Reiki is a holistic therapy modality where I, a certified Reiki practitioner, move stagnant, stuck, or toxic energy from your body by connecting with your own energy.  We all have a physical body, and we all have an energy body.  Energy travels throughout our 12 meridian channels and 7 chakras which act as the gate keepers for energy flow.  When we are tense, stressed, have experienced trauma or deep emotions, our chakras get blocked interfering with the flow of energy. These energy blockages can lead to all kinds of physical and emotional ailments including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, fatigue, brain fog, painful joints, chronic illness, digestive issues, __________.  Reiki is the practice of going deeper, beyond your physical body into your energy body to open energetic blockages, kind of like unclogging a clogged pipe. You may feel a tingling or warm sensation during the session of restored energy flowing through your body.

Reiki is has been historically associated with Mikao Usui, a Japanese practitioner, who is credited with discovering the chakra root system.  His tradition and methods were passed through several grandmasters of Reiki.  Today, Reiki takes many forms, however, the Usui System of Natural Healing is still the form most widely practiced. 

​

Reiki combines the Japanese and Chinese word-characters of "rei" (spiritual or supernatural) and "ki" (vital energy). One of the basic ideas held by those who practice Reiki is that this vital energy can be channeled to support the body's natural ability to heal itself.
