Healing Arts

I’ve been a licensed Reiki Practitioner since 2003. My journey began with a personal search to heal and expand my own life. Admittedly, I had some reservations about this hands-on treatment with the weird sounding name — it all seemed a little woo-woo at first. But my curiosity (and desire to add to my “toolbox” of ways to navigate this crazy thing called life) kept me moving forward. Somewhere along the way, the client became the practitioner.

So what is this thing called Reiki?

The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word Rei, which means “Universal Life” and Ki which means “Energy.” Reiki has been around for thousands of years and was rediscovered in the mid-1800’s by the Japanese Buddhist monk, Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion.

Contrary to what some may think, it’s not a massage, but rather a gentle “laying on of hands” to help unblock an individual’s life force energy. Sounds a little out there, right? But the proof is in the results. A typical Reiki session can help ease stress and support the body’s natural ability to heal on all levels — physical, mental, and emotional.

During our initial meeting I’ll explain what to expect and check in with you about any issues or goals you’d like to focus on during your session.

Each session is about 60 minutes long. You remain fully clothed, so if that’s something you were feeling a little weird about, no need to worry, because the only thing you’ll be taking off is your shoes.

You’ll rest comfortably on a massage table. Sessions can be hands-on (with light touch) or hands-off (where my hands are slightly above your body) — it’s entirely up to you, and we can even combine both. The beauty of Reiki is that there is no right or wrong way.

I’ll move through a series of standard Reiki hand positions, beginning at your head or feet. You might feel warmth, tingling, or simply deep relaxation. Most people find the experience soothing, peaceful, and rejuvenating.

Benefits of a Reiki healing session:
* Promotes deep relaxation and stress relief
* Helps reduce anxiety, depression, and emotional tension
* Assists the body’s natural healing process
* Improves sleep, mood, and overall well-being

After the session we’ll take a few moments to discuss your experience and I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

Price: $60 per session*

* This rate is intentionally lower than what most practitioners charge. My goal is to make healing accessible to those in need. Having faced my own struggles in life, I understand that financial hardship can sometimes stand in the way. Because of that, I offer Reiki on a sliding scale — please don’t let money keep you from giving yourself this gift of healing.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a session, please don’t hesitate to CONTACT me.
