Beau's Story
From Darkness to Healing
A story of loss, resilience, and the decision to seek healing—even when the way forward felt impossible.
A Life Shaped By Loss
Beau’s story is one of profound loss, resilience, and the decision to keep moving forward even when life felt impossibly dark.
His childhood was shaped by trauma at an early age. He lost his mother to violence when he was seven years old and his father when he was thirteen. After moving into his grandmother’s home, he experienced further instability and abuse. By the time Beau reached his forties, he had experienced the loss of nearly every member of his immediate family.
For much of his life, Beau carried the weight of those experiences with him. Years of grief and unresolved trauma eventually contributed to complex PTSD and a period of severe depression. When that depression became life-threatening, Beau made the decision to seek professional help.
Choosing to Heal
For three years, Beau worked with a licensed therapist and began confronting experiences he had carried for decades. Therapy became an important part of his healing, but the process was not quick or easy. His journey has had setbacks, breakthroughs, difficult days, and moments that changed the course of his life.
As his healing journey continued, Beau discovered spinal energetics. The experience introduced him to another way of thinking about healing and the connection between the emotional, physical, and energetic parts of ourselves. Combined with the work he had already done in therapy, it became another meaningful part of his journey.
It was through that experience that Beau discovered Reiki. Something about Reiki resonated deeply with him. What began as another part of his own healing eventually became a calling to learn the practice himself. Beau became a certified Reiki practitioner with the hope of creating for others the kind of space that had once helped him find his own way forward.
The Warrior Within
Beau does not believe healing means erasing what happened to us. His own journey has taught him that healing can mean loosening the hold the past has on the present and discovering that trauma does not have to define the rest of your life.
The work has been some of the hardest of his life, and his healing journey continues. But today, Beau lives a life that once felt impossible to him. He is married to his high school sweetheart, is the father of two sons, and is currently writing a book about his life and his journey through trauma, grief, and healing.
His experiences are also at the heart of Warrior Within Healing Arts. Beau knows what it is like to feel consumed by darkness—and what it takes to ask for help when you can no longer find the way forward alone.
“I found my way out of the darkness so that I would know the way out when I went back in to bring others out of theirs.”
— Beau McCorry
Love & Light
Having experienced profound darkness himself, Beau is intentional about what he brings into every Reiki session: compassion, positive intention, love, and light.
He closes each session with the same words:
“I seal this with love and light.”
For Beau, those words represent more than the end of a session. They reflect the way he has chosen to move through the world—and the hope behind Warrior Within Healing Arts.
