REIKI AND HEALING TOUCH THROUGH A BODY-CENTERED APPROACH
(PLEASE NOTE ALL IN PERSON SESSIONS REQUIRE WEARING A MASK)
REIKI
Reiki is a combination of the two Japanese words "rei" and "ki" meaning "universal life energy". It is an ancient healing practice that incorporates the "laying-on" of hands to focus and direct a person's life-force energy to heal. This high-touch, spiritual therapy seeks to balance the subtle energies within our bodies and addresses physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances, while also treating the whole person. Beneficial effects may include relaxation, feelings of peace, security, and well-being.
HEALING TOUCH
Healing Touch is an energy based approach to healing. The practitioner works in the client's energy field (aura) and with the energy centers (chakras) of the physical body to facilitate healing at the physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual levels. It is based on a heart-centered, caring relationship in which the practitioner and client come together in partnership to facilitate the client's health and healing. The goal is to place the client in a position to self-heal and to restore harmony and balance in the energy system.
Healing Touch complements conventional health care and is used in collaboration with other approaches to health and healing. Therefore, the goals and intentions of Healing Touch are in alignment with mainstream, as well as, holistic approaches to health.

BODY-CENTERED THERAPY COMBINED WITH REIKI/HEALING TOUCH
Each of us carry our own unique story and emotional wounds that need healing. These wounds are cellular memories in the body that are carried as energetic blocks. Until this energy is released and one becomes conscious, the body will continue to recreate patterns and experiences that mirror these wounds as blocked energy in the body.
In a Body-Centered approach using Reiki & Healing Touch, the practitioner combines touch with verbal exploration of events and/or emotions related to the area of the body being touched. This synergy of combining touch to a specific area of the body while acquiring about health and related traumatic events can be powerfully revealing and empower clients with conscious associations between symptoms, illnesses, and life patterns and beliefs. As clients discover how their health may be energetically related to past life events, patterns and beliefs, they can begin to make positive changes in their lives.
My work is based on this body-centered therapeutic approach with energy healing to help you release blocked energy so that you can connect with and nurture the body, mind, emotions, and soul. By using touch, body-awareness, dialogue, breath-work, sound, movement and a variety of experiential techniques, I will help you integrate and explore emotions, core beliefs, life history, and spiritual essence as they emerge. As your facilitator and guide, I will hold sacred space for you to process what wants to emerge and honor you as the authority of your own healing.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION
Your first appointment will be scheduled for 2 hours, where we will begin with a detailed intake of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual history and in which I ask you to share your life story. During this time, we will explore recurring patterns of trauma, illness, losses or other stressors. We will also explore the body-mind connection and set mutual goals for your health and wellness.
You will then lie fully clothed on a massage table, where I will perform an assessment of your chakras and the energy field around you with my hands feeling for imbalances. Based on the goals we set up for you during the intake and my assessment of your energy field, I will choose a variety of energy balancing techniques (as stated above) to re-pattern and align your energy field and restore harmony and balance. During this time, I use a combination of gentle touch on you physically and within the energy field around you. If a body-centered approach is included as part of your goals, I will also use verbal cues and further explorations to help you uncover blocks, patterns, and beliefs that no longer serve you.
At the end of your session, we will evaluate how you feel. I will also give you homework to do in between sessions. This can include anything from self-energy balancing techniques, affirmations, gratitudes, journaling, meditation, breath-work, inspirational reading or anything that will empower you to move toward your healing and other goals.
All subsequent sessions can go anywhere from 60-90 minutes, depending on the goals we set for you during your sessions. For example, sessions that include body-centered goals will go for 90 minutes, whereas a nice relaxing healing session can be done in 60 minutes.
