Reiki is a natural and gentle laying on of hands. This is a therapy that can be hands-on, hands-near or performed distantly for the client.

This ancient art is a non-invasive therapy used to channel healing energy. This holistic technique promotes balance, harmonization and relaxation in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of the individual. The physical body is surrounded by the aura (a weak electromagnetic field). The stresses of everyday life can cause this field to fall out of balance leading to illness and pain. Imbalances and energy blockages may manifest as psychological, emotional or physical disharmony. Reiki restores and rejuvenates health to your energy field. This treatment allows the energy to move along open meridian lines for increased well being. The energy can also be channeled into specific body locations of distress or pain to alleviate negative symptoms and return your body to a balanced state.

Reiki relieves pain, reduces stress and has been known to correct and treat common health problems such as arthritis, poor circulation, muscle tension, inflammation and emotional ailments. Common sensations felt during Reiki include: tingling, heat vibrations, and an energy movement and flow throughout your body. These sensations facilitate the body's natural ability to heal itself spiritually.

During a Reiki treatment, you can experience relaxation, inner peace, increased energy, vitality and empowerment.
