Rei=Universal Ki=spirit

Reiki is life-force energy. This healing practice is awakening this energy and moving it through the practitioner as a conduit of the Universe directly to the recipient for their healing benefit. As a practitioner, I am only a passageway and Reiki is not affected by my personal energy. The person receiving Reiki is doing their own healing and I am here to support them. It is an honor to share this experience. All that is asked is to welcome in this energy and allow it to aid you in becoming your best self. This is a loving invitation from the Universe to change and heal.

The Reiki energy works to bring balance back to the energy centers of the body. Imbalances in the body can show up as stress, pain, restlessness, insomnia, anxiety, exhaustion, negative thought patterns, poor appetite, sadness and so many more ways. Reiki activates the parasympathetic nervous system response. This is the rest and reset state that many of us only access for a short amount of time in our sleep. By allowing our bodies to reach this state more often, we are welcoming more healing to occur! This does not mean that Reiki always makes you fall asleep (although this can happen while receiving a session). Reiki tells your body that you are safe and your nervous system leaves the sympathetic mode to go into the parasympathetic mode, and the rebalancing process begins. This feels very relaxing and dream-like. We all have connective tissue called fascia that holds everything in our body together. Fascia is affected by everyday life and tenses up or tightens when exposed to stress. Just like heat or physical therapy, reiki works to soften the fascia. Reiki is used in over 1,000 hospitals in the United States to help patients and care providers manage pain and stress. 

Reiki does not care what God you believe in or require any worship. It is only energy. Reiki only works given consent or permission. It’s not invasive or intrusive and is here to promote healing. People can receive treatments  to help manage their physical ailments and not connect to any sort of religion. There is a spiritual aspect to Reiki for a lot of people, but it doesn’t have to be for you if you do not want it to be. You are welcomed exactly as you are.

Depending on what your intentions are for the session, results will differ. Clients seek sessions for pain or stress management, mental clarity, reconnecting with their intuition and inner wisdom, better sleep, or overall energy refreshment. You can lay down or sit to receive an in-person session. The work can be done with very light touching from my hands across different parts of your body or no touching at all if that is something you are not comfortable with. My goal is to create an experience tailored just for you. The sessions can range from 30-90 minutes depending on how long you would like. In person sessions are beneficial to people who want the spa-like experience but not necessary to receive the full healing benefits of Reiki.  This energy work can be done long distance as well. It knows no space or time therefore it can work wherever, whenever. Distant sessions can be done live over the phone or can be sent your way at whatever time you would like. For example, if you wanted a session with the intention of getting more restful sleep, I can channel the energy to be sent to you whenever you go to bed. This energy can also be used on animals and on objects. How cool is that?

Multiple sessions may be needed to reach or help maintain the results you want. I am NOT a licensed health professional, therapist or massage therapist. I do not give medical advice. I am a trauma-informed Reiki Master Practitioner. I will offer insights about the session after it is completed upon your request. I am here to aid you on your healing journey, not to give medical advice or “fix” you. You are not broken. Any feelings you experience are welcome and are yours to share only if you want to. Our time together is confidential. I will answer any questions you have to the best of my ability. Drinking lots of water before and after a session is recommended to allow the energy to flow more freely. Typically a client will experience relaxation and a sense of calmness. They usually sleep well the evening of their session. Mood elevation, creativity and motivation are some of the wonderful possible side effects. 

Your highest self is the essence of who you are as a person when you are following your divine path.  This is where you find the most pure source of joy, love, and gratitude. This energy supports you on your personal path reminding you of your strengths, ability to heal and to take care of yourself on the deepest levels. The Universe only wants what is best for you and is always here to help.

I am a certified trauma-informed coach which means I provide my services with a deep understanding of what trauma is and how it affects us as humans. Learning some of the science behind our nervous system and working directly with it has helped me process my own trauma in a safe and healthy way. I am honored to be able to offer this experience to you as it has helped me so much in all aspects of my life. Pairing this knowledge with Reiki has opened more doors for healing to come through. Holding compassion for myself and my trauma has given me so much space to hold for others that are struggling. I am here to remind you that you are not alone in this and you are so capable of healing from what holds you back. I believe with all my heart that people who suffer from PTSD, anxiety and depression, panic and anxiety attacks can greatly benefit from Reiki. A goal of mine is to integrate Reiki into plans of care for Hospice patients and caregivers around the United States and to those in recovery programs from substance abuse. Anyone and everyone can benefit from this. You can reclaim your personal power. Working directly with your trauma can help accelerate your healing. I care deeply to empower you and support you on navigating your own healing journey.
