What is Reiki?
Reiki is an intuitive, hands-on energy healing technique discovered in 1920s Japan by Mikao Usui. With the assistance of his lead students, this method has spread around the world. Reiki practitioners use a soft touch to channel energy through the body, mind, and spirit to promote balance and well-being.

Common questions about Reiki
How does Reiki work?
By directly connecting with your energy bodies, Reiki will facilitate spontaneous flow and healing. Communication with your highest self and your ancestral or spirit guides may provide clarity to unresolved issues.
How can Reiki help me?
Reiki compliments any medical treatment regimen, spiritual practice or personal growth journey. Similar to meditative practices, Reiki stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a sense of wellbeing and ease.
Is Reiki religious?
Although Reiki can be considered a spiritual practice, it is not affiliated with any religious doctrine. Anyone may facilitate or receive Reiki independent of their religion or lineage.
What can I expect?
In a quiet environment, you will be guided into a receptive, relaxed state. Though soft touch or placing hands over the body, energy formations are assessed and therapeutically guided. Most people report feeling deeply relaxed after a session.
How to prepare for a healing session
It's simple: the most important thing is to create the space in your calendar for your appointment. Otherwise, you may want to wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoiding heavy meals and stimulants like caffeine before your session can help you to reach a relaxed state. Planning to arrive a few minutes early will keep from adding unnecessary stress, and silencing your phone will prevent unwanted interruptions. Before your session, there will be time to go over any questions you may have.
