New: Reiki Classes & Individual Training in 2018
Reiki is a powerful practice for healthy mental & emotional balance and for experiencing inner peace. I've enjoyed offering private Reiki Healing sessions over the last 18 years. But now the time has come to evolve these into direct personal Reiki trainings. There are many wonderful benefits to receiving a Reiki session. People often share with me how good they feel for days, weeks or months after their session. In a few cases, clients have said that just one session altered the course of their life in some positive way! Through it all, the most important thing I've come to understand is that real, permanent inner change takes practice. And most importantly it involves ongoing self-effort.
If you want long lasting, life altering results, you have to go beyond just receiving sessions from someone else. The real mastery is in learning how to heal yourself. And self healing requires having personal-growth tools to use every day of your life. The best tools will help you find inner peace, clarity, wisdom and a sense of purpose, even when the outside world around you looks like turmoil. We can (and should) make our best effort to try to change the outside circumstances of our life if we are not happy with it. But even when we do make those outer changes, many people ultimately find that they still feel a sense of emptiness, pain, and suffering inside themselves. Living becomes a never-ending struggle of trying to make the outside of our life "just right", thinking that this will change our inner mental - emotional landscape. It might, but often this effect is only temporary. Once the illusion fades, we move on to the next struggle, finding new things that make us unhappy. Many people spend their whole lives in this never-ending cycle.
The only way to get out of this cycle of suffering is to go inwards and find your true self: That spiritual part of yourself that is nothing but pure peace and deep, replenishing silence. I want to empower you with Meditation and Energy-Healing tools that will help you do this so that you can work continuously on healing yourself. Practicing Reiki every day is a profound way to make this inward journey towards an experience of freedom and happiness that is rooted purely within, and not dependent on external circumstances. In order to help you get there faster, I am no longer offering stand-alone private Reiki sessions. I will be offering sessions only as part of Reiki Training where you will learn to become a practitioner yourself, in addition to receiving personal treatments. The Reiki Course will be released in Summer of 2018. It will be a combination of online course work, in-person sessions and Reiki Initiations. The course will be kept affordable and you can complete Level 1, 2, or 3, on your own time and according to your own schedule.
Thank you for your patience as I prepare to release the course. If you've had a session with me in the past and need a follow up appointment right away, I can still work with you now. Call me directly to set this up. For all new clients: I look forward to seeing you very soon when the course opens in a few months. Feel free to contact me through our email form. Let me know you are interested in the course and be sure to include all of your contact info.

What is Reiki and how does it work?
Reiki, (pronounced Rey-Key), is an energy healing technique developed in Japan by Mikao Usui. Reiki is a Japanese word that means: "Spiritual or Sacred Energy." We are alive because life force is flowing through us and around us. Also known as Prana or Qi, Life force flows within the physical body through pathways called Nadis, Meridians and Chakras. This is known as our Subtle Energy Body System and includes 4 layers: Physical, Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual. This life force system nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. Although not recognized in Western Medicine, it s common knowledge in Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, and other Eastern forms of healing. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the concept of Meridian Energy Channels is the fundamental basis for Acupuncture treatments.
This Subtle Energy Body is responsive to thoughts and feelings. When we are under stress, or in crisis, it becomes disrupted by the intense charge of our emotional state. And it is affected by the powerful focus of our mental thoughts. This can happen either consciously or unconsciously. Either way, the thoughts and feelings attach themselves to our energy field, and depending on their nature, they can cause a disruption in the flow of life force. Because the Energy Body is like a template for our physical body, energetic problems can build up over time before manifesting physically. Likewise, old physical problems that won't clear up, may be aggravated by severe blockages energetically. So not only can negative beliefs and programming manifest as problems in the physical body, they also cause a lot of mental and emotional suffering.

Reiki for Balancing EnergyEnergy Healing assists us in changing these thoughts and programming. The programs come from many sources such as our ancestors, our current (or past) lifetime, and from Collective Consciousness. Reiki can help bring us back to wholeness by flowing through the affected areas of the energy field, opening blockages, and charging the entire system with light. This is like cleaning the dirt off a light bulb and increasing the wattage. By introducing a greater intensity of light through Reiki, the vibratory energy field is raised, causing negative energy to break apart and fall away. Reiki can target the subtle energy of the body, purge stagnant Qi out of the Meridian channels, increase vitality and balance the whole system. This type of work clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, allowing the life force to flow in a more free and natural way. It goes beyond treating symptoms; it seeks out the root energetic cause of the disruption and helps us to process and heal on deeper levels than just addressing physical problems at the physical level. By diving into these deeper layers of our internal truth, we can begin to restore balance to Mind-Body-Spirit and bring joy and peace of mind back into our life.
Chakra BalancingChakras (a Sanskrit term & Ayurvedic concept) are the main energy centers in your Subtle Body System. Many people want to know if "Chakra Balanicing" is included in a Reiki session. The answer is YES. The chakras of each person are often a storehouse of deeper information telling a story about where the Qi is blocked, and why. They serve as a direct map pointing at the current state of harmony or dysfunction. And they contain knowledge: An understanding of what the imbalance is about and what the deeper, unfolding spiritual correlation may be. They also contain the keys to transformation, showing where the energy needs to open, renew and re-align itself. Reiki naturally works through Chakra issues.

What is it like to receive an Energy Healing treatment?
We each experience Energy Healing in a very personal way. Many people feel a wonderful sense of peace. Others experience a permanent rising of their consciousness. Every Reiki experience is unique. Karmic deposits can be rooted out, old emotions can be released, and attachments can be cleared. How much this happens depends on the degree to which a person has openness, intention, and a willingness to transform. When we are open, receptive, and willing to self-heal, Reiki can be very powerful. It's an effective way to move through difficulty, access profound realizations and create vibrational change. Using Energy Work along with other forms of healing can help us to maintain excellent health and well-being. Some of the results we've seen include:
