Reiki
What is Reiki?
Simply put, it’s love-filled, light-drenched energy.
The word “Reiki” means “life force energy” or “Universal life energy”.
Reiki is a healing energy technique that was developed in Japan in the 1920s as a means to bring energetic balance to the body. The practice is based on the ancient premise that everything is energy.
This non-invasive therapy uses gentle hand movements to guide energy within the body, often resulting in healing physical pain, emotional blocks, enhancing relaxation and wellbeing, or generally raising your vibration.
The Reiki practitioner is attuned to act as a conduit to channel this life force energy to aid in removing spiritual, emotional, or even physical blocks in the receiver’s body.
The magical thing about Reiki is that it can be done both in person, or at a distance. This means that you can enjoy all the benefits of Reiki from anywhere, anytime, so long as you are willing to open yourself to receive.
After all, time and space are just human constructs… energy is always flowing around us. We only have to set the intention to shift our own vibration and frequency and trust that the Universe will provide.

How does distance Reiki work?
Think of a cell phone or Wi-Fi.
It’s not necessary to be in physical proximity to a caller to talk on a cell phone or for an internet user to be right next to a router, as cell phones and Wi-Fi use electromagnetic radio waves to connect with other devices.
Similarly, Reiki recipients do not need to be in physical proximity to Reiki practitioners to receive Reiki, just as practitioners don’t need to be near recipients to send it.
It works because we are all energy and we are all one. Reiki invites us to tap into that.
Some reasons people choose to receive Reiki:
To ease anxiety, stress, anger, or other emotional states of distress.
To help them sleep more peacefully.
To enhance their vibration to a higher frequency, growing in radiance, love, & “God energy”.
To ease physical pain.
To support healing.
To support spiritual growth.
To improve their sense of grounding, peace, relaxation, & joy.
Is it right for me? What is a session like?
Reiki is for everyone and it cannot harm you in any way.
Much like prayer, this invisible force of love & light has been known to perform miracles in healing both physical and emotional symptoms in the body.
If you are open to the gifts that reiki offers, it is for you.
A session with me begins with 10 minutes of conversation, checking in around your current energetic & emotional state & anything you’re hoping to clear or tend to during our time together. Then you’ll be asked to sit or lay comfortably & I’ll play soothing music, guide you into a grounded state of relaxation, and spend about 40 minutes sending reiki to you, focusing on any areas in your body that you asked for extra attention with or areas I feel intuitively need more care. All you have to do is receive. The final 10 minutes will be spent with closing conversation. I’ll share any messages that your Guides brought me & you can share your experience or ask any questions you may have.
It is important to note that while some people experience profound healing effects after a single session, most do not. Reiki works to promote healing, and healing is a process that needs to be carried out over a period of time to see results.

My journey to Reiki
I have my Level 2 Usui Reiki certification via Judith Eugene of Loving Hands Reiki & Yoga.
In 2021, after I had my second son, some autoimmune diseases were activated in my body and I was diagnosed with Hashimotos & Hypothyroidism. This paired with the postpartum period created a clash of hormones in my body resulting in a lot of whole body inflammation, weight gain, deep fatigue, and brain fog.
It was during this time that I also felt intense rage in my body— I’d shared with my therapist that it felt like my blood was boiling beneath my skin and I felt like I was going to explode. I physically felt noise in my body. This would be triggered by minor events with my children or husband. As someone who used to be a teacher and had endless patience, compassion, and understanding, this was very unlike me & I felt scared.
My therapist recommended I look into somatic therapy, and I found Reiki & EFT (along with other modalities like breathwork and ecstatic dance).
I saw my practitioner, Judith for about a year before pursuing my Level 1 certification. Receiving Reiki helped me melt away layers of armor I’d created throughout my life as a means of self preservation, but which had come to inhibit me from true liberation, connection, and intimacy. It brought me into closer connection to my spiritual life and not only did I feel a deeper sense of peace, grounding, and joy in my heart, but I also found my way to other healing practices and information that helped me put my Hypothyroidism & Hashimoto’s symptoms into remission.
Eventually, after another couple of years, as my connection to God & the Divine deepened and continued to transform my life and my work, I earned my Level 2 certification, enabling me to offer distance reiki.
I feel called to offer this modality because of how much it has shifted my physical body, spiritual body, and life in general and because I know how much the world is in need of more peace, love, unity, and connection.
