Years ago I became very interested in Reiki after hearing that it had helped a friend. I found that it fell right into place with my other interests and that it could be kept simple, in harmony with my philosophy. I am now certified to teach Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki and like my art I don't do it to make a living but I share it with others and use it to maintain my own well-being.

Reiki (Ray key) is a gentle, simple and powerful healing art that was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1900's. It restores energetic balance in the body and is a valuable tool for health maintenance, relaxation and stress reduction. Reiki has been shown to relieve pain and emotional distress. It is recognized as a valid complimentary therapy to patients in several hospitals including the Tucson Medical Center in Arizona, Portsmouth Regional Hospital in New Hampshire, and the California Pacific Medical Center. Reiki therapy is safe for all ages and also works well on animals.

During a session the Reiki practitioner taps into what is referred to as universal energy. This energy flows to the recipient as the practitioner uses different hand placements to facilitate its movement. The recipient remains fully clothed and may experience sensations such as heat, tingling, or energy movement. Most enter a state of very deep relaxation.

Reiki is easy to learn and can be used on yourself as well as others. Please contact me if you would like more information.
