Welcome! I'm so glad that you have come to this page. I hope that you find what you are looking for here with the help of reiki. Below is a brief description of what reiki is, how it works, and what a typical reiki session looks like. I hope it answers any questions you may have but if it doesn't please feel free to send me a message or post your question to the page and I'll be happy to answer it.

Reiki is a subtle and effective form of energy-work that uses universal life force energy, known as "ki" or "chi", to aid in healing the body, mind, and spirit. A reiki session can be beneficial in many ways such as helping to ease tension and stress, supporting and encouraging physical health and healing, boosting the immune system, assisting in understanding and coping with emotions, and bring spiritual enlightenment and fulfillment.

A typical reiki session will last between 30 and 60 minutes. At their first appointment, clients will be asked to complete a health questionnaire and have a discussion with the reiki practitioner to assess areas of the mind, body, and spirit that need healing and that the client would like to work on during his or her sessions. The client will then rest comfortable on a massage table on their backs with their shoes removed, however, clients who cannot lie comfortably on their backs or stomachs may also sit and recline in a chair for their session. No articles of clothing are removed and loose comfortable clothing is recommended. The session will then proceed with the practitioner moving through a series of hand positions and movements, either lightly touching or hovering over various parts of your body. These positions and movements guide the life force energy into and around the client's body so that healing energy may go where it is most needed.

Reiki is a great tool for reducing stress and promoting relaxation and it assists the body in creating a healing environment the client's body and mind. Reiki is a great complement to traditional medicine and is practiced in many medical care settings. However, reiki should not be used as a substitute for qualified and traditional medical care.
