What is Reiki?
Reiki is the Japanese
word meaning Universal Life Force Energy. It is a centuries old
healing system that is experienced as still "hands on" touch.
A treatment directs energy to the parts of the body and auric
field that need cleared, revitalized or supported.
Just as many eastern “medical” methods, western research via
case studies and now clinical studies are revealing the
effectiveness of Reiki.

Reiki works directly with
the nervous system, which controls all functions and organs of the
body. It therefore heals
at the core level of the pain, disease or stress.
It has been my experience with clients having physical pain
or disease that sometimes as Reiki alleviates the symptoms there is
another level of healing that occurs that is more than physical.
Clients then experience a more complete and long lasting
recovery.
Chronic / Acute Pain
Depression / Grief / Life Transition issues
Emotional / Lifestyles stress
Pre-Post surgery / Decreases side effects of cancer treatments
Body Disconnection
Clients report leaving each session feeling deeply relaxed, pain-free and more energized. They also have a stronger sense of internal support, connection and well-being, and experience a greater clarity and confidence to address issues current in their lives.
Developed in the mid-1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui, Reiki means universal life force energy or "ki" (chi in Chinese medicine). Dr. Usui was a Japanese doctor who resolved to fully understand the essence of healing. He successfully treated hundreds of patients in his hospital clinic and trained other doctors to heal with Reiki. Dr. Usui treated a Hawaiian woman, Mrs. Takata, and she eventually brought Reiki to the United States. Today Reiki is being used in over 200 hospitals and clinics across the U.S. and many successful clinical studies have been conducted.
Through Reiki sessions with Suzanne I experienced an acceleration of the healing of my emotional issues and this experience has been a powerful part of my personal journey of recovery.
In one of my first sessions, I literally dropped into my body which I had been detached from probably since childhood. From there, over time -- I developed a deep sense of completeness and connection and wholeness. Suzanne is gifted healer and a lovely person.
