What is Reiki?
The word Reiki is often translated as “universal life force energy.” It is a practice that works with this vital energy, supporting its natural flow through the body and all levels of our being to encourage greater balance, harmony, and wholeness.
One of the things I value most about Reiki is its wholistic approach. Rather than looking at one part of us in isolation, Reiki works with the understanding that our physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and energetic experiences are deeply interconnected. When we experience stress, overwhelm, grief, trauma, illness, or other significant life experiences, they can affect us on many different levels. Within the Reiki tradition, these experiences may also be understood as affecting the flow of our life force energy, resulting in areas of imbalance, depletion, or stagnation.
But Reiki isn't simply about moving stagnant or blocked energy. On a deeper level, it gives us an opportunity to look at the whole picture rather than focusing only on what is happening on the surface. As we bring greater awareness and flow to the energetic body, we may begin to notice what lies beneath a physical or emotional experience—our patterns, beliefs, feelings, relationships, and the ways we have learned to move through the world.
Once something comes into our awareness, we have an opportunity to work with it and create change through conscious choice. Sometimes what comes forward is physical. Sometimes it is emotional, mental, spiritual, or something that is difficult to put into words.
We don't always know what we need when we arrive, and we don't have to. Reiki creates space to listen to the whole of ourselves and allow what is ready to be noticed to come forward.
Reiki has been part of my life and practice for more than 15 years, and it has profoundly shaped the way I understand healing. I don't see my role as fixing you or telling you what is wrong. My role is to create a safe, grounded space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore whatever is asking for your attention.
Sometimes that simply means deep rest. Sometimes it opens the door to something much deeper.
What might Reiki support?
People come to Reiki for many different reasons. Sometimes there is a particular experience or concern they want to explore. Other times, they simply know they haven't felt quite like themselves and need some space to reconnect.
Reiki may be especially supportive during times when you are feeling:
overwhelmed or emotionally depleted
disconnected from yourself or your sense of direction
stressed, restless, or unable to truly settle
affected by grief, change, or a difficult life transition
physically or emotionally exhausted
caught in recurring patterns, thoughts, or beliefs
in need of space to process and move through emotions
curious about the deeper relationship between your body, emotions, mind, and spirit
called toward greater self-awareness, balance, and personal growth
It can also be a beautiful complement to other forms of personal, spiritual, and health care.
You don't have to arrive with a specific problem to work on. Sometimes the most valuable thing we can do is create enough space to slow down and notice what is actually happening within us.
What does a Reiki session look like?
You remain fully clothed and comfortably supported on a treatment table, with blankets available if you'd like them.
We'll begin with some time to check in and talk about how you're doing and anything you'd like to bring into the session. From there, most of our time is spent in quiet, allowing us to settle deeply into the work.
Reiki is a gentle practice. There is no manipulation of the body or massage involved. During a session, I use light touch or hold my hands just above the body, allowing the Reiki energy to flow where it is needed.
Some people experience this physically as warmth, tingling, pulsing, coolness, or a sense of movement. Others notice very little sensation at all, but may experience deep relaxation, stillness, emotion, imagery, or a sense of being more settled within themselves.
I work intuitively throughout the session, paying attention to what I sense within the energetic field and allowing the session to unfold rather than following a rigid sequence.
Afterwards, we'll take a little time to come back into the room and reflect on anything you noticed or experienced, as well as anything I may have observed during the session.
Reiki alongside other care
Reiki can be received alongside other forms of health care and personal support. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or replace medical or mental health care, but can be used as a complementary practice alongside the care you are already receiving.
If you're navigating a health concern, emotional difficulty, or other significant experience, we can explore what is arising within the Reiki session while you continue to work with the appropriate health-care professionals.
How often should I come?
There is no prescribed schedule for Reiki.
Some people come for a single session when they are moving through a particular experience, feeling depleted, or looking for a place to pause. Others return regularly as part of their ongoing self-care, personal growth, or spiritual practice.
If you're exploring something more deeply, we may meet more regularly for a period of time while still allowing space between sessions to rest, reflect, and integrate what emerges.
A little about my relationship with Reiki
Reiki was one of the first alternative practices I ever explored, and it truly opened the door to the work I do today. After more than 15 years of practising and teaching Reiki, I still believe in its ability to guide us into a deeper connection with all aspects of our being—to bring awareness to where we hold trauma, release what no longer serves us, and cultivate the space we need to heal.
Although my practice has grown to include many other modalities, my respect and love for Reiki remain the same. It continues to be a foundation and a core part of the work I do.
What I value most is that Reiki doesn't require us to have all the answers. It gives us a place to slow down, be witnessed, and listen to what is happening within us, so that we can begin to see what is possible and choose a new path.
Come as you are
You don't need to know exactly what you need before you book a Reiki session.
You can arrive tired, overwhelmed, curious, hopeful, disconnected, or simply ready for some quiet time.
Just come as you are, and we'll begin there.
