How does it work?
Reiki restores and balances one’s physical, mental, and emotional energies. It puts one’s physical body in the best condition to promote healing.
Why does it work?
The reason that Reiki works is that it connects the universal life force energy with the body’s innate (inborn) powers of healing. Reiki also induces the relaxation response and puts the body in the best condition for healing. And we know that it is the body that eventually heals itself. The body’s innate intelligence regulates the amount of Reiki that one receives and where it goes so one cannot give or receive too much Reiki.

What can I expect?
The session will begin with a quick discussion about Reiki and the process. You will lay on the massage table or sit in a chair and I will use my hands to send energy into your body by moving my palms from the top of your head to your feet. My hands will generally be 2-4″ above your body and you will feel nothing but a little heat. Occasionally, particularly at the feet, I will place my hands directly on your skin or clothing. Most likely, you will fall asleep and feel refreshed and relaxed when you wake up.
Will it interfere with my medical treatments?
No. Reiki speeds up the process of healing and can be used in conjunction with many medical technologies, and therapies, as well as psychological counseling, to bring about healing. It is not a substitute for medical care.
