About me
Hi, I’m Dovile – the heart behind Gift of Hope.
“Dovile” means gift of hope in Lithuanian, and this name became the essence of my healing work.
I was born in Lithuania in 1997, under the soft skies of a Baltic summer. Looking at this page now, it may seem like spirituality has always been central to my life — but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Up until 2022, it barely played a role at all.
Childhood
As a child, I never cared much for spirituality. My family, like most in Lithuania, identified as Christian, but my parents were never deeply religious — for us, it was more tradition than belief. Funnily enough, I did go through a short phase as a teenager where I tried to be religious. I visited churches, explored different faiths, and sought meaning in rituals… but something was always missing. It never quite clicked.
Even without religion, I was a highly sensitive and emotional child — a young Cancerian, feeling deeply but without the tools to channel that 'gift' which I called a punishment. During my teenage years, I struggled to form genuine connections and often found myself alone at home. Loneliness was a constant companion. I was expressive, talkative, full of ideas — yet I couldn't seem to find kindred spirits who stayed. Something always felt just out of reach, though I couldn’t name what it was.
The real, soul-deep connections — the ones I cherish to this day — only began finding their way into my life later on.
My Turning Point
At 23, I moved to Berlin — simply because it felt right. I spent a few years immersed in the city's wild, reckless energy. But in 2022, everything began to change.
I started hearing a high-pitched frequency in my ears. All my buried worries and struggles came rushing to the surface, along with a deep need to reevaluate my life. Without even realizing it at first, I began searching for meaning in everything I did.
It was a long, intense process — filled with emotional distress, physical discomfort, and a whirlwind of confusing, symbolic dreams and visions. I began to physically feel my chakras, started thinking of things before they happened, and witnessed many other unexplainable, magical shifts in my reality.
At times, it felt like I was either dying or losing my mind. But the logic I’d always relied on kept questioning everything. I think the only reason I came to trust what I was feeling and experiencing was because I had no prior knowledge of these things — and, truthfully, I was quite skeptical.
Somewhere in the midst of it all, I heard about Reiki. It sounded strange and almost unbelievable — until I began to feel energy swirling in my abdomen. I knew I had to learn more.
Two years later, I’m a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner. Reiki helped me find sanity in the midst of chaos, and continues to help me share this beautiful, healing energy with others every day.
My Practice Today
I also feel spirits — they often come to me as a cold breeze on my face or a gentle pressure around my head. They are magical beings with the power to heal. That’s what led me to learn Shamanic Journeying, taught by a beautiful soul in Berlin. This practice allows me to enter a trance-like state and connect with the spirit world.
My intention today is to create a space of healing through Reiki, while inviting the spirits to assist. I use a few shamanic tools during my sessions — each carrying its own healing energy. All you have to do is lie down, open your heart, and allow them to help. From my experience, they are always more than happy to support.
If there’s one truth I’ve discovered on this journey, it’s this: you are never truly alone. Even when it feels like it, and even when the path is heavy — there is help all around you. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself.
In the future, this page will grow to include more of my practices, such as witchcraft, Tarot, and Mediumship. Let’s stay in touch...
Wherever you are on your journey, I hope this space offers you a sense of calm, connection, and hope — even if just for a moment.
