ADHD Brains Need Different Tools — Reiki & Nervous System Regulation | Janette Goodwin
Description
Janette Goodwin is a Reiki master teacher, medium, and Akashic record reader who works at the intersection of energy healing and neurodivergence. She specializes in helping people with ADHD and busy minds regulate their nervous system through practical Reiki and meditation tools designed for brains that don’t always respond well to traditional wellness approaches.
Through her work, she helps people better understand themselves, reconnect with their inner world, and approach healing in a way that feels accessible, grounded, and real.
In this practical and validating conversation, Janette shares:
• Growing up in survival mode where emotions had to wait
• Being a quiet, reserved child who processed the world differently
• Why traditional wellness (yoga, standard meditation) often fails ADHD brains
• How she realized neurodivergent minds need their own set of rules
• Why “just clear your mind” doesn’t work for many people
• Simple, brain-friendly tools for nervous system regulation
• What Reiki actually is (and how she explains it to skeptics)
If you’re in your 20s with a busy or ADHD mind who’s tried traditional wellness and felt like a failure, this episode offers tools that actually work with your wiring.
