Reiki is a form of “hands on” energy healing that can increase general wellness on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, and can be practiced in conjunction with other healing arts. I have worked with people suffering from a range of ailments, including cancer, insomnia, migraines, recovery from surgeries, and trauma. There are no limits to the benefits Reiki can bring to one’s quality of life. It can be practiced with or without using touch. Therefore, this healing art is applicable in some situations where massage and acupuncture are not, including late stages pf pregnancy, immediately following childbirth, immediately following surgery, physical, emotional, and sexual trauma.
Sessions are conducted with clothing on. I use a massage table within the privacy of a closed room, similar to massage. Like mental health counselors and physicians, I practice strict confidentiality, so anything that is shared within the session remains between you and I. The journey of healing can be uncomfortable and scary at times, so I encourage clients to be expressive about their experiences and communicate their concerts and needs to me during the session, and after the session via text and phone call. Though energy can instigate some physical and emotional symptoms during the “clearing out” process, the more we can address these happenings together in collaboration, the safer and smoother the experience will be.

Fees are sliding-scale. The scale for a 90 minute session is 25-150 dollars, depending on what is possible and comfortable for the client. Some pro-bono sessions are available in some circumstances. Payment is expected at the beginning or end of the session via cash, paypal or venmo.
Classes: The Reiki I Attunement Workshop is a beginning level class in which participants find out what Reiki is and how to responsibly practice on themselves and others. By the end of the second four-hour meeting, students will themselves be Reiki practitioners!! I ask that students read the first few chapters of Diane Stein’s The Essential Reiki before attending the workshop if possible. The text is available online, and I will also have used copies for sale at the workshop.
Reiki II Attunement Workshop is an intermediate level class deepening practice, covering issues of emotional healing, “clearing stagnant energy,” releasing blockages, and necessary supportive and grounding practices. This class also covers the topic of distance healing.
I have been a Reiki practitioner since 2001, and have taught as a Reiki Master since 2004. My teachers have been Maria Martos, a neuromuscular therapist, Nadejda Rozanova PhD., a biochemistry researcher, and Jed Limen, a licensed massage therapist. I focus on the potential to integrate the practice of Reiki into other healing practices, and also into day to day lifestyle. The more regular a person’s healing practice, the deeper their experience with this beautiful energy art form.
