Reiki
Reiki is an energy healing practice that has its roots in Japan. The word Reiki means "universal life force energy" and can be understood as "spiritually guided life energy". The meaning is similar to the Chinese term "chi" and the Sanskrit word "prana". All humans are energetic beings, meaning that we are more than just our physical bodies and the thoughts our brains produce. We are constantly creating energy, receiving energy from others (including plants, animals, and the Earth itself), and sending energy back out into the world. The energies of our thoughts, bodies, and emotions are palpable. If you turn your mind right now to something you've been putting off, for example, that you don't want to face, you may feel your body reacting to the energy of that thought. Perhaps a tightness in your belly, a lump in your throat, a tension in your neck... and sometimes we can release the energy of that thought by taking a few deep breaths, or by going for a short walk. But more often, we stack up those moments of tension on top of each other, not having time to unwind and release the energy they have created in our bodies. We move quickly from stressor to stressor, whether it's work, parenting, or doom-scrolling on our devices.
Having a Reiki session is a gentle and simple way to be able to release some of the energy that has become stuck or stagnant in your body, your mind, and your heart or spirit. Being still and allowing the Reiki to move through you will leave you feeling lighter and more grounded, and often brings a deep feeling of calm.
You don't have to know particularly what's 'wrong' in order to benefit from a Reiki session, as the energy will be guided to move wherever it is needed. Alternatively, you may have a very specific issue, from neck pain to the grief of a recent loss. You may also come with old hurts or traumas that are still echoing through you. All are welcome, and Reiki will support you in moving through whatever comes up for you.
A Reiki session is a time for you to be gently supported into a state of deep relaxation, where old or stuck energy or emotions can move or be released, leaving you feeling lighter and more centred in your self.
People may seek Reiki for:
*Depression/Anxiety

There is no time limit for healing. You may come with wounds that you've carried for years, or it may be something new that has happened in your life. It is never too late or too early to begin your healing journey, or to take the next step, and I would love to hold space for you wherever you are at.
In person sessions in Chilliwack can be offered in your own home, or in my home treatment room (in Vedder area). Sessions may include hands-on healing, guided meditation, healing ceremonies, guided journalling, and more.
(Mobile in person sessions in surrounding areas may require an additional travel fee.)
Sessions are currently offered virtually on Zoom, anywhere in the world. Reiki is such a powerful healing practice that it can be done without needing to be physically present with each other. You just need a quiet space to relax in wherever you are, and the energy will flow.
Each Reiki session begins with a quick chat about what you're dealing with, and you will have the opportunity to set an intention for your time. Then I will lead you in a short meditation to get you into a relaxed state. At the end of the session we will talk about anything that you felt or noticed, and I will share any insights I have about what I perceived in your energy.
