Reiki (pronounced "ray-key"), translated from Japanese, means "universal life force energy"; it is a nonphysical and omnipresent energy found in and around all living beings.  Reiki, as a therapeutic practice, is a relaxation and stress reduction modality that promotes the body's natural ability to heal itself by releasing congestion from energy centers (chakras) and pathways (meridians) to enable a healthy flow of energy.

Reiki is a non-invasive and complimentary holistic healing technique that addresses issues affecting the individual on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels and promotes overall well-being, groundedness, and a sense of balance.  When received regularly, Reiki has been known to relieve pain, reduce stress and anxiety, aid digestion, improve sleep, strengthen the immune system, and accelerate the recovery of wounds.

Reiki does not require belief (also does not conflict with religious beliefs) to work, it can do no harm, and can benefit people of all ages.

I recommend dressing in loose comfortable clothing for your session.  I will have extra blankets to offer should you feel chilly and I respectfully request that you remove your shoes before entering the reiki studio.

On the day of your first session, we will spend extra time discussing your goals in pursuing reiki treatments and address any concerns or questions you might have.  I will then assist you onto the table and ensure that you are comfortable prior to beginning treatment.

Reiki is administered by placing the hands on or above specific parts of the client's body, always avoiding sensitive areas.  Along with soothing music and other relaxing environmental sounds, I also enjoy utilizing Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks, and crystals during treatment.  The addition or omission of any aspect of the treatment will be respected and upheld, at your request.

Many of my clients report feeling a sense of floating or hovering above their body or sinking deeper into the table during treatment.  They also report feeling an overall calmness, peace, and wellness during treatment, lasting one to a few days after treatment.  Other bodily sensations reported are tingles, heat or chill, stomach rumbling, and sleepiness.

Once your reiki session is complete. I will gently awaken you and provide you with some time to adjust before beginning our post-session discussion.  I will give my analysis of the condition of your energetic system (chakra centers and any specific issue spots worth mentioning) and explain anything of interest.  I love hearing about my clients' experiences after the session, but I will always respect your right to choose whether or not to share.
