What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient technique for reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and encouraging the body into a balanced and healed state of well-being. The word “Reiki” is a Japanese word meaning “universal life energy”. This life force energy resides in all created matter: animals, vegetable, or mineral. Reiki is healing energy in its truest sense and form. It is a gentle, subtle, yet powerful energy healing art.
Who can benefit from Reiki? Anyone can receive a Reiki treatment. Women, men, children, women who are pregnant, old and young alike can receive Reiki. People with addictions, cancer, diabetes, broken bones, patients going through chemotherapy, surgery, any physical, emotional or mental ailment can be helped with Reiki. Animals love Reiki, too and benefit from treatments just as we do. Reiki can cause no harm.
Reiki is the "art of inviting happiness."

What to expect during a session:
When you arrive, we will chat briefly. What you share with me is sacred and conducive to your growth experience and is confidential.
You will lie down on a massage table, fully clothed except for shoes (you may leave socks on). It is best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
The lights are dimmed and meditative music will be playing. This helps you to relax which allows the energy to work more efficiently.
During the session, I will place my hands gently on different parts of your body. If there are any specific areas you do not want touched, please let me know before the session. I will always ask permission first.
Energy will flow to the imbalances in your body regardless of where my hands are placed. Your experience may vary depending on many factors such as your level of relaxation, blockages that need to be cleared, etc. Sometimes you may feel nothing, and then later start to feel better. Some people describe feeling vibration, heat, cold, or seeing colors in their mind. Each experience is unique to the individual.
What to do after your session Hydrate yourself – drink lots of water to allow toxins to flow out of your body
Rest if you feel your body or mind needs it
After your session, most people feel a deep sense of relaxation, of lightness and overall well being. The effects of your treatment continue even when the session ends. The energy will continue to work for several days. Everyone is different. Some feel more creative, feel calmer, more tolerant of things that would have upset them before, some people feel more energized. You may feel like your body is undergoing a detoxification process and in a way it is. Energy that has been trapped or stored in a negative way is being released from your body to bring you an increased feeling of well being.
I recommend initially having three to four sessions over a two ‑week period and then once a week every week or two weeks until issues are resolved.
