Hi everyone! :)

Have you heard of Reiki?  Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive way to balance our system overall:  mind, body and spirit.  Balance is always a good thing, because your body can only self-heal when your nervous system is balanced. 

Treatment is always safe, for all ages.  There are no known medical contraindications.  After Reiki, clients report reduced anxiety, stress and pain.  It brings deep relaxation and creates a feeling of inner connection to one receiving treatment :)  You will lie fully clothed on a treatment table while I place my hands lightly on or above (your choice!) your head and torso (or if need be, sitting in a chair).  Clients comment how comforting they find the experience of Reiki to be.  People typically leave a Reiki session feeling refreshed, calm, mental clarity, more centered and less reactive.  Additionally, clients report having a slower heart rate, easier breathing, better digestion, a sense of feeling better overall and having the best sleep that night ever.  Treatments are a vital investment in yourself!

Reiki is a spiritual healing practice originating from Japan.  Reiki is a great Interative Therapy to try because you generally start feeling better immediately.  Plus, the benefits grow with repeated sessions.  As anxiety and pain lessen, and you feel hopeful about regaining your health, you feel more able to make needed lifestyle changes.  Reiki can help you become more actively involved in your own health.

Four treatments is a traditional recommendation and gives you time to evaluate what benefits you are receiving.

The best way to understand Reiki is to have a session yourself and enjoy your own, unique experience!  :)

In Reiki practice, there isn't any diagnosing.  As a Practitioner, I'm a facilitator and do not manipulate any outcome.  The Reiki treatment gently stimulates your own self-healing mechanisms.  I practice the simple, traditional practice that was brought from Japan in the 1930's.  Reiki is different from Energy Healing where the Practitioner actually diagnoses and manipulates energy.

There aren't any standards for Reiki training or treatment, and enormous diversity exists among professionals.  Sadly, the extent of the diversity can be confusing to the public.  Professionals do not necessarily agree what the term Reiki refers to.  It's a Buyer Beware market.  I encourage you to choose your Reiki professional carefully.  Feel empowered to ask questions!  Any respectable Reiki professional will appreciate this!

What is my unique perspective as a Reiki Practitioner?

My view and practice of Reiki is broad.  I speak of the Reiki connection rather than of Reiki as a separate, or only "universal life force" energy.  
Reiki is simple.  It is enough.  It is enough on its own.  Nothing needs to be added to it.  I love:  crystals/gemstones, massage, essential oils, energy healing, mediumship, etc.  However, I do not add them to my Reiki treatment.  In lumping all practices together in one sesssion, how would you know what was benefitting you?  Reiki is enough on its own.  Traditional Reiki treatment helps us to feel better :)  And, we all want to feel better!

Do I practice Reiki self-treatment every day?

Absolutely! :)  That is the DEALBREAKER in choosing your Practitioner.

Someone who recognizes Reiki as a spiritual healing practice, and who actually practices daily self-treatment, is able to support you with greater depth and confidence.  Rather than someone who regards Reiki merely as a treatment for others, or just for when they're not feeling well.  Why would you want to receive treatment from a Practitioner who doesn't value Reiki enough to use it to protect and maintain their own health and well-being?

Why did I choose to be a Reiki Practitioner?

I wanted to become a Reiki Practitioner because of my own personal experience receiving treatment.  I was in crisis with my health, I felt raw, exhausted, at the end of my rope.  It was a very dark time in my life.  I was experiencing a dramatic spiritual awakening...reading about and researching many areas.  Everywhere I turned, Reiki kept coming to me.  I recognized the signs!  I read and researched it, but not majorly.  I trusted my gut, my intuition...I needed to try a treatment session.  I did.  It was an amazing inner experience.  I signed up for training immediately.  Bam!  I so wanted to offer the gift of this spiritual healing practice :)

In future...

My goal is to train further, enabling me to teach.  To pass on this incredible, simple healing practice for others' own daily self care.  I love offering treatment!  To teach, empower others to help themselves daily is next level rewarding! :)

What happens during a Reiki treatment?

During a Reiki treatment, you will lay fully clothed on a treatment table, covered in a blanket (if you choose), listening to soothing music (or silence, your choice). Your Reiki Practitioner will lightly lay their hands on or above your head and torso in a series of hand positions (you may opt for hands-off, either way the benefit is the same).  A Reiki treatment generally covers first your head, the front of your body and finally the back of your body. If the reclined position is uncomfortable, Reiki can be given while you sit in a chair.

What does Reiki feel like?

Reiki tends to feel warm and profoundly relaxing. You may feel the hands of the Reiki Practitioner become hot or tingly, or cool & refreshing. Some people describe a floating sensation, seeing colors or shapes, some people fall asleep, many have spiritual experiences.  There is no expected experience - Reiki treatment is a unique experience for each individual who receives it!

After Reiki clients report:

• feeling better immediately  • Perceived reduction in stress, anxiety and pain  • profound relaxation   • feeling an inner connection, in-drawn, similar to meditation  

What are the benefits of further sessions?

Just like meditation, or movement arts, the effects of Reiki are cumulative. While one session can work wonders, regular Reiki treatments can invite significant improvement. For example: if you exercise for an hour, you will receive benefit. If you exercise every day for a month, the results will be much more profound. Reiki works similarly – it's cumulative.

Can Reiki “cure” me?

There is no wand waving here!  Healing is often the result of gentle shifts in awareness, release of emotional patterns, achievement of new understanding, and daily practice. Reiki is not a replacement for traditional medical treatment.
