Why Reiki?

I was twenty and suffering from severe ovarian cysts. I'd been in and out of clinics for months with very little reprieve from the pain. Pain medication became a constant - and for anyone who's lived under those conditions, you know how terrible it can be to manage a normal life alongside chronic pain like this. 

​

A friend mentioned that he was a Reiki Practitioner. I wasn't sure what this *energy healing* was but was willing to try anything. Without going into details, during that single session he was able to conquer those cysts. 

​

They never returned again.

​

As my Reiki Instructor, William Rand, told me nearly twenty years later: "You don't have to believe it, you simply have to allow it."

​

What is it?

Reiki works in different ways depending on the master who is giving it. With me and for the clients I use it on, it works like an energetic massage. It has helped my clients to sleep, relax, calm and control their parasympathetic nervous systems. Often my clients will have minor visions during a session. They may feel heat in certain areas of their bodies and feel relief from minor pains and injuries.

​

How does it work?

Following a brief intake of information, I will have you lay down as I bring the Reiki Energy into our session. I can feel it activate in my hands as I work them above your body. There is no need to touch you. You simply get to notice what you experience. Mostly, you simply relax and allow the energy to clear your body of anything residual or that may be lingering around you.

​

Following our session, I ask that you treat your body as though you just had a physical massage - drink water, stretch, continue to relax. But normally, clients feel a burst of energy following a Reiki session! It's incredibly powerful.

​

What's it feel like?

It feels very relaxing. 

I am absorbing negative energy from your body, so while I may be experiencing intense bodily sensations, my clients do not. You may fall asleep, or float into a deeply relaxing or even meditative state. Often clients feel heat or cooling in different parts of their body; sometimes colors present themselves to my clients which we can discuss either during or following our session.

​

Many clients enjoy receiving coaching in the midst of a Reiki session. This presents a beautiful opportunity for you to simply notice how your body is reacting to energy while recognizing your mind's attachment to meaning. We are able to explore a much deeper level of coaching while using Reiki.

​

Following a Reiki Session, clients may gain a burst of energy; but come bedtime, sleep feels deep and soulful.

In-person & Virtual Sessions Available!

Because Reiki is energy healing, I am able to offer it virtually. It works the same way as in person sessions.
