Reiki

Founded by Mikao Usui, Reiki (pronounced Raykey) which means universal life force is a Japanese healing system in which the practitioner uses her hands to transfer universal energy to the person receiving the treatment. This flow of energy works to release physical, emotional, and mental blocks in the body. Reiki treatments are offered with minimal touch which allows me to work above the aura to prevent potential problems from manifesting in the physical body. Reiki brings balance back into the body by tapping into the body's ability to heal itself.

Due to the stress and the fast pace of modern life, our bodies, emotions, and minds often have trouble coping. Reiki is an excellent, safe, and natural way to heal and rejuvenate the body on all levels. Physically, Reiki reduces aches and pains and helps the body fight disease. Emotionally, Reiki facilitates the release of unhealthy emotions whenever you are ready to let go of them. Mentally, Reiki aids in clarity, focus, and in finding solutions to problems. The beauty of Reiki is that it flows to wherever it is needed in the body regardless of where the practitioner’s hands are.

Note: Reiki doesn't conflict with any other type of therapy whether it's medical or alternative.

How does Reiki work on relationships (with family, friends, and/or partners)?

When two people are having trouble communicating, Reiki will break up the energy that is blocking them from resolving the conflict. It opens a pathway for them to talk and find a solution that’s for the highest good of both concerned.

Note: Reiki is merely one other tool available to us. It doesn't replace counseling or therapy. However, it may open the lines of communication enough for two people to agree to get some professional help.
