Today we’d like to introduce you to Chrissy Hefner.
Hi Chrissy, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I was born on the Southside of Chicago, raised Irish Catholic. As a young child, I was always very aware of the energy around me. I was a very quiet, creative, intuitive only child, who had experienced some paranormal events. I was nicknamed “Spirit” by my friends as a child, bc I used to leave out offerings under the moonlight for Mother Nature, yet, I did not know why. I would see things (visions), and still do. I always had a fascination with spirituality, nature, the metaphysical, astrology, tarot, and music. My friends growing up would always tell me I was “psychic”.
Fast forward a decade or two later …& I ended up with a Degree in Psychology, with a minor in Sociology and a Master’s degree in Social Work. I worked in Adoption/Foster Care with the State of Illinois for a few years, then ended up at an Alternative High School as a School Social Worker. At this point in time, my soul had been drained, I continued to give, give and give …I knew I needed a change, but didn’t know what. During my time as a school social worker (2013), I was introduced to yoga and reiki for the 1st time by my coworkers. I was immediately obsessed. In 2014, my Dad had suddenly passed…this lead to a catalyst of change for me. I ended up visiting San Diego on my Spring Break that year & fell in LOVE. Within a year, I ended up moving here. My family then decided to give me a nickname upon my departure from Chicago, and now call me “Moon Unit”.
Along my SD journey, I met new friends who were into wellness, spiritually and healing, which lead me to get certified in Reiki II as a practitioner. I continued with yoga classes & fell in love with sound healing. I have grown not only myself but so has my passion = Wellness & the Healing Arts. I have a FT job (I work downtown & am now in the corporate field) but continue to expand and practice my passion on the side = Prophecy of Prana. Prana is breath, life force energy … & it was also my Grandmother’s name, who was an immigrant from Europe. She did not speak much English, but we were able to communicate thru our eyes (telepathically) & smiles. She is one of my inspirations on this journey.
During this journey, I have also removed alcohol from my life and am almost 4yrs sober. I came to realize how much it did not align with my passion, or the person I knew I wanted to be. In the end, I want to help heal, inspire and assist people on their life journey’s, as I know we all need a little help these days. GOD BLESS.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Life has definitely not been a smooth road, as I experienced numerous amounts of loss and grief as a young child and also the divorce of my parents. Life throws you many ups and downs. People pass away, schools change, jobs change, friends change and/or move away, relationships fail, however having grown up with faith and a very strong support system of family and friends, you just remember to breathe, take it day by day, & know you are being guided, as we are never truly alone. Always follow your intuition, the GPS of the soul.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Prophecy of Prana is my passion project. I provide one on one reiki healing services to not only humans, but some animals too. This service may include crystal healing, oracle/tarot readings, sound healing, intuitive messages, and/or aromatherapy.
I am most proud of this, as it was organically created and I continue to grow and learn/evolve each day. When I do provide sessions to others, I usually get amazing feedback which is usually aligned to their current situation and/or journey & they usually thank me for bringing some clarity into their life. Sometimes people just need to be heard, & take an hour or two for themselves out of their day to relax, heal, & JUST BE.
I think what sets me apart form others is my Psychology/Social Work background. I try to encompass compassion, empathy and life lessons/truths into my practice.
What do you like and dislike about the city?
From the moment I first visited San Diego I was memorized with it. Having the ocean, the cliffs, the mountains, & the desert so close is magical. Most people here are pretty care free and want to live a simple, sweet, & healthy life.
My least favorite thing currently about this city, is the driving/traffic, lack of ample parking ….the city keeps adding more homes and apartments (& the rent is cray) … I hope we don’t turn into a mini “LA”, where the city becomes too overcrowded, over ran with more homeless or becomes too superficial.
