What is REIKI?

Reiki was "rediscovered" and "redeveloped" by Dr. Usui in Japan in the 19th century. It is derived from two Japanese characters: "rei", which literally means the Spirit and "ki" , your Breath. "Rei" also means the universe, the source, while "ki", your essence, life force and energy, as in "chi" in Chinese, and "prana" in Sanskrit.

Acupuncture and yoga are also based on the flow of this energy within us. Reiki is the source of this energy and another name for it is "Universal Life Energy". I call Reiki a "Smart Energy", as it goes to the cause of the symptom of your illnesses.

Reiki is non-invasive and complements all medical and natural treatments and is safe and gentle and has a restorative and calming effect. The beauty of Reiki is its simplicity and, as Mrs. Takata, who brought Reiki to the West, said: "Hands on, Reiki on; hands off, Reiki off!" Reiki is effective regardless of age, race, religion or belief system.

How can I help you?

I act as a channel for the reiki energy ("rei") to reconnect to your own healing energies ("ki"). This reconnection allows the flow of energy to go to the source of your problems, and sometimes, detoxing could occur. Reiki supports the healing and growth of the different levels of your being: mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.

How does a Reiki Treatment work?

It involves me placing my hands gently over various parts of your body and is a deeply relaxing experience.

What is a Reiki Workshop like?

Each of my Reiki workshop spans over two to four days. They are a blend of storytelling, sacred initiations, questions, answers, sharing and hands-on experiences. Once you are attuned to Reiki energy, you have Reiki for life.

Reiki Charaters

"Let no-one persuade you to cure the head
until he has first given his soul to be cured,
for this is the great error of our day in the
treatment of the human body, the physicians
first separate the soul from the body."
Plato
