Hidden Gems: Meet Rebecca Boothroyd of Mending Zenful Minds

Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebecca Boothroyd.

Hi Rebecca, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
My journey didn’t start in a wellness studio, it started in a medical laboratory. I spent years working as a Medical Technologist, rooted in science, data, and clinical precision. But life has a way of calling you toward something deeper, and for me, that call was impossible to ignore.
Through my own personal healing journey, I discovered the profound impact that energy work, sound healing, and intentional mentoring can have on a person’s life, things that science alone couldn’t always explain but that I could feel and witness in real time. That intersection of the scientific and the spiritual became the foundation of everything I do today.
In 2021, I founded Mending Zenful Minds, a holistic wellness brand built on the belief that true transformation starts from within. What began as a calling rooted in personal experience has grown into a full service wellness brand serving individuals, groups, and corporate clients through Reiki energy sessions, sound bath experiences, transformational life mentoring, and mindful creative expression.
My faith has been the cornerstone of everything. A life-changing pilgrimage to Israel where I was baptized in the Jordan River, prayed at the Western Wall, and walked through some of the most sacred sites in the world deepened my understanding of healing on every level and confirmed that this work is exactly where I’m meant to be.
Today I stand as an Ordained Minister, Transformational Life Strategist, and CEO of Mending Zenful Minds LLC — ranked #1 in South Jersey for Holistic Medicine Practitioner back to back in 2025 and 2026, a contributing author in Unbreakable Women Stories Vol. 1, and featured in publications including Fate & Fortune Magazine and the Daily Mail in the UK. I’ve also been recognized as an Influential Women honoree.
But beyond the accolades, what drives me every single day is simple watching people reconnect with themselves and step into the life they were always meant to live.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Here we go:

Smooth? Not even close, and I think that’s exactly what makes the work authentic.
Building Mending Zenful Minds from the ground up while navigating life’s personal challenges was not a straight line. There were moments of self-doubt, financial uncertainty, and the very real struggle of trying to establish credibility in a space where holistic wellness is still misunderstood by many. People hear “energy healing” and they don’t always know what to make of it and learning how to communicate the value of this work to people who had never experienced it was a challenge in itself.
As a former Medical Technologist stepping into the wellness space, I also had to find my own footing reconciling my scientific background with a practice that operates beyond what can always be measured in a lab. That wasn’t always easy. But ultimately that tension became one of my greatest strengths, because I understand both worlds.
There were also the personal valleys that quietly shape you, the seasons of life that test your faith, your resilience, and your sense of purpose. I didn’t come into this work because everything was perfect. I came into it because I knew what it felt like to need exactly what I now offer others.
Running two businesses simultaneously has also required an enormous amount of discipline, strategy, and trust — trusting the process even when the results weren’t immediate and the road ahead wasn’t clear.
But every obstacle became a stepping stone. Every struggle deepened my empathy for the people I serve. And every moment I wanted to quit reminded me exactly why I started.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
Mending Zenful Minds LLC is a holistic wellness brand that operates at the intersection of science, spirituality, and intentional living. We specialize in Reiki sessions, sound bath experiences using crystal singing bowls, transformational life mentoring and strategy, mindful creative expression and more serving individuals, groups, and corporate clients both virtually and in person.
What we’re known for is creating a space where people feel genuinely seen, supported, and safe enough to do the real work of transformation. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all wellness experience. Every session, every interaction, every offering is rooted in meeting the client exactly where they are — no judgment, no pressure, just authentic guidance and support.
What sets us apart is the foundation we’re built on. Our CEO brings a background as a former Medical Technologist, which means this brand bridges the gap between clinical understanding and holistic practice in a way that most wellness brands simply can’t. We honor both the science and the spiritual and that combination builds a level of trust that goes beyond what a typical wellness practitioner can offer.
We also operate from a place of deep faith and intentionality. As an Ordained Minister and Transformational Life Strategist, our CEO brings a whole-person approach to every client interaction addressing not just what someone is experiencing physically or emotionally, but who they are at their core and where they’re trying to go.
It’s also important for our readers to know that our services are complementary in nature they are not a substitute for medical or mental health treatment. What we offer is a powerful, supportive layer of care that works alongside whatever journey a client is already on.
Brand wise, what we’re most proud of is the credibility we’ve built organically. Being ranked #1 in South Jersey for Holistic Medicine Practitioner back to back in 2025 and 2026 by Business Rate, being recognized as an Influential Women honoree, contributing to Unbreakable Women Stories Vol. 1, and being featured in international publications including Fate & Fortune Magazine and the Daily Mail in the UK — none of that was handed to us. It was earned through consistency, authenticity, and a genuine commitment to the people we serve.
What we want readers to know most is this – if you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, stuck, or like something in your life is simply out of alignment, Mending Zenful Minds was built for you. You don’t have to have it all figured out to reach out. That’s exactly what we’re here for.
Visit us at mendingzenfulminds.com or reach out directly at info@mendingzenfulminds.com to learn more or book your experience.

Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
Here we go:

Yes, I want readers to know that healing is not a destination, it’s a journey. And you don’t have to walk it alone.
So often we wait until we’re completely broken down before we reach out for support. We normalize the overwhelm, the exhaustion, the feeling of being disconnected from ourselves and everything around us. And I want to gently challenge that. You deserve support before you hit rock bottom. You deserve to feel aligned, grounded, and at peace, not just survive, but truly thrive.
I also want to be transparent — I am not a licensed therapist or medical professional in the context of Mending Zenful Minds, and I never want anyone to confuse what we offer with clinical treatment. What I am is someone who has walked through her own valleys, who carries both a scientific background and a deep spiritual foundation, and who shows up every single day with a genuine heart for the people she serves. That authenticity is something I will never compromise.
To anyone who has been curious about holistic wellness but hasn’t taken the step yet I invite you to just start the conversation. There’s no commitment, no pressure, and no wrong time to begin. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for yourself is simply say “I’m open to something different.”
And to the women especially you spend so much of your lives pouring into everyone else. Your families, your careers, your communities. I want to remind you that you cannot pour from an empty cup. Investing in your own wellness isn’t selfish. It’s necessary. It’s survival. And it might just be the thing that changes everything.
I am deeply grateful for every platform, every publication, every podcast, and every reader who has taken the time to learn about Mending Zenful Minds. This brand exists because of the people who believe in this work and I don’t take that lightly.
