What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy healing practice developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century, based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living beings, and when this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to physical or emotional imbalance. Reiki is not a religion or structured belief system; this therapy is completely compatible with any religious, spiritual, or sectarian philosophy.
What happens in a Reiki session?
Our session will begin with a brief check-in to discover any current issues or desired area of focus. You will rest comfortably, full clothed, either lying on a table or seated in a chair.
Then, I will gently place my hands on or just above your body, allowing healing energy to flow where it's needed most. This gentle, non-invasive practice invites deep relaxation, eases anxiety, nurtures emotional clarity, and supports your body’s natural healing process.
Benefits of Reiki
People seek relief for physical tension, fatigue, and muscle aches. A Reiki session will help you release tightness, deepen breathing, and open your body to a more relaxed general state.
Reiki is also useful in helping us cope with the fast pace and intensity that exists in everyday life. It can help us process emotions, reduce reactivity, and alleviate overwhelm, and leave you feeling grounded and balanced.
Reiki in Healthcare
Reiki is increasingly recognized as a complementary therapy within medical settings and is sometimes included in integrative care programs at hospitals and wellness centers. While it is not a substitute for conventional medicine, Reiki is often used to support patients undergoing surgery, cancer care, managing chronic pain, and in hospice care.
About Me
Guided by a lifelong curiosity for the deeper layers of health and healing, I have explored a variety of alternative, energetic, nutritional, and natural modalities. Through the art and science of Reiki, I am able to help others by gently encouraging the natural flow of life energy that nurtures healing, balance, and inner peace.
I have been certified as a Level 3 Reiki Master Teacher (RMT) since 2015. Before answering this calling, I worked as a business consultant in fast-paced work environments while raising my daughter. I gained a deep appreciation for balancing the demands of an active life with the need to decompress and continue to grow into my best self. Today, I bring this understanding and passion into this healing practice, compassionately honoring each person’s unique path toward balance, renewal, and wellbeing.
I look forward to working with you!
