The Woman
Behind the Work
Gem Soul Healing grew from my own relationship with Reiki, herbalism, and the practices that have supported me through different seasons of my life.
My path into this work began with Reiki in 2019 and has continued to deepen through years of practice, study, and my training in Spiritual Herbalism. Along the way, I’ve come to understand that support doesn’t have to look one particular way — and that sometimes what we need most is space to slow down, listen, and reconnect with ourselves.
I’m Kamil Donaldson, founder of Gem Soul Healing. My work brings together Reiki, Spiritual Herbalism, and sound to create thoughtful spaces where women can receive support while remaining active participants in their own process.
Peace & Light,
I’m Kamil—a Usui Reiki Master, Sound Healer, and Spiritual Herbalist, now rooted in the DMV area, originally from New York City. My path in energy work began through personal need and deep transition. I was introduced to Reiki in 2017 by a close friend during a season when things felt uncertain, but I wasn’t quite ready to receive it. Two years later, life opened a doorway. I returned to that offering and booked my first session. It changed everything.
Reiki didn’t just ease what I was holding—it helped me remember who I was. What began as a personal healing turned into a deep alignment with purpose.
I trained under Michelle Kennedy and Racquel Borromeo, Usui Reiki Master Practitioners, and completed my studies in spiritual herbalism through the apprenticeship program at Sacred Vibes Apothecary, founded by Master Herbalist Empress Karen Rose. This experience deepened my connection to plant medicine and helped root my practice in both ancestral and energetic traditions.
Gem Soul Healing was created from that journey—a way to offer what I once needed: space to release, remember, and reconnect. Through Reiki, sound, and plant medicine, I hold space for those moving through grief, transformation, burnout, or the quiet ache of not feeling like themselves.
My intention is simple: to offer support that is real, usable, and sacred. This work includes education, not just ceremony—practices you can carry into your life as it continues to shift and unfold.
Whether you're seeking deep rest, reconnection, or energetic clarity, I’m honored to walk with you.
What I Believe
It is about returning.
Returning to your body. To your own knowing. To the version of yourself that existed before you were carrying so much.
Healing is less about fixing what is wrong and more about coming back to what is already in you. I'm here to hold that space — through Reiki, plant medicine, and sound. The work itself belongs to you.
Support looks different in different seasons. I'm here for whatever this one is asking of you.
