My feature in Bold Journey!

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Claudia Borges. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Claudia, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

In mid-2016, a work-related stress–induced nervous breakdown led me to take a 90-day medical leave and finally confront what wasn’t working in my life.

During that time, I began practicing Reiki — a long-held personal interest — and experienced profound physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. One pivotal moment came when I received a spiritual message: “You have a gift. Look for it. From now on, you will start helping others.” Though I was skeptical at first, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my purpose was shifting in a meaningful way.

I realized I no longer wanted to return to the corporate world, which had become a constant source of stress. Instead, I felt called to dedicate my life to something that aligned with my values, supported others, and brought me deep fulfillment. Starting my own energy healing practice felt both terrifying and exhilarating. I had no prior business experience, but I chose to trust the path unfolding before me — and it changed my life.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

My Journey & My Work

My journey into energy healing began in 2016 after a work-related burnout pushed me to reevaluate my life. Reiki, which started as a personal interest, became a catalyst for deep healing and revealed intuitive gifts like mediumship and clairvoyance that I once feared. Leaving my corporate career in marketing and event management, I stepped into my true calling: helping others heal and awaken spiritually.

What Makes My Practice Unique

Since then, I’ve conducted over 1,500 energy healing sessions and received more than 100 five stars heartfelt testimonials. My practice in Thousand Oaks, CA, offers Reiki, Theta Healing, Family Constellation, and other spiritual modalities in a deeply personal way — with every client and student receiving individual attention. I teach Reiki in small, intimate groups to ensure each student’s journey is meaningful and transformative.

Why I Love What I Do

The most rewarding part of my work is witnessing transformation — seeing clients arrive feeling heavy or hopeless and leave lighter, smiling, and renewed. I believe that when you work with love and purpose, people feel it. My mission is to guide others toward healing, connection with the divine, and discovering their own purpose.

Looking Ahead

I continue to host monthly classes, soul-awakening workshops, and community healing events, as well as my podcast Beyond Energy Healing, sharing real stories of transformation to inspire others.
