Healing with Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese healing art and complementary energy therapy based on the understanding that everything in the universe is made of energy. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words: Rei, meaning “spiritual wisdom,” and Ki, meaning “life force energy.”
It is a gentle, non-invasive spiritual healing practice that supports balance and well-being on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Reiki is not a massage, nor is it tied to any specific religion or belief system—it is a natural energy practice available to everyone.
What to Expect in a Reiki Session
A typical Reiki session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. During the session, you remain fully clothed, comfortably resting on a massage table, while the practitioner uses gentle hand placements above or lightly on the body. Clients often describe the experience as deeply calming, peaceful, and restorative.
Reiki sessions and classes are a beautiful investment in yourself, an opportunity to relax, restore, and reconnect with your natural state of balance.
Benefits of Reiki
One of the greatest benefits of Reiki is stress reduction and relaxation, which activates the body’s natural healing abilities. Some potential benefits include:
- Creates deep relaxation and releases tension and stress
- Accelerates the body’s natural self-healing processes
- Supports restful sleep and reduces blood pressure
- Relieves pain, aids with acute injuries, and eases chronic conditions
- Clears energy blockages, restoring balance and harmony
- Supports detoxification and recovery from medical treatments, including surgery or chemotherapy
- Strengthens the immune system and increases vitality
- Supports emotional release, spiritual growth, and inner clarity
Reiki gently raises the body’s vibration, helping you feel more centered, aligned, and at ease. It is safe to use alongside any conventional medical care without contradiction.
A Reiki session is an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your body’s wisdom. It creates a nurturing environment where relaxation, healing, and self-discovery naturally unfold.

As an empath, your sensitivity is your superpower—but only when you learn how to manage it. Without boundaries, you can feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or even physically exhausted from absorbing the energy of those around you. This workshop is designed to help you shift from absorbing other people’s emotions to observing with clarity, compassion, and strength.
Through guided exercises, meditation, sound healing, and group discussions, you’ll learn how to maintain your energy and your own emotional well-being, and show up in relationships as an empowered empath rather than an emotional sponge.
