What is Reiki?

Reiki is a healing art that works with your energetic field and mind-body system. The outcomes of the practice over time will vary, but may yield a deeper sense of awareness, empowerment, and energy, as well as increased relaxation and reduction of tension.

Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) is a Japanese word consisting of two characters "Rei" and "Ki," meaning “Universal Energy.”

The Reiki healing system is divided into three levels, which have been passed along from Reiki Master to student for the past hundred years since its discovery by Mikao Usui. I am a Level 2 Usui Reiki practitioner.

Reiki is not a substitute for conventional medicine, but it can be a useful complementary therapy for stress, depression, anxiety, grief, and pain.

How does it work?

Reiki is a subtle somatic therapy intended to restore the body’s flow of energy and ability to regulate. Reiki involves the practitioner placing their hands on your body, or in your energetic field, to channel healing where disruptions may be present. The use of touch can be an immensely powerful, ancient tool for healing the mind and body and restoring equilibrium.
