Reiki

Reiki ("ray-key") is a form of hands-on healing. Its origins date back at least 2,500 years in Japan, Buddhist Sutras and Tibetan sacred texts which speak of universal life energy that flows through all living things. Reiki is healing touch channeled by the practitioner to the individual enhancing health and well being. The ability to channel this energy has been passed from practitioner to practitioner through training lineages, since Dr. Usui "rediscovered" it at the end of the 19th century in Japan. In a Reiki session, the person remains fully clothed, and the practitioner places hands over several areas of the body that relate to energy centers.

The healing energy of Reiki has been acknowledged by western medicine, as many hospital workers are attuned and using this technique on patients in hospitals, rehabilitation centers and hospice centers throughout the world. Research has demonstrated the positive effects of Reiki in a variety of diseases including AIDS, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, injuries, addictions and emotional traumas.


Our work offers individual Reiki sessions as well as incorporating Reiki in our life journey and sexuality programs to support and augment progress.
