I’m Annmarie Fisher
Since childhood, I have experienced vivid and sometimes prophetic dreams that would eventually shape and influence my life. I have always had an awareness of the energy around me that has increased in recent years. People closest to me have always told me I have a sense of knowing. When a pedophile found his way into my family when I was just five years old, it started what turned into many years of childhood abuse and trauma which stifled many of my gifts and caused others to manifest more negatively. As the years went by, more monsters showed up in my childhood. I eventually became withdrawn, and very angry. Not understanding why I was born into a world just to be abused and mistreated, and not feeling worthy of being loved and protected… the sweet, sad girl who just wanted to be seen and be loved was gone.
When I left home for college in the early 90s, no longer dealing with daily fight-or-flight, I became deeply depressed and used overachieving as a coping mechanism. Once I graduated, I had nothing left to hide behind and was forced to face my trauma. Waking up each day became too much, so I decided to end my life. I didn’t want to die, but I also did not know how to go on living with what I felt. As I approached the garage to start the car and seal myself in, I heard my cat cry. I froze. Who would take care of her? I couldn’t abandon her. I knew what it felt like to feel abandoned, and I couldn’t do that to anyone I loved. I also couldn’t continue living the same way, so I vowed that by the next day, something would begin to change. I cried until I fell asleep. From that point on, I began engaging in life more. Thankfully, I had a wonderful group of friends. I went through life doing all of the things I was “supposed to” do, learning how to “fit in” and such. It sort of worked for a little while, but for all of those years, I still felt like something was missing.
Fast forward to 2014, when I experienced a Dark Night of the Soul after the sudden end of the first healthy loving romantic relationship I’d ever experienced. Although I didn’t realize it at the time, it would be the beginning of a wonderful period of personal and spiritual growth and transformation. After many years of extensive reading, energy work, trials, research, and study in my search for meaning and the ultimate Truth, and with the help of a wonderful therapist, other practitioners, teachers, mentors, and friends, I began to peel away the layers of trauma and PTSD from my childhood experiences. I lovingly grew my little girl up who was so full of hurt and rage. I re-developed my gifts, opened myself back up to prophetic dreams, raised my overall vibrational energy, and found my light and myself! This has not only helped me to better understand myself and what this human journey is all about but also better connect with and understand my purpose and the people around me. Devoting myself to my Reiki practice has truly opened my eyes and affirmed the reason I AM on Earth at this time; to be a beacon, help people heal and remove emotional energy blocks, live intentionally, find serenity, peace, truth, acceptance, and self-love. Reiki helped me see that the light at the end of the tunnel is me!
My Reiki journey began as a tool in my post-trauma self-healing kit. As I continued to learn and grow into my gift, I realized how much I loved the practice and wanted to share it. In 2019, I went on to earn my Master and Teacher-level certification, and I am now a member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals. Since receiving my Master level certification, I have been practicing Reiki with both in-person and remote clientele, and I now provide distance Reiki sessions each Friday. Being an introvert and an HSP (highly sensitive person) I understand that it can be draining to go out for regular energy work, so I wanted to create a space where Reiki could be very accessible to anyone who prefers to have regular and easy access to energy work that can be received in your home or whatever safe space you choose, and for anyone who may not have access or ability to get to a practitioner. I welcome you to join us (affectionately called my Light Collective!) from the comfort and safety of your homes as I help you balance your chakras, release lower vibrational energies, and usher in positive energy to create a more peaceful environment, live your life to your highest and best, and be intentional in doing so. I hope to help you see that the light you seek is within you…that it IS you.
The Light Revolution is the result of my healing journey. To honor those whose shoes I know all too well, and to help those who work every day to help others like me face and overcome their traumas, I have partnered with Safe Alliance and am donating a portion of proceeds from every Reiki session and Ritual sale.

About Ritual
The idea of Ritual came to me when I was looking for a way to keep my energy and the energy of my home on a high vibrational level. I wanted something I could use regularly that was not as involved as a full clearing ceremony. I combined my love of Palo Santo wood for clearing and essential oils for aromatherapy and began researching Palo Santo essential oil and complimentary oils. That research guided me to Frankincense, and with the help of a local formulationist (and dear friend), Ritual was born.
I use Ritual in oil burners, diffusers, and my lava bead bracelet, or I simply light a candle. I also diffuse it at night for bedtime, and I love that it promotes relaxation, and only allows in high vibrational energy. The aroma is like a warm embrace. I hope it helps you vibe high, and that you enjoy using it as much as I love sharing it with you.
Here’s to safe and sacred spaces!
From my heart,
Annmarie
