What is Reiki?
Reiki is a bio-energy technique used for drawing energy into the practitioners body which is then transferred into the client. It is believed to have originated in Tibetan Monasteries as a method of spiritual development and self healing. Reiki has grown over the years as a technique for sharing these healing energies with oneself and others.  The energy is safe and non-invasive, as you only use a light touch on the body or just above the body to transfer the energy.

Who can benefit from a Reiki treatment?
Anyone! Reiki may reduce stress and increase relaxation as well as complement other medical treatments such as chemotherapy, recovery from surgery, even psychotherapy. Many people myself included, use Reiki to sustain overall health and well-being. Reiki may provide relief for:  Depression or anxiety, tension or stress, physical/emotional trauma or chronic pain. It is recommended that a client receive 3 treatments for the most beneficial results.

Your Reiki Energy Session.
I will begin by answering any questions you may have about myself or Reiki and discuss your needs and expectations regarding the session. If you have never received a Reiki treatment before, I will show you the different hand positions before we begin so you know what to expect. 

Next, you will lie face up on a massage table with a sheet or blanket covering you. There will be soft music playing in the background and sometimes I use essential oils or stones during the session. Please wear whatever clothing is most comfortable for you. There is no need to remove any clothing or jewelry but sometimes it is more comfortable to take off your shoes. The treatment will begin at the head and work down the body until we finish at the feet. When  the top of the body is complete, you will turn over and lie face down on the table. We will start at the head again and work down the back of the body.  After the initial full body treatment is complete, I will spend extra time on any areas causing you pain or problems.

What will I experience during the Reiki treatment?

You will feel my hands lightly touching your body in each of the hand positions .  My hands will begin to feel very warm and the Reiki will begin to flow. Everyone experiences Reiki in a different way, but some consistently reported experiences are:
