Reiki is an incredibly nurturing stress reduction and relaxation technique that also promotes healing. 

 It is a touch that gently engages the self-healing wisdom from deep within the receiver's system. 

What to expect during a Reiki session:

During a Reiki session you stay fully clothed so comfortable/ athletic type clothing is recommended. Every session is customized to meet your specific needs and concerns so please let me know if you have an energetic or emotional focus, as well as any physical pain or discomfort. This will help me set an intention for the session. I will have you remove your shoes and lie down on the table. A blanket will be available if you would like to be covered up.

I will start and end the session with a chakra assessment using a pendulum. I may do energy clearing by smudging with Sage, Sweetgrass and/ or Palo Santo Wood and Sound Healing with a Singing Bowl. Certain stones and crystals also help your life force energy flow, especially if aligned with specific chakras. Small chakra stones will be placed on your body during the Reiki session to optimize energy flow. The majority of the session will involve light touch using various traditional hand placements and energetic techniques. Your job during a Reiki session is to breathe slow and deep and let the energy work happen; Reiki is a passive form of healing. As a Reiki practitioner I act as a conduit for the universal energy to flow through me and into you, then your body actually does the healing. Feel free to ask questions and let me know what you are experiencing or you can just take it all in.  Pay attention to your energy flow and how you are feeling before and after the session. Someone who is very agitated will likely say after a Reiki session, "I feel calmer, I feel more centered now," while someone who is depressed or lethargic may get up from a Reiki session feeling empowered and motivated.

More on Chakras and energy work: 

There are seven main chakras in the body which vital life force energy (or Chi/ Qi) flow through. Things outside of us like stress or trauma cause our energetic flow to become "gummed up" or out of balance. If the energy in our bodies becomes stagnant or erratic it can manifest physically in our bodies as tension, pain or sickness; or in our minds as depression, anxiety or unrest. By evaluating your energetic flow and giving attention where it is needed this flow can be changed allowing for healing to take place. When your chakras are balanced and your energy is flowing optimally this promotes an overall sense of well-being in the mind, body and soul.
