Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, which is a subset of alternative medicine.

I am trained and practice the principles founded by Mikao Usui. Mikao Usui was a renowned Tendai Buddhist and the founder of the spiritual practice what we know today as “Reiki”. He was born on August 15, 1865, in the Yamagata region in Japan. His family was of Buddhist traditions and lived there for 11 generations.  

As a Reiki practitioner, I use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal energy” is transferred through my palms and received by my client in order to encourage emotional and physical healing. The treatment can also be performed with palms slightly off the client if the client would prefer.

The term “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Some practitioners describe reiki as acupuncture without the needles. It’s based on an Eastern medicine belief that living beings have energy fields that support their health and vitality. Energy blocks, on the other hand, impede the innate flow of energy, causing not only health problems but also negative life circumstances like financial troubles or relationship problems.

Energy blocks of any living being can be treated, which is why some practitioners also work on animals and plants. Reiki practitioners focus on sensing energy blocks and moving the energy for the greatest good of the client

Reiki is a beautiful treatment that encourages healing for the mind, body, and spirit. Reiki is easy to receive and feels gentle and peaceful but can yield powerful shifts which encourage positive change. Reiki is an exquisite energy healing technique I want to share with others so they too can feel the benefits of a deeper connection within themselves.
