Energy Healing
“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
-Albert Einstein

**Please Note: Marriage and Family Therapy is regulated by the Department of Health and I have specific ethical and practice codes as a licensed therapist and a Certified Sex Therapist. Energy Healing and Spiritual Counseling are not regulated practices. For this reason, I cannot see a client for both sex therapy and hands on energy healing work.
What is Reiki?
Reiki offers a different way to be helpful, by working with energy. Energy work helps to harness our body's inherent desire to heal and move through illness and imbalance. It is not therapy or medical treatment and is not intended to take the place of medical or psychological care. No specific religious or spiritual practice or belief system is promoted or required to receive and benefit from Reiki.
What is Shamanism?
Shamans have traditionally been healers in indigenous communities with expanded sensory experiences cultivated through direct connection with nature. Reiki comes from the Japanese words “rei” meaning universal, and “ki” meaning life force energy. Shamanic Reiki utilizes both nature elements and working with universal life force energy to support healing.
What is an energy healing session like?
You will be greeted warmly and spend much of the session in quiet relaxation on a Reiki table while fully clothed. Your practitioner may lightly lay hands on or just above different areas of your body. You may feel some tingling sensations or nothing at all while receiving Reiki. Most people become very relaxed. Receiving Reiki is a subjective experience, so it's difficult to predict exactly how you will feel. Having an open mind to it's potential may offer you better results.
Are there any health risks to Reiki?
Because there is nothing about a Shamanic Reiki session that can interfere with conventional medical care, Reiki has no known contraindications and can be used concurrently with any medical intervention.
Benefits of Shamanic Reiki
Specific benefits you may experience from Shamanic Reiki include:
DEEP RELAXATION AND STRESS REDUCTION: Induces deep relaxation, which strengthens the immune system’s ability to respond to daily stressors.
RELEASE OF PAIN AND DISCOMFORT: Chronic discomfort and pain can be eased as the body’s natural healing mechanisms are supported.
RELEASE OF BLOCKED MEMORIES: Energy and bodywork can release memories and trauma from the tissues of the body where they are stored.
INTEGRATION OF EMOTIONAL ISSUES: Deep relaxation induces a calm and reflective state within which emotional issues can be integrated on one’s own, or with the help of a professional therapist.
EXPANDED SPIRITUAL AWARENESS: An experience of ‘expanded awareness’ and the goodness and interconnectedness of all life can be experienced, inducing a profound state of wellbeing.
