ABOUT GREG

Greg Payne, BS, CLC

I am a Certified Life Coach, Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Breathwork Facilitator, Certified Brainspotting Practitioner, and have additional training in trauma healing. I am also an energy medicine practitioner combining ancient and modern healing techniques to cultivate deep healing within the mind, body, and spirit.

My practice is individualized for each client and rooted in maintaining a grounded and compassionate presence, allowing space for profound personal transformation. I believe that by staying grounded in the present, we can create lasting changes deep within our minds and physical bodies. I gently guide my clients to stay present with challenging thoughts and feelings that may arise for them

Through the gradual pursuit of my own healing and the perfect alchemy for a balanced and fulfilling life, I have been faced with challenges that have tested me to my core - as a son, a husband, a friend, a brother, an athlete, and a professional.

My life’s most difficult struggles have revolved around self-expression and the strength and clarity of my speaking voice. I suffered a series of traumas in the formative years of my early childhood that left me dissociated, anxious-avoidant, and exceedingly private until well into my thirties. My early life was stable, but I only discovered my authentic voice by experiencing hardship and then actively pursuing healing and self-understanding to fill in the gaps. I remain a work in progress, but I’ve learned to connect with my authenticity and to speak in alignment with my true self.

My journey into the world of healing stems from a long-term commitment to enhance the quality of life of those around me, and my natural desire to explore the potential of the human spirit. 

My work is a coalescence of proven healing and coaching methodologies, intuition, spiritual study, and neuroscience-backed techniques such as Brainspotting that can help rewire the nervous system and patterns in the deep brain with compassion and understanding.

Together, I hope to help you craft a vision for your future, develop a roadmap to get there, explore your life with curiosity, and apply a blend of modalities to elevate your path.

PHILOSOPHY

I have over a decade of experience as a Reiki master and energy worker. I have avidly pursued psychological healing for my own life, and I use the invaluable lessons I’ve come across to convey wisdom and healing to others. I have studied and worked with family systems, attachment styles, parts work, inner child work, and psychedelic healing with entheogenic medicines and ketamine.

I fully believe in our capacity to heal as individuals and as a united community. I believe that we retain a deeply embedded blueprint for the perfect health of our bodies and emotions, and I offer services that tap into this rich trove of inner healing wisdom and bring us back into alignment with our innate blueprint. We live in a time when everyone on the planet has experienced significant suffering, oppression, trauma, and loss, and a time when we are awakening to the possibilities and true capacities within us for love, grace, and healing.

I am a trauma-informed healer and I come from a background in behavioral health focusing on ketamine therapy to foster mental and emotional healing. My journey has led me to work extensively with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and long-standing traumas.

As a Reiki master teacher in the Usui lineage for 13 years, I have also received additional Reiki training in the Templar Degree lineage and the Tibetan master empowerments, Dai Ko Mio and Raku. Reiki is a beautiful way to nurture your body's natural ability to heal itself. This revitalizing energy can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall well-being. I have studied Reiki expansively, and I have used it to heal myself and help others do the same for more than a decade.

Outside of my professional practice, I am passionate about health and fitness. I exercise for physical and emotional wellness multiple times per week by running, lifting weights, or hiking in nature.

I am a world traveler at heart, and I have a passion for exploring the beauty of nature whenever my schedule allows. My favorite trips to date have been to the lush rainforests and rich oceans of Costa Rica, historical Italy, and the vast mountainous landscape surrounding Denali, Alaska.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and pets in our beautiful forested home in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

I look forward to working with you and embarking on a journey of healing and self-discovery together. My mission is to champion your healing and wholeness to create a ripple effect that reaches the entire human race.

I invite you to explore one or more of my offerings that resonate with you. Whether you select a single modality like Reiki, Brainspotting, coaching, or breathwork, or embark on a combined approach, I will c0-create a safe and nurturing environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your vulnerabilities and embracing your strengths.
