Author · Reiki Master Teacher · Akashic Records Practitioner
Meet Sue Crielaard
I follow the stories beneath the surface—and the small, ordinary moments that make life feel alive again.
I’m an author, Reiki Master Teacher, Akashic Records practitioner, and the creator of Akashic Reiki. My work brings together a lifetime of supporting people, a deep love of story, and a belief that spiritual insight belongs in everyday life.
The path that brought me here
A life spent listening for what helps people find their way.
For decades, I’ve worked in community and non-profit settings, supporting people and families through housing changes, disability services, trauma, mental-health challenges, and major life transitions. That experience continues to shape the way I work: with respect for each person’s story, pace, strengths, and choices.
My own spiritual path began with Reiki in 1998. Over time, it led me into the Akashic Records, Crow Medicine, and the creation of Akashic Reiki—a practice that brings Reiki and Akashic wisdom together.

- Usui, Karuna, and Lightarian Reiki Master Teacher
- Akashic Records practitioner

Books, essays + stories
Writing is one of the ways I make sense of the world.
I write about healing, Crow Medicine, intuition, family, changing seasons, and the everyday moments that invite us back into our own lives. On Medium, I follow the questions that keep tapping at the window: who we are becoming, what we inherit, and how we find our way home to ourselves.
My books
From Crow Medicine to my new book, Go Outside Until the World Starts Talking Again, I write for readers who like spiritual curiosity grounded in real life.
On Medium
Essays on ancestral connection, changing timelines, spiritual growth, and the small ways we notice life speaking to us.
Fiction as Seren Crowe
I also write cozy supernatural mysteries about the curious things that happen just beyond the everyday.

Vital Village
A gentle place to land, learn, and explore.
Vital Village is where my writing and spiritual work meet. Through Akashic Reiki, Reiki treatments, Records readings, classes, and gatherings, I create space for people to explore what matters to them and find practices that feel supportive in their everyday lives.
My work often explores the movement from 3D survival into a more heart-led way of living. For me, that language is a map for noticing how we’re changing, reclaiming our own choices, and bringing spiritual insight into ordinary life.
Live and let live, just tidy up afterwards.
