My Path Into This Work
Origin & Background
I was born in Kavadarci, Macedonia, with roots in Negotino, and today I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
My background in General and Comparative Literature in Skopje shaped the way I see symbolism, storytelling, human emotion, and the meaning beneath words — something that naturally found its way into the work I do today.
What Led Me Here
My interest in holistic practices and personal growth never came from trends. It began as a genuine personal search.
Since 2009, I’ve spent years exploring different holistic approaches through study, personal experience, and real work with people from many backgrounds and walks of life. Over time, that path grew into the work I share today.
Why I Do This
I’ve seen how much can change when people reconnect with themselves and stop feeling pulled in every direction by their thoughts, body, and emotions.
Inner change is not only something you think about. It is something you begin to feel — and little by little, life starts to feel different.
Just as an artist carefully chooses colors to create a masterpiece, a holistic practitioner chooses each tool, practice, and approach with intention — creating the conditions for deep and meaningful inner change.
Meet Maja — Creator of Somatic Wellness Tools, Certified Reiki Master Teacher, and Founder of Mai Rei
Mai Rei was created by Maja Mitrova S., a holistic wellness practitioner, Certified Reiki Master Teacher, and creator of personalized somatic wellness tools.
Maja is also a co-founding member of Ego~Unitas, a community of practitioners and educators dedicated to personal and spiritual growth.
At Mai Rei, her work brings together distance Reiki, energy work, breathwork, somatic practices, grounding techniques, and personalized wellness resources for people navigating overthinking, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, self-reflection, and the quiet feeling that something inside is asking to change.
A note from Maja
For over a decade, I've been working with people who know something needs to change, even if they don't know where to begin.
My work brings together Reiki, energy work, conscious breathing, and somatic practices — not as separate techniques, but as different paths back to yourself.
At its core, my work is simple: I walk beside you as you reconnect with yourself and what has always been there.
I've always been drawn to the quiet places — the kind of stillness where something you've been carrying for years finally begins to loosen. Where you can hear yourself again, maybe for the first time in a very long time.
That is where Mai Rei was born.
Mai represents the field of the soul. Rei is the universal life force that flows through it.
Together, Mai Rei is a reminder that what you have been searching for is not somewhere outside of you. It is already within you, waiting beneath the noise, waiting to be recognized.
When that recognition happens, something shifts. Not dramatically, but quietly — like a door opening after being closed for a long time. And that is where the return begins.
The Mai Rei Approach
At Mai Rei, personal growth is meant to feel grounded, clear, and connected to real life.
The work looks at the relationship between the mind, body, emotions, energy, and everyday experience.
When those parts stop pulling in different directions, people often begin to feel more present, more steady, and more connected to themselves.
Mind & Body
The way people think, feel, and speak to themselves shapes the way they move through daily life.
Many Mai Rei tools are created to help quiet a busy mind, notice the emotional patterns underneath, and create more room for clarity, grounding, and self-connection.
Stress and emotional overwhelm rarely stay only in the mind. Over time, they can show up in the body as tension, fatigue, restlessness, or the feeling of being unable to fully settle.
That is why many Mai Rei tools are rooted in a holistic approach — grounding exercises, calming routines, breath-based practices, and gentle somatic work designed to create more space for presence, awareness, and connection with yourself.
For those who want deeper energetic support, distance Reiki sessions are also available for clients in the U.S. and worldwide.
Personal Growth & Self-Connection
This work is shaped by years of study in Reiki, conscious breathing, self-awareness, energy work, and personal development.
Some people come to Mai Rei looking for simple calming tools. Others are looking for a steadier way to understand themselves, their patterns, and the way they respond to life.
Both are welcome here.
The goal is not perfection. It is to create resources and support that feel simple enough to use in real life, while still honoring the deeper emotional and energetic layers of the experience.
What Mai Rei Creates — Somatic Tools, Grounding Techniques & Reiki Resources
Mai Rei focuses on making inner work feel accessible, personal, and usable in everyday life.
The collection is built around a few simple kinds of support:

Body-based practices created for overthinking, emotional overwhelm, inner balance, and reconnecting with yourself through awareness and reflection — available as digital workbooks and simple exercises.

For those drawn to energy work, Mai Rei creates digital Reiki art and Light Language prints infused with Reiki energy and the client’s personal intention.
Personalized somatic tools
Custom resources created around a person's energy, emotional patterns, and the challenges they are currently moving through.
Education, Certifications & International Accreditations
When choosing tools for personal growth, self-reflection, and inner balance, it matters who is behind them.
Every Mai Rei tool is grounded in more than a decade of hands-on practice and over 23 international certifications across Reiki, breathwork, regression work, energy work, body-based education, and personal development.
Maja Mitrova S. has spent years learning from teachers, trainings, and systems that shaped the way she works today, including Spiritual Technology and the work of Slavinski.

Reiki & Energy Work
Maja’s background includes traditional Usui Reiki training, advanced Reiki studies, and professional membership with the International Association of Reiki Professionals (IARP).
Over the years, she has also trained in Reiki & Colour Therapy, Tantra Reiki, and other energy-based practices that shaped the calm, grounded approach behind her work today.
Professional Training & Body-Based Education
Maja completed a 636-hour professional training program at Sirius Training Centre in Sofia, earning a professional qualification in Classical and Therapeutic Massage with General Medical Training and SPA Therapies.
Her training included Healthy and Safe Working Conditions, Professional Ethics and Organization of the Workplace, Human Anatomic and Physiological Data, General Medical Training, Theory and Practice of Massage, Massage Technique – Technique Types, Classification, Essence and Effects, Classical Massage – Overall and Partial, East Asian Point and Linear Massage – Techniques and Methods, Zonal Therapy – Historical Data, Essence and Characteristic, Cellulite – Classification, Types and Cellulite-Generating Zones, Massage with Cups – Objectives, Tasks and Methods, Aromatherapy, Massage with Volcanic Stones – Objectives, Tasks and Methods, SPA Therapy – Characteristic and Essence, as well as extensive educational, practical, and production training.
Throughout the program, she studied workplace safety, professional ethics, anatomy and physiology, body awareness, therapeutic touch, and a variety of approaches to working with the body and supporting overall well-being.
Today, much of that knowledge is integrated into her holistic approach, which brings together Reiki, energy work, self-awareness, presence, and personal growth.
Personal Development & Inner Work
Over the years, Maja has studied emotional patterns, self-awareness, mindset work, and different approaches to personal growth.
Her background includes NLP, inner child work, regression-based studies, and personal development programs that shaped the way she works with people today.
Conscious Breathing Training
Maja’s training in conscious breathing includes both Foundations and Advanced Training with Dan Brulé, one of the most recognized names in conscious breathing work.
Alongside that training, she has practical experience with contemporary approaches such as SOMA Breath and 9D Breathwork, where breathing is combined with music, rhythm, guided experiences, focus, and grounding practices.
This experience continues to influence many of the calming and grounding practices used throughout Mai Rei today.
Transformational Studies & Spiritual Technology
Over the years, Maja has explored the Spiritual Technology methods developed by Slavinski, including systems such as Aspectics, Excalibur, Gnostic Intensive, Kreaton, and Rebirthing.
Much of that work centers on self-awareness, emotional patterns, personal balance, and understanding how people move through stress, change, and everyday life experiences.
Founder & Educational Work
Alongside her work with clients, Maja is the founder of Mai Rei, where she creates calming tools, personalized digital resources, and educational materials centered around self-awareness, grounding, and everyday well-being.
She is also a co-founding member of Ego~Unitas, an association of practitioners and educators focused on personal and spiritual development, where part of her work has included the Diamond Soul method and related transformational studies.
While training and certifications have been an important part of her path, the most meaningful part of this work has always been the people behind it — their stories, experiences, and the trust they have shared with her over the years.
Her work is supported by international training, professional recognition, and continuous deepening.
But the strongest proof is not the certificates. It is the trust, experiences, and stories of the people she has worked with.
