live it.
