Reiki (RAY- kee) is a profound healing practice that traces its source to the ancient Eastern cultures and their philosophies. Mikao Usui, a late-nineteenth century Japanese teacher and scholar, received a spiritual calling to study and understand the truths of these teachings so that he could then bring this formerly hidden healing practice to the rest of humanity. After years of study of both ancient and contemporary texts, Dr. Usui finally penetrated the secrets surrounding the way in which this healing manifests and, through his meditative practice, found the way to bring the healing art of Reiki out into the world.

The term Reiki is actually two Japanese ideograms that in English mean universal life energy. Reiki is not massage or hypnosis, and a Reiki practitioner cannot diagnose an illness or prescribe treatment for an illness. However, a series of Reiki sessions can bring great, lasting health to you whether you choose to use it alone or as an enhancement to any other healing modality. You will begin to experience the increased sense of peace and ease that you have been seeking in all the areas of your life.

A Reiki session can be the most soothing experience of your day; one that offers you a time to relax and draw your focus inward. Wear comfortable clothes since you will be lying on a table or sitting in a chair. An appointment lasts about an hour and our time together includes a conversation before the session about your current issues and concerns and time after the Reiki session, when we can talk over anything that seems important about the experience. If you choose, we can also create an affirmation to use during the session and in the days that follow. Receiving the affirmation during the time you are receiving Reiki benefits you in a very direct and powerful way. Taking the affirmation card with you serves as a reminder of its message and of the healing qualities of the Reiki session itself.

Each time I channel Reiki, I receive clear, Angelic guidance that enables me to focus the energy flow. This means that during each Reiki session, you receive exactly what you need in that moment to help you heal and move forward in your life. I am often given observations and suggestions by my spiritual guides that I will make available to you if you wish. This information can enable you to continue the work of the Reiki in between sessions, as you continually increase your access to your own inner resources of healing energy.

Many people who come to me for Reiki are healers themselves. They are seeking the next steps on their path, sometimes with confusion or difficulty. Working with the indications of my Angelic guides, I can give you the time and space you require to receive the insights you need to move through the next gate, no matter how challenging a barrier it may seem. Reiki's ability to bring you to these places of transformation in the gentlest possible way is absolutely profound and unlike any other.

As I guide you into the flow of Reiki, relaxation washes over you. Tense muscles let go; your breathing becomes steady and deep. Thoughts that were racing through your mind just seconds before slowly drift away. Your body releases pain and stress. You are now free to discover your own inner sanctuary of calm and peace. Let Reiki guide you to this newly found center where you can call forth the guidance you need to continue your healing journey of positive change.

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on healing technique that brings deep relaxation to the body, mind, and spirit through the chakras, the body's energy centers. During a Reiki session in my office or during a long-distance session, I channel this energy for you. There is no manipulation or massage involved. The relaxation that Reiki brings is often immediate - many people fall asleep on my table. It is through this deep relaxation that your body can begin its task of healing.
