Ripples and Reflections
Follow along as I dive deeper into my swimming journey — from the first 10 lengths to chasing new milestones with calm, courage, and joy. Here, I share my personal reflections, mindset shifts, and lessons learned in the water, along with practical tips for everyday swimmers. More than just distance and speed, this is about presence, growth, and finding strength in every stroke.
Explore the gentle yet powerful pathways of healing, energy, and self-discovery. Drawing from my work as a Reiki Master, intuitive healer, and host of the Release, Rebirth, Rise podcast, this space is for meditations, audios, and reflections on overcoming trauma, anxiety, and self-doubt. From manifestation and moon magic to embodied practices of calm and presence, these offerings are here to support you in reconnecting with your body, awakening your intuition, and living a life rooted in joy and ease.
Dive into empowering stories that nurture your soul and inspire your growth. Written and spoken by me, Aley Young — intuitive healer and Reiki Master — these stories are crafted to help you release limiting beliefs, overcome people-pleasing, and cultivate deeper confidence, self-love, and inner peace. Each tale is a seed for healing: calming your mind, awakening your inner strength, and reminding you that you already hold everything you need within.

About this blog
I’m Aley Young, the heart behind Ripples and Reflections — a living journal where swimming, soul, and storytelling meet.
My background as a Reiki Master and intuitive healer infuses everything I share, whether it’s reflections from the pool, empowering Creative Soul stories, or uplifting content on healing, mindset, and self-growth.
🌳 The Creative Soul is a sanctuary within this space — a podcast and story collection that explores life lessons through inspiring tales (often guided by the wisdom of the Weeping Willow). These stories are here to help you move beyond people-pleasing, self-doubt, and limitation, and to embrace your true light with confidence and peace.
🌊 Swim Journey captures my personal return to the water — from shaky first lengths to new milestones of distance, speed, and calm. Here, I share practical tips, mindset shifts, and reflections on the meditative power of swimming.
🌙 Flow + Mindset brings together healing insights, audio teachings from my Release, Rebirth, Rise podcast, and practices to help you reconnect with your body, cultivate presence, and create a life of ease and joy.
At the heart of it all, my work is about nurturing the connection between mind, body, and spirit — and reminding you that you already hold everything you need within.
