Our guiding principles
At Healing Homes & Hearts, we are guided by a profound purpose: to empower individuals and humanity to embark on their journey towards authenticity, joy, and love. Our mission is to create inclusive spaces where everyone can experience the transformative power of love—a love that originates from within ourselves. Our vision is to proliferate the healing essence of Reiki and other wellness practices, illuminating paths of light and love for all. In a world where love is paramount, we believe it is the ultimate solution.
​
Our Approach:
We invite you to contemplate: What light do you carry within? What replenishes your light so you can contribute to the world? For Mandy, the answer was Reiki. Through its protective and healing capabilities, she has embraced her calling as an energy healer and teacher.
​
About Reiki:
Reiki, a conduit to the life force flowing through all living beings, offers profound healing. Expect to achieve emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual equilibrium after a Reiki session. Mandy Carter, a Reiki Master Teacher and practitioner of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique® (QHHT®), stands ready to guide you on your healing journey.
​
Your Healing Journey with Mandy:
Mandy approaches each session with compassionate attentiveness to your healing goals. She serves as a supportive companion, guiding you through the process and facilitating an energetic reset to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.
Rev. Mandy Carter
Reiki Master Teacher
QHHT® Practitioner
Within Mandy resides an innate gift for healing, deeply rooted in her authentic self. However, this journey of healing wasn't without its challenges, as she navigated layers of generational trauma. Yet, through daily self-reflection and spiritual practice, Reiki emerged as her steadfast guide, protector, and conduit to the divine.
​
Early on, Mandy found herself absorbing the energies and emotions of others, a struggle compounded by the responsibilities of young motherhood. However, her children became not only her purpose but also her salvation, guiding her through the trials of life in rural SE Ohio, where she balanced her roles as a business owner and real estate agent for nearly two decades.
​
It wasn't until her thirties that Mandy experienced a series of awakenings, propelling her towards a deeper understanding of her role as a healer. Recognizing humans as energetic beings on a human journey, she embarked on a path aligned with her soul's calling. After the passing of her father, Mandy's journey led her to QHHT® and, intuitively, to Reiki—a pivotal moment that affirmed her need for Reiki's protective embrace as she delved deeper into her inner healer.
​
The transformative power of Reiki became undeniable after experiencing distant sessions, prompting Mandy to pursue formal training. Her dedication to Reiki blossomed as she advanced to become a Usui/Holy Fire® World Peace Reiki Master Teacher, expanding her expertise to include Kid Reiki™ and ICRT Animal Reiki.
​
As an educator and Alliance of Divine Love Minister, Rev. Mandy shares her passion for self-love and protection through Reiki, instilling its principles and practices within families. She emphasizes collaboration in the healing journey, where Reiki acts as the conduit for spiritual guidance and healing on all levels.
​
Today, Mandy resides in Springfield with her wife, Amanda, and their four fur babies. Together, they embrace their journey with love and gratitude, culminating in the realization of their dream—Healing Homes & Hearts' new space in Historic Downtown Springfield. This space serves as a sanctuary for holistic wellness, offering space for classes, sessions, collaborative opportunities, and a supportive community for those awakening to their inner light. Their shared vision is a beacon of hope for all seeking connection, healing, and authenticity.

"I have taken a total of 6 Usui and Usui/Holy Fire Reiki courses. I wanted to update my practice using Usui/Holy Fire III Reiki. This instructor was by far the best I have encountered. She not only covered the course requirements but also allowed expanded discussion on topics and in-class practice relevant to each of our individual practices. I would highly recommend this instructor to anyone seeking to become a skillful, effective Reiki practitioner."

"Amazing QHHT session!!! As my body was physically releasing deep seated shame and guilt, Amanda was able to utilize her superb Reiki skills to assist my body as we were going through the healing process. She is a very intuitive Healer. I feel lighter and freer... even others have noticed the difference. I am 61yrs old and have struggled for years with pain in my back and neck. The stiffness in my back is gone and my spine and movements are much more fluid. Not enough "Thank You's" in the world for the relief I am experiencing. I would highly recommend!"
