“Reiki” (ray-key) is a Japanese form of energy healing that originated in the early 20th century. Energy healing is a form of alternative medicine based on the thought that we all have an unseen life force energy flowing through our bodies. It is believed that energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. The goal of Reiki is to balance that energy flow.

As a Reiki practitioner, I use my hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of energy to support healing. During a session, you’ll typically lie down fully clothed, in a comfortable position. I may adjust the lighting, temperature and other environmental variables to make you as comfortable as possible. Next, I gently place my hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations.

Styles and processes of Reiki therapy may vary. To learn more about Reiki, go to Reiki FAQ's.
