Reiki is an ancient and gentle Japanese therapy for stress reduction, relaxation and overall healing physically and emotionally.
Pronounced as Raý Key, the term is composed of two Japanese words – Rei which means “Higher Power” and Ki which is “Life Force Energy.” Through hands-on touch, vital energy can be channeled to support the body's natural ability to heal itself.
This benign healing technique is becoming more and more popular as it produces renewal and the release of negative emotions. It has also been used in hospitals around the world to promote a feeling of well being while self healing is taking place.
Please understand that Reiki isn’t a substitute for medicine and cannot treat symptoms or a condition which should be seen by a licensed or medical professional.
WHAT IS REIKI?

DO I NEED TO BE RELIGIOUS TO EXPERIENCE REIKI?
While the practice was created from a spiritual base and is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. Reiki is a universal practice
that is available to everyone.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A TYPICAL SESSION?
Each session will be a unique experience depending on the person and what you are looking to heal or work on.
-
Maybe you are looking to bring more balance into your life and you need assistance in gaining clarity on next steps
-
You’re experiencing insomnia or suffering from headaches and looking to explore the root and regain serenity
-
You are navigating through a difficult relationship with a loved one
Reiki can help bring compassion to the situation so you can bring healing into the relationship.
In a standard session, you may either lie on a massage table or sit on a chair, if this is a preference. You will remain fully clothed. With permission, I will place my hands either on or near your body in a series of hand positions. These will include placing my hands on your head, shoulders or legs and feet. You may feel warmness or a vibration as I move over you – this is the universal life energy (chi) being channeled through your body. As the energy works through you, you may feel tension releasing from your body -- some may even drift off to sleep. At the end of the session, we will go through any feelings, thoughts or questions you may have.
The whole session usually lasts from 75 to 90 min.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY SESSION?
Again, each session will invoke a different experience as Reiki engages the body’s self-healing mechanisms.
You may leave the session feeling relaxed, or you may feel hungry and have a burst of energy. However, sometimes the body may need to eliminate toxins or integrate well-being on a deeper level. In this instance, the body may go into what is called a healing crisis. In this state, it is possible to feel fatigue or a feeling as if you are coming down with something. Not to worry, these crises are usually short.
Have you ever walked into a house and thought it felt nice and airy. Alternatively, have you walked into a room after friends/family have had a heated discussion and you felt the heat or coldness fill the air?
As we learn in science class, everything and everyone is made up of Energy. The same building blocks that composes our body is the same physical process that helps cars to move and nourishes plants, etc. This energy never dies or dissipates it just takes different forms. And if strong enough it can leave an imprint on a space including homes and offices.
ENERGY CLEARING + BLESSING
This is why energy clearing may be necessary, especially for those who are sensitive to energy or feelings of other people (Emphatic). Whether we are aware of it or not, we are constantly picking up on other people's energy. For example, you may leave your door for work feeling refreshed and energetic. By the time you enter the office you may have sat in traffic or rode a crowded subway and that energetic feeling may now be replaced with exhaustion or agitation.
Energy is something that we do not see, but feel and it can affect our moods and overall lives. As humans we pick up on so many stimuli and emotions -- from work, relationships, other people, even social media. Energy is constantly attaching itself to you.
With energy clearing, you will lift the feelings and emotions that do not "belong" to you and experience instant relief from stress, anxiety or heavy feelings.
For homes, I help to remove heavy energy that may impact how you "live" in a space.
It is most likely the case you live in a space someone else occupied before you. And you need more than a fresh coat of paint to make your place feel like "home."
I remember when I was buying my apartment there were two spaces I had to choose from -- they were exactly alike just one floor a part from the other. The first place I looked at felt open, bright and welcoming. I found myself interior designing the space in my head. The other space did not feel like home everything felt off to me and my mood dropped instantly. While this space was cheaper there was energy in place that impacted how I felt overall.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN AN ENERGY HEALING SESSION?
During a session, I begin by walking through the house, land or office and will energetically shift heavy or unwanted energy from the property. Next, I provide a blessing making sure to clear every room, closet, attic, basement and garage. After the space has been cleared, I can provide 15 minutes of Reiki to an individual to ensure any remaining low-vibrational energy is cleared from both the home and occupants. Finally I will offer some tips and tools you may be able to use to maintain peace and harmony for yourself, family or business.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AFTER A CLEARING SESSION?
Once the session is complete you will notice the energy in your office and home shift more positively.
You may no longer feel anxiety or may find yourself wanting to spend more time indoors. For those who work in a space that has been cleared, you will often feel happier, more productive or will leave work not feeling drained.
For homes being prepped for a sale, prospective buyers will find the house more inviting or it may sell quicker.
Sometimes, a return visit may be needed if your space has a lot of people moving in and out (e.g. condo, apartment building, store, etc.) and you are not able to implement the tools/practices shared during the first visit. If a return is needed, it will not take long.
CAN CLEARINGS BE DONE REMOTELY LIKE REIKI?
Yes. A blessing/clearing of the space may be done remotely or in person and will receive the same energy and intention. I prefer to conduct clearings in-person so that I may easily answer questions and show you tips on how to help clear spaces yourself.
