What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese-based form of energy work. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means "Spirituality Of" and (Ki) which means "Energy". It uses Universal Energy to remove energetic blockages. These blockages can originate in all sorts of ways; they can stem from stress, trauma, dietary problems, fear, self-worth issues, childhood baggage, the list goes on. These blockages can prevent you from being your healthiest & happiest selves. Over time they can cause further problems, anything from physical pain to depression or anxiety.
Often, healing requires a variety of approaches. If I am suffering from chronic back pain, a combination of massage therapy, chiropractic work, and energy work will all do their part to assist in the healing process. Reiki is simply one avenue that can help get you to the healthiest and happiest version of yourself!
It is important to note that Reiki can not harm you. There is a significant difference between "harm" and "discomfort". Discomfort is a common aspect of healing, as blockages break apart and clear out, and old wounds begin to heal up. It's like feeling muscle soreness the day after working out; you feel uncomfortable, but not like you have been harmed. That "good sore" is something many of my clients experience after a session.
As with any other modality, often pain (physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual), is not cured in one session. One session with a certified therapist won't heal your past traumas, one chiropractic session won't heal your back, even one visit to your doctor for depression won't make it go away. Energy work operates in the same fashion. Our traumas tend to get wrapped up in various aspects of our being: affecting different physical body systems, our relationships and destructive behaviors, and our ability to have compassion for ourselves.
With these energy sessions, we work to gradually un-wrap these traumatic holds. Reiki is a safe and gentle way to navigate through these layers of trauma and pain, without feeling like you're ripping the band-aid off. Instead, we are cleaning out these old wounds and allowing them to heal properly.

What To Expect

People experience Reiki in a myriad of ways. I’ve had clients experience extreme heat or cold, sudden calm or clarity, bouts of laughter or crying (sometimes both), vibrations in the body, and, most importantly, some positive difference in their lives after the session is over. Sometimes I move blockages out of the way, and other stuff surfaces. Then we work on the next layer together. Regardless of how many layers we need to work through, how much discomfort may be experienced, how surprisingly raw you may feel, Reiki always works for your Highest Good.
It will work you towards the most wonderful version of yourself. Happy, healthy, whole. There is an old adage that refers to people being stuck on the banks of a raging river, desperately holding on to anything they can - tree limbs and rocks - to avoid being swept away. What these people don’t realize, is down the river, just around the bend, there is a rescue team waiting to save them. Reiki is powerful, and it doesn’t mess around. If you are truly ready to heal, truly ready to face whatever it is that needs facing, then let’s do this. I am here as a healer, yes, but also here for support. I can’t make you heal your fears, your traumas, your pain. But I can facilitate it. I can get this energy running through you, working to balance and heal you. When you’re ready to make the jump...

What is a Reiki Circle? Essentially, I will energetically connect to you and run Reiki through you, with some particular intention behind it (for example, we'll work on grounding, centering, calming fears, etc.). You do not *have* to be present during the circle necessarily (it can "run in the background", so to speak), though you will get more out of it if you are present at the time and have some awareness of what you're feeling.
Please reach out if you or a group have any interest in a Reiki Circle!
