#WomenWhoSlayWednesday: Book Review of 'I Am Healing: 7 Secrets to Wellness & Selfcare'


Two years ago I met an amazing woman in Peer Recovery training. From the very start I was drawn in by Percilla Zeno's warmth, the way her eyes lock with yours in a conversation, and her genuine ability to give you honest feedback in a loving way. Since then I've watched Zeno take her certification as a Peer Recovery Specialist and vast credentials as an energy healer to help free people from pain and trauma. 

Percilla is registered as a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist with the Virginia Board of Counseling. She is also a Healing Touch Practioneer Apprentice. She holds 4 out of the 5 certifications in Healing Touch Therapy and is working on her fifth.


Percilla's work inspired her to write her first book, 'I AM Healing: The 7 Secrets to Wellness and Self-Care'. Percilla says she wrote the book to show others they possess the power to overcome, survive, heal, and regain the life they always dreamt of.

Percilla's book ‘I Am Healing’ is a story of one woman’s journey from surviving trauma to finding inner peace. In her writing debut, Zeno guides readers through the steps she took to find healing. At first glance the book ‘I AM Healing: The 7 Secrets to Wellness and Self-care’ seems like most self-help books, giving tips and tricks about wellness. But Zeno’s book is much more.


‘I AM Healing’ is part memoir and part holistic guidance. Zeno reveals seven steps to wellness by exposing her darkest, and most painful life experiences. It is through these deep life reflections that Zeno shows people they possess the great power for peace and healing within themselves. Zeno calls this inner power the ‘I AM’.  In chapter one, Zeno describes the inner ‘I AM’ as a tranquil river we all exist in. The river is our own healing power or ‘I AM’. If we are not careful the struggles of life can congest the ‘I AM’ with pain, trauma, stress, and anxiety. When the healing river is clogged, we are unable to connect into the part of ourselves that creates, loves, breathes, and thrives.  

“The I AM is the highest and best part of you, the part that wants the highest and best for you. The I AM within you is that which awaits the willingness to freely remove blocked energy, and tension that binds you. Again, the I AM is the inner you, the non-physical you that innocent, loving, courageous, exposed, tranquil, forgiving, true, honest, and most beautiful you. This is who you were before you were birthed.” (Excerpt from 'I AM Healing')

Each of the seven chapters reveals a lesson from Zeno’s own life, and her revelations about the power of the inner ‘I AM’. The chapters end with a question for readers to examine themselves, an affirmation, acknowledgement, and tips for energy healing.


I am so proud of my friend and peer for writing this book. I am also blown away at Percilla's bravery in showing her what she learned from the hardest times of her life. I also found myself in awe of how Percilla found the means to forgive her abusers, and even show them grace. It's a power that seems unthinkable. Percilla says energy healing has shown her it's not only possible but neccesary to reaching your fullest potential in life.

I highly reccomend this book, and teachings from my great friend and peer Percilla Zeno. You can learn about Percilla, energy healing, and her book  now at www.thehealingpartner.com
