More than anything, Reiki helps clarify how you need to heal and take accountability for your own well being. Yes, Reiki is healing in nature, but I am not a "healer". YOU are the healer.
Reiki is a flow of "Universal Life Force Energy" - kind of like the commonly known term 'chi". It is a safe and natural method of stress reduction and relaxation as well as energetic healing. Treating the whole being - body, mind, emotion and spirit - to help us heal and find peace, clarity, balance and well being by helping remove blockages that may be keeping us from reaching our inner potential.
We all have energy centers and we all have the ability to sense and influence energy. Have you ever walked into a situation or person who gave you a bad or good "feeling". That is energy. It's not hippie-dippy crazy talk, it's a basic truth we're all a part of. Taking responsibility for your energy can be healing on many levels, a Reiki Practitioner is attuned to be more sensitive to this energy and can help.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion, nor is it associated with any religion whatsoever. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn, use, or receive Reiki.

How Is It Done?
The ability to flow Reiki is passed down from Reiki Master to student through different levels of attunement. Once attuned, one has the ability to tap into this Universal Life Force Energy and direct the flow of it. Getting "attuned" is like tuning a radio - the radio waves are already there (even though you can't see them, or really explain them) - all around us all of the time. Getting a radio (your body) gives you access, "tuning in" the dial simply makes the signal clearer.
The energy "flows" to the client through the Reiki Master either in person or through distance. All that is required flow Reiki to ourselves and others is the pure intention of doing so. Reiki then flows to the client to wherever it is needed most within the body and energy field cleansing the aura and chakra system of negative debris while promoting healing on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
General Reiki sessions are very relaxing and will feel like light massage and acupressure. You may experience cold or hot sensations, tingling, or nothing much at all other than deep relaxation. 30 minute sessions are suggested for trying it out or for maintenance while 60 minute sessions are suggested for people working with specific issues.
Reiki Henna Sessions are a general Reiki Session that is finished with a relaxing Henna Session. The henna, itself infused with Reiki energy, and my intention and hands which are still flowing Reiki and in tune to your own energy will give you a henna design that will continue to flow Reiki energy to you for the 1-2 weeks it will stay on your skin as well as serve as a visual reminder to the intentions you have made in your session.

Pregnancy |
Childbirth |
Pregnancy is full of constant change. We benefit from being relaxed and open, helping us keep our energy level up as well as dispel stress properly. Reiki helps you get the most out of your pregnancy experience while assisting through some of it's aches and pains.
Reiki during pregnancy also helps facilitate a bond between you and your baby on many deep levels. Babies love Reiki energy - don't be surprised if you experience an increase in movement during a session! |
Reiki is an extremely helpful tool in labor, helping the mother and partner completely relax into what is going on and “allow” labor progress to happen. Reiki reduces pain, facilitates complete relaxation and heightens the experience as whole for everyone in the room, but particularly for the mother and baby. You can see why we like to use it!
Often times if labor is stuck, Reiki is a great tool to communicate with your body and work the situation out. We have witnessed truly amazing things happen when using Reiki for birth. There are times when a mother would not want to be touched during labor – it would just throw her off from getting within herself. Reiki is a wonderful substitute as it does not require anything hands-on. Most of the time no one even knows we're doing it, they just know they feel good or better. There is nothing "special" or "ritualistic" we do to incorporate this - it's not something that people get uncomfortable around (in case you're worried). |
How Reiki Found Me
I have a hard time explaining Reiki to people who do not understand the basic concept of energy. This is mostly because I am also a generally skeptical sort of person who is willing to explore just about anything, but, will examine it carefully and only subscribe to it if I experience it's truth.
Honestly, I was never really interested in it until I was given the opportunity by a well known Reiki Master/Teacher and Intuitive who was my client at the time to learn. After having a very real experience with a previous client who had brought in an Aunt who was an Energy Worker and seeing first hand how we could "tune in" to her needs (and completely avoid an impending Cesarean and a very rude doctor), I was convinced there was something to this. So, when I was given the opportunity by Karen Hays, I took it. Ever since then I have absolutely experienced it working for me and my clients in the most beautiful ways.
