What is Reiki?

The word "Reiki" originates from the fusion of two Japanese terms: "Rei," representing "God's wisdom" or "the higher power," and "Ki," signifying the life force energy found in all living beings. When combined, "rei" and "ki" symbolize "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki is a beautiful energy healing technique that harnesses the gentle power of hand movements to guide the flow of life force energy through your body, effectively reducing stress and promoting natural healing processes.

It’s not a religion and is not associated with any religious practice, although it can be quite a spiritual experience.

As a practitioner of Reiki therapy, I understand that healing comes from within, and I see myself as a conduit for the energy that promotes your self-healing abilities. I don't claim to possess the power to heal you, but rather, I am here to channel the healing energy that you may need. Your own belief and energy are essential for the healing process. I want you to feel comfortable and open to receiving this energy, allowing your body to utilize it in the way that it needs.

Reiki is an amazing energy technique that compassionately works on the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It genuinely increases one's Life Force Energy, aiding the body in finding balance and promoting overall well-being. Many studies have shown that Reiki brings about meaningful benefits such as reducing blood pressure, improving sleep, easing anxiety, and managing pain. It's important to remember that Reiki is commonly viewed as a complementary therapy by mainstream medicine and is meant to be used alongside standard medical care, not as a substitution for it. If you're feeling unsure about integrating Reiki into your therapy plan, seeking advice from your doctor is always a good idea.

What to expect

A single Reiki session can do wonders for your autonomic nervous system! It has the power to guide your body from a "fight-or-flight" state to a calm "rest-and-digest" state, This shift has the potential to support your body's natural healing processes.

During a session, which typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, you will recline on a plush, heated massage table, enveloped in a soft blanket with a supportive pillow beneath your head. It is important for you to wear loose, comfortable clothing, allowing you to fully relax and embrace the experience. As the practitioner, I act as a conduit for the healing energy, delicately placing my hands on or near your body in a series of carefully chosen positions, tailored to your specific needs. Throughout the session, I remain attuned to your energy, allowing the flow of healing energy to guide each movement. Expect to be immersed in a deep state of relaxation and tranquility during the session. You may drift into a meditative state, experiencing a range of sensations such as warmth or coolness, gentle tingling, or even witnessing vivid imagery or colors. Each person's journey and response to the energy are unique and deeply personal. Following the session, you may feel an overwhelming sense of peace and contentment, or you may feel energized and revitalized. It is advised to schedule your Reiki treatment on a day when you can afford some downtime afterward. Your body may signal a need for rest or a desire for activity, and it is essential to honor and provide yourself with what you need. Hydration is important, so I recommend drinking approximately 32 oz. of water in the hours following your treatment. The profound effects of the Reiki treatment may unfold over hours or days, and it would be valuable to journal your experiences, acknowledging and appreciating the diverse effects of the healing energy
