What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese form of Energy Healing that was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. Reiki translated is “Universal Life Force Energy”. The energy does not come from the practitioner-they are only the catalyst for the energy.
Reiki is a natural healing modality that can help you relax, calm the mind, help bring emotional balance, clarity, self awareness, support healing and pain management. Reiki also balances the chakras and auric field.
Disclaimer:
Reiki complements all other types of medical and therapeutic treatments. reiki treatment should not be used as a substitute for consultation of a physician, a practitio- ner of natural therapeutics or a psychotherapist. reiki can increase the efficacy of other types of healing.
What do I need to prepare for a Distance Energy Healing Session?
Relax and Reflect-Give yourself at least 15 minutes prior to the session to sit and reflect. Check in with how your body is feeling and take note of any emotions, thoughts, or physical sensations you are experiencing. Think about what your intention is for giving yourself this gift of Reiki healing. If you can journal this, it can only make this intention stronger.
Get Comfortable- grab your favorite blanket pillow, pair of headphones, dim lighting. You’ll want to be sure you've eaten and hydrated a few hours before the session
Turn any devices off or ‘do not disturb’. Do what you need to do to ensure any people or animals in your environment will not disturb you during this time. Additionally, you may listen to low playing music,light a candle, have a journal and pen near you to write after your session.
How often should I see you for Reiki?
That is totally up to you. You can come when you feel called. Please read the disclaimer and know that this compliments other modalities and these sessions shouldn’t be your only resource for relaxation.

How does distance energy healing work?
“Distance Reiki works according to an ancient principle called the Hermetic Law of Similarity, which holds that we are all connected, as we are all made of energy and part of a larger whole. Invoking this law during a distance Reiki session allows the practitioner to link up to the energy field of the recipient.”-Mindbodygreen
