Frequently Asked Questions

What is Reiki?

I am a Usui Reiki Ryoho Master Reiki Teacher. This Reiki practice is an energy healing method that was given to a Japanese doctor, Mikao Usui, on a mountaintop in 1922. It is a gift of acknowledging and feeling the energy system and flow that makes up each being and thing in our world. Reiki sessions are the process of re-balancing someone's energy flow in order to allow self healing by applying spiritually guided life force energy that gives life. Reiki practitioners are trained and attuned to facilitate the Divine energy flow to the individual with the intention of bringing the potential for complete healing for that person's greatest good. Reiki has no religious dogma and promotes peace, love, and harmony through all spiritual traditions.

What does a Reiki session include?

A Reiki session is done in a private room like a massage therapy room. The client remains fully clothed and usually lies down on a massage table to receive treatment. It may be delivered in a sitting position instead, if that is more comfortable for the client. Hands are laid on the body and above the body to clear the energy field of blocks and that which no longer serves you and to deliver Divine energy as a process of re- establishing your own energy flow and balanced rhythm. Often intuitive insights related to your energy flow may be offered if you choose to receive them. In addition, Reiki with Healing Integration Sessions include discussion time to focus the treatment on a specific mental or emotional topic OR to integrate the insights delivered in the session into application for your progressive wellness practice. Reiki with Integration Sessions are 1.5 hours.
