Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing that balances mind, body the emotions and spirit. When your energetic system is clouded or blocked, it can leave you feeling stressed, depressed, detached and can manifest in your physical body. If you are looking for a jump start in your spiritual evolution, Reiki can help bring about change. Reiki helps to strip away that which clouds the vitality and beauty of your true spirit.

Reiki claims no dogma, and although it may help you to connect to a more spiritual life path, it serves all religions.

If you have never experienced a Reiki session, I highly reccomend it. Reiki not only took away a huge amount of stress that lingered in my body, it also helped me to let go of habits and ways of thinking that no longer served me. My first session completely changed my life and I knew immediately that I wanted to teach and practice Reiki myself. Reiki has brought me great joy and strength, and I'd love to share that with you!

My typical appointment lasts an hour or more. This depends on the client's goals. It generally takes the first few minutes to get comfortable, relax, and begin to open to the energy. If you are looking for deep spiritual work, or are working on tackling large issues, I would reccomend a longer appointment, as opposed to several shorter appointments. This is because the energy works at a much deeper level the more you open to it. If you are looking for an intro to Reiki, or want to experience the general effects an hour appointment will give you a great sense of what it is all about.

Most of my Reiki sessions are set to realxing music, although sometimes I am guided to play certain songs for different situations. Unlike massage, Reiki sessions are fully clothed and Reiki does not focus on muscle manipulation.

I typically start out a sessions with you laying on your stomache, then flipping to your back. Because of this, I ask that you dress comfortably (think yoga gear, sweats, or anything without buttons or rivets that may become uncomfortable.) I also suggest that women wear little make-up. While this is up to you, makeup may smudge while using the head rest, or may run if there is any type of emotional release.

Intuitively, I will work with whatever areas on your body I feel most need the energy. You may also have a particular area that you want to work on. Classically, I have been trained to work with the body's chakras, or energy centers that span from the crown of your head down your pelvis. When working with sensitive areas, I am sure be respectful of your body and can work with my hands above an area just as effectively as a hands-on approach.

You may feel my hands become hot or cold. In addition, you may feel like more than one pair of hands is on you, or that my hands are in one place, yet the energy is in another. This is normal, and means that the energy is flowing and moving toward where it is needed most.

You may experience visions or see colors, especially when I work with your heart, neck, and head. This is normal, and a wonderful effect of Reiki. I've often found that these experiences are what lead people to see that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to energy work.

You may experience emotional or energetic releases during the session. Emotional releases may include crying or bursts of laughter. These are merely ways of detaching from, and letting go of energetic patterns. Energetic releases may include: yawning, coughing, sneezing, belching (yes, I'm not kidding) rapid eye movement or sudden jolts or twitches of the body.

During the course of a session, I may have intuitive messages that come thru. These messages are delivered in a loving manner, and are often reminders to you about ways you can maintiain your soul's blissful inner state. Consider them "take home gifts." They can be shared, or withheld at your request.

Near the end of a session, I take care to ground you and bring your energy back to the earth. This allows you to integrate your experience in normal daily life, and also prepares you to safely get home. It is reccomended that you spend time in quiet reflection before getting up at the end of a session.

Afterward, I am available to talk about the session or about life in general. I am also an Ordained Minister and am able to provide spiritual counseling.

I reccomend that all my clients honor themselves in the hours after a session, and take time for quiet reflection. Journaling is a wonderful tool to reflect upon the experience. Special care should be taken to remain hydrated in order to flush any toxins from the body. You may also experience more emotional release as the energy continues to heal in the hours or days following your appointment. Be kind to yourself and honor your work.

Distance healings only differ from regular healings in that they are not hands on. Just like any other Reiki appointment, clients sometimes feel a tremendous amount of energy, and at other times not as much. I believe that much of this is due to the degree of openness of the client, their desire to bring about positive change (even if it means letting go of what no longer serves them), as well as a clients own intimate knowledge of their own energy and it's fluctuations.

As for benefits of distance healing, they are much the same as a regular Reiki appointment.

I do distance healings in much the same manner that I would conduct a regular Reiki session. However, i traditionally have been using a surrogate object in the place of the actual client (such as a teddy bear) and usually ask for a photo/head shot of the client to best help me to connect with their energy field and better visualize where healing may be needed.

As for why distance healing works, I often turn to Quantum Physics to give for best explanation:

In the early 1980’s a team of scientists at the University of Paris made an incredible discovery. They found that under certain circumstances some subatomic particles were able to communicate instantaneously with each other no matter how far apart they were, even if they were millions of miles apart.

In 1997 Nicolas Gisan duplicated these findings and found that some particles seemed to be communicating at 20,000 times the speed of light, a finding that has now been further validated by the September 22nd, 2011 OPERA study that just came out showing that neutrinos (or tiny sub atomic particles) traveled much faster than the speed of light. While the scientific community is still looking for additional results to re-confirm these results, what this means, in laymen's terms is that there is a part of our energy field where we are all interconnected and able to communicate at a rapid, instantaneous pace.

David Bohm, a well known quantum physicist, concluded the reasons why subatomic particles can stay in contact with each other despite vast distances is not because they are transmitting some unknown signal back and forth but because the separateness of the particles is an illusion. He believes that at a deeper level of reality the particles are not even individual entities but are actually extensions of the same fundamental something and that everything in the universe is infinitely interconnected.

To me, that sounds a lot like what mystics and sages from many traditions have said throughout history -- that we are all connected, that nothing is separate.

Because of this, distance healing energy can get transferred over long distances. It doesn’t make any difference if the one transmitting the energy is in a different state or country than the recipient. By tapping into that interconnectedness in the energy field, the practitioner is able to connect with the client to promote harmony, balance, and change within their energy system.

• 60 minute session $65
• 90 minute session $90
• Two hour session $115
• Three hour session $165

Hours in excess of 60 minutes are billed at $50 an hour.

• Distance healing $15

Distance healing is a great way to provide healing to those that cannot come for an in-person appointment. My typical distance healing appointments are 25 minutes or longer, depending on the situation.

I accept cash and check at time of appointment, as well as Pay Pal payments prior to service.
