Reiki is a Japanese stress reduction technique that promotes healing. It involves channeling universal life force through one person to another, either in person or at a distance. Reiki is an intelligent energy that will go where it is needed in a person’s body, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects.

At the beginning of a Reiki session, the practitioner discusses the goals of the session with the client. During a Reiki session, you will lie in a comfortable place at home (remote session) while the practitioner channels the energy to you. Please make sure you are in a private space where you won’t be disturbed and that your phone is on silent. The session lasts approximately 60 minutes. You may experience sensations such as warmth, waves of soothing energy, tingling, or deep relaxation. Some people fall asleep. Each experience is unique. Reiki meets you where you are.
