Reiki with Me
Reiki with Me
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve worked in the mental health field for 18 years and been incorporating Reiki energy healing into mental health therapy sessions since 2021.
Reiki energy healing is my favorite tool to promote healing and relaxation. I was first introduced to Reiki in 2011 by my own therapist and I'm so grateful that I gave it a try! I couldn't have explained what Reiki was back then, but I felt things shift as I continued to go to the meditation group classes where the facilitator would provide hands-on Reiki healing. The subtle changes were internal and, over time, changed my outer world as well.
I continue to receive regular Reiki treatments in group settings, individually, virtually and in-person over the years. In 2019, I attended my first Reiki Attunement class and by 2020, I had completed Levels I and II with C. Lynn Carr (Sea). I took time with each attunement to allow the teachings to integrate more fully. In 2021, while pregnant with my daughter, I was attuned as a Reiki Master with Jalpa Dhaduk. And in 2023 with the same teacher, I became a Reiki Master Teacher.
During a Reiki session with me, we discuss physical and/or emotional symptoms you are experiencing. You can share as much or as little as you're comfortable sharing. With my mental health background, I blend in a compassionate and emotionally supportive style to our conversation.
Next, you get into a comfortable position - lying down or seated - before I lead you in a guided imagery meditation. The goal is for you to feel as relaxed as possible. Some folx experience a meditative state but it’s not required for the energy healing to be effective. Based on your intentions and what we discuss, I will intuitively use Reiki to identify and gently clear blockages in your energetic body which may be contributing to physical and emotional symptoms.
Finally, I gently guide you back to a more aware state - similar to coming out of Savasana during yoga. Then we chat about your experience and I share insights and practical recommendations to help support your own healing between sessions.
More About Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique using gentle touch to promote stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki can also be conducted with hands-on, hovering or even sent from a distance, if preferred. Reiki is practiced with the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself and to do so, complete relaxation is often beneficial. Long-term imbalances in the body sometimes require multiple sessions in order to facilitate the level of relaxation needed by the body to heal itself. Keep in mind that Reiki is an effective, complementary healing modality but it does not replace medical or mental health care.
