Reiki

"Reiki is love, Love is wholeness, Wholeness is balance, Balance is well-being, Well-being is freedom from disease."

– Dr. Mikao Usui, founder of Reiki.

What Is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced "RAY-key") is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. The word Reiki means "universal life energy," and the practice involves channeling this energy to clear energetic blockages, promote relaxation, and activate the body’s natural healing processes. In a Reiki session, I act as a channel for this energy, allowing it to flow through me to you, helping bring your body, mind, and spirit into harmony while gently easing emotional and physical tension. Whether you're new to energy healing or a seasoned explorer, Reiki can meet you where you are and support your journey toward greater well-being.

This profound yet unseen force sets the stage for transformative healing, whether experienced in-person or remotely. Reiki’s gentle but powerful energy work helps clear emotional and energetic blockages, bringing the nervous system into a calm, regulated state. If you're seeking relief from stress, emotional overwhelm, or simply want to feel lighter and more centered, Reiki offers a deeply supportive path to balance and renewal.

The Benefits of Reiki

Reiki’s benefits extend beyond physical relaxation—it’s a holistic modality that promotes healing on multiple levels. Here’s what you can expect from a Reiki session:

Deep Relaxation: Release tension and bring your nervous system into a calm, regulated state.
Emotional Healing: Clear emotional blockages and feel lighter and more balanced.
Chakra Alignment: Bring your energy centers into alignment, ensuring they flow in the correct direction.
Stress Reduction: Quiet the mind and relieve feelings of anxiety or overwhelm.
Energy Clearing: Remove stagnant energy that may be contributing to physical or emotional discomfort.

Many of my clients report feeling a sense of clarity, peace, and lightness after their sessions. Reiki can help you feel more present, more grounded, and more at ease with yourself.

Why Work with Me?

My journey began in the 1990’s with my first Reiki session with a practitioner named Marsha Staltz. I was so fascinated by how much lighter and clearer I felt after that session that I knew I had to learn this modality myself.

Since then, I’ve trained at the highest levels, becoming a Usui Reiki Master of Masters and a Holy Fire Reiki Practitioner. For more than two decades, I’ve integrated Reiki into my practice as a foundational healing tool. Whether you come to me for EFT, Biofield Tuning, or Reiki, every session I offer is infused with Reiki energy. It’s the core of my work.

My passion for sharing Reiki extends beyond individual sessions as a volunteer with the Maine Medical Center Reiki Team, where we offer Reiki to patients and staff in need of comfort and calm during their medical journeys.
