REIKI is the Life Force Energy that flows through all living things. This healing modality treats the whole person--mind, body and spirit--and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well being. The practitioner uses a gentle touch technique that works by raising the vibratory level of the energy. Reiki clears, straightens, and heals the chakra pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow.

What is a Reiki Session like?

For 90-minute office sessions, we will begin with a brief check-in. I will ask you about your concerns, what events are taking place in your life at the time, and any physical ailments you might have. You will then get onto the massage table wearing comfortable clothing and begin to receive the Reiki by gentle hands-on touch. Some people often go into deep relaxation, while others might experience a trance-like state that opens them to insights into their lives. It is a very personal experience and different for each person. After an hour of Reiki we will again have a brief conversation about how your session went.

Reiki with Mindfulness

Mindfulness in Buddhism is a practice of meditation for self-discovery, personal growth, clarity and wisdom. It is a practice of learning to be present in the moment with compassionate awareness. As a Reiki Master I offer the Buddhist aspects of mindfulness, compassion, forgiveness, and lovingkindness in my Reiki sessions. These practices unblock stuck energy and create energetic flows within the mind, body, emotions and soul to bring healing and realignment.

  • Mindfulness allows the practice with meditation to observe feelings and thoughts without being controlled by them, providing the opportunity to choose compassion for oneself and others. I teach a breath meditation we can use together in Reiki sessions to help shift out old thoughts and bring in more loving acceptance of self and others.
  • Compassion is the wish for all sentient beings and ourselves to be free from suffering and its causes. In my Reiki healing sessions I help create a softening of the ego to begin to see that we are all doing the best that we can in any given moment and to bring loving understanding to ourselves and others.
  • Forgiveness is a powerful healing process that allows one to move through difficult emotions and experience relief, compassion and peace. Through forgiveness we can let go of past experiences and open to love for oneself and others. I support everyone in forgiveness practices to help reconnect to self love and the Universal Love.
  • Loving-kindness melts away barriers between self and others to create an open heart which is a part of compassion and forgiveness. Reiki energy healing is so helpful to soften the daily anxiety we may have and help bring us back to feeling calm, peaceful and loving-kindness for ourselves and others.

Tarot Reading with Soul

I also offer the possibility of understanding emotions, gaining guidance for self care and spiritual growth through tarot readings. The new insights from a tarot reading can help to create the lives we want to live and experience it with love, joy and compassion for ourselves and others.

Reiki and Sound Healing

I bring into my healing sessions the option of having a sound healing with Reiki using tuning forks, energy bar chimes, Tibetan singing bowls, my singing, toning or crystal singing bowls. I work with the chakra system to clear blockages. The sound vibrations help to clear stuck energies and bring in healing to the physical body, mind and heart. Sound Healing allows flow of energy into the whole system for harmony and balance.

How much is a Reiki Session?

A 90-minute session is sliding scale to accommodate all income levels. $160 - $260

 

Private Reiki Classes

As a Reiki Master/ Teacher I offer Reiki classes from the tradition of Usui Shiki Ryoho - the Usui system of natural healing. I teach private classes for one student per class so the student has undivided attention.

To Learn Reiki with me I ask that the student first receive 3 Reiki healing sessions from me in order to understand what it is like to receive Reiki and how each of the 3 sessions can promote healing from the last.

Reiki First Degree Class

Reiki I is taught as a one day class where you receive four Reiki Attunments for the first part of the day. The second part of the day I will teach you how to give yourself a Reiki treatment according to the Chakra System.

If you wish to learn to give a Reiki treatment to another, I will suggest bringing a friend for the second part of the day where I can teach you the Reiki hand positions to give a Reiki treatment.

The cost is $275

I request students to get these books in advance for our class:

  • The Power of Reiki - An Ancient Hands-On Healing Technique by Tanmaya Honervogt
  • Wheels of Life - The Classic Guide to the Chakra System by Anodea Judith PHD

I teach all three levels Reiki I, II, and III and ask students to practice Reiki on themselves and others before taking the next level.

Crystal Healing

For those interested, I also like to incorporate crystals into my Reiki sessions. Crystals work by vibrating at different levels depending on their color and properties. These vibrations work well with the Reiki energy to balance one's chakra system. The Reiki and crystals support each other in my sessions. I find it exciting to work with them and they enhance my energy work.

My focus with Reiki Healing Sessions

When you choose to come in for a Reiki session you will have the opportunity to relax, heal and grow at your own pace. Having a private Reiki practice gives personal attention to your needs, allows time for your Reiki healing and new insights to occur. Reiki healing over time can facilitate and nurture being more present in our lives. I enjoy seeing clients every other week to ensure there is support for your personal Reiki healing and spiritual upliftment. I offer in addition for those interested in my Reiki practice, the possibility of creating a daily spiritual practice that works best for you. We can discuss together what would be most enjoyable for you during our Reiki sessions.

As a Reiki Master I have found joy in helping women to have a better centered feeling of believing in themselves. One of my main focuses in my Reiki practice is to offer self empowerment for women. With the option to follow a daily spiritual practice as support, you can build a stronger sense of self worth and confidence. With Reiki healing sessions we can explore creative ways that work for you in discovering self loving practices to incorporate into your life. By supporting a connection to our hearts through Reiki healing, this allows a deeper self authenticity and compassion for ourselves.

Some of the self love practices that we can explore are different for everyone to what fits best. I offer self love journaling, creating a fun altar for personal spiritual connection, supportive reading material to help facilitate growth and breathing meditation exercises. I am excited to explore the possibilities with you.
