A healer does not heal you.
A healer is someone who holds space for you while you awaken your inner healer,
so that you may heal yourself.

What is Reiki?
(ray-kee)
Reiki, pronounced ray-key, is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us. The word Reiki is comprised of two Japanese words – Rei, which is interpreted to mean God’s Wisdom or Higher Power and Ki, which is life force energy that flows through all living things. This life force is also known as chi, prana, white light or subtle energy. The translation of Reiki is actually spiritually guided life force energy or universal life energy.
The Reiki technique is a laying-on-of-hands method of healing that is easy to learn and perform. Its goal is to reunite the body, mind and spirit within the deepest physical, emotional and spiritual levels of the individual.
The recipient remains clothed (unless Reiki is incorporated into massage therapy) and will lie down or sit on a chair. The healing practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation involved with Reiki.
Reiki treats the whole person – body, emotions, mind and spirit – creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. A treatment often feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki is not a religion and is adaptable to the practitioner’s individual belief system.
With good intent, Reiki energy can be used to heal self or others. Reiki enhances traditional or alternative medical care by speeding the healing process. It also provides a means of restoring energy while one is recuperating from a medical procedure or treatment. Reiki is calming, relaxing and balancing, and it can be used anytime and anywhere.
For a distant healing session, we will schedule a time that is convenient for you to relax undisturbed for the length of your session. As part of this service, I provide any guidance and messages that I receive during the session. Once the session is complete, I will email you an mp3 file via Hightail as well as contact you via phone to discuss your session. If you prefer, a distant healing session can also be conducted while we are both on Zoom. Donation-based group distant healing sessions are held periodically as well.
