For those who are new to Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key), it is a Japanese word that means Universal Life Force Energy. Simply put, it is the energy which animates us, it is in every living thing, and is found all around us. A Reiki Practitioner is someone who has been attuned to these energies and has been taught how to channel them. The Practitioner is not the source of the healing, the channeled Reiki energy is the source of the healing. It is a dance between the Reiki energy and the client’s willingness to heal that decides (consciously or subconsciously) what level of healing happens in a session.

I am a Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui lineage, and also have advanced training as a Karuna Ki Reiki Master.
Reiki is an intelligent energy that knows where to go in the body and knows the exact right amount of energy to facilitate healing within us. Reiki works to help heal us on emotional, physical, and mental levels. It harmonizes and balances our bodies so that we can feel calm, relaxed, nurtured, and de-stressed. There are no spiritual beliefs that you need to hold for Reiki to work. It’s energy. Energy doesn’t care what religion you are or aren’t. It does not discriminate. All you need is a willingness to be open to
receive it.

When the flow of the Life Force Energy within us has been weakened, blocked, or disrupted, you may experience mental, emotional, and health problems. Many sources and situations in our lives can cause imbalance: emotional or physical trauma, injury, chronic health problems, emotions that are not expressed in a healthy way, negative self talk, the inability to love oneself or others, negative thoughts and feelings that includes, etc. Reiki is such a wonderful healing modality that helps to heal the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—as well the physical symptoms that imbalances can create.

During children’s sessions, parents are required to be present.
