Reiki is a universal energy and it is a healing technique. The word ‘reiki’ means universal life force energy, and the Usui System of Natural Healing was developed in 1922 by Dr. Mikao Usui. Reiki is a Japanese method of energy healing where Reiki universal energy is directed through my hands to you. As the practitioner, I act as an observer, a channel for this energy to move through – yet it is you, the client who draws in and directs the energy needed for your own healing.

During a Reiki treatment, you lie on a massage table and you are fully clothed. Except in a few positions, the treatment is mostly hands-off - I work with your energy field by placing my hands above you.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive and non-manipulative healing modality where all aspects of the self are treated. It can complement and does not interfere with other healing methods, either holistic or conventional medicine. It is a common experience during a Reiki treatment to enter a meditative state, experiencing deep relaxation and peace.

What takes place during a Reiki session transpires on a higher level of consciousness to direct your well-being so that you can re-discover your inner balance and harmony.

Reiki may be beneficial for:

• Eliminating migraines and headaches
• Reducing stress, providing a clearer and more grounded perspective
• Decreasing anxiety
• Accelerating healing of various injuries
• Spiritual connection

Reiki treatments can be scheduled for 45 minutes or 1 hour.

Treatments are typically at my studio at Open Arms Yoga, or I can travel to your home or personal space for sessions.

As a registered Reiki Teacher through the Canadian Reiki Association, I offer Reiki classes for those wanting to offer this healing energy to friends, family, or in a therapeutic practice. Please see the Events section on the website or call for more information.
