eiki is a vibrational healing art that promotes balance on every level: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and even our interaction with the people and places in our daily lives.
When someone is completely new to Reiki, I sometimes describe a Reiki treatment as something that uses elements from both massage and acupuncture.
It's fairly easy to visualize that Reiki is administered via a series of hand positions on or above the clothed body like massage. Yet it differs significantly from a body massage in that the muscles are not physically manipulated.
Rather, its intention is focused entirely on the vibrational level of our Being which I experience as the “place” that ignites our physical body functions. Similar to acupuncture, without the needles.
A relatively recent acknowledgement within the medical establishment, ancient healing methods such as acupuncture and reflexology rest on the foundation that electrical currents flow throughout our body. These vibrations, or life force, is what animates us. Our survival in physical form depends solely on our ability to receive these life force vibrations.
While Reiki is modern compared to these modalities (it was founded in 1922), it nonetheless adds depth to many of the same principles, techniques and traditions which have been used in many parts of the world for thousands of years.
Currently Reiki is officially classified as a form of energy medicine. It is non-invasive and holistic, making it a perfect complement to medication use, surgery, acupuncture, chemotherapy and even psychotherapy.

hat makes Reiki unique is that it does not diagnose nor attack disease. Instead,
it supports well-being and strengthens our natural ability to heal by
gently encouraging our system toward its own unique balance.
While this may sound foreign at first, especially given our culture's emphasis on finding a pill for almost every imaginable symptom, most people who try Reiki appreciate its effective simplicity.
There are many reasons to schedule a Reiki treatment:
- Stress management
- Sports Injury
- Chronic pain such as headaches, shoulder or back pain
- Chronic illness such as arthritis and colitis
- In preparation for surgery, chemotherapy or radiation.
- While in the midst of chemotherapy or radiation treatments.
- Terminal illness
Your first Reiki treatment will include a discussion about the nature of Reiki, your experience with holistic methods of well-being, and exactly what occurs in a session so you feel completely safe and supported.
Since Reiki is a subtle, cumulative healing modality, it is suggested that you schedule 6 to 8 concurrent daily or weekly treatments to bring your vibrational body into balance. I offer reduced rates for those interested in this form of treatment.
After the concurrent treatment protocol, subsequent treatments on a monthly or quarterly basis will help keep you aligned and humming at optimal healing levels. It may be possible for your Reiki treatments to be reimbursed from your insurance company. I can provide you with the necessary information.
Each person is unique, and so the possibilities of how Reiki can support the healing process are enormous. Why not experience it for yourself? My schedule is scrolling at the top of this page.
