Reiki

Service Description

Reiki came to me many times as I was helping my mother ~ when she was suffering with pain during many sleepless and uncomfortable nights in the hospital, during her countless chemo & radiation treatments with Leukemia. The hospitals & staff were dead against any type of healing energy work (at that time), and my mom didn't want to participate in anything outside of mainstream protocols. At the time, I didn't really know that I could actually do Reiki, but I would quietly massage her feet every night for hours, for almost 7 years, to help her find comfort. I found the energy in my hands overwhelmingly warm and I was able, for a short time, to help ease her pain. She basically relied on me for this service and jokingly told me I was helping her heal. I said nothing. It wasn't until my own stay in the Heart & Stroke unit of the hospital while I was recovering from the rather two large blood clots that formed in my brain, that I consciously understood what I had been doing all those evenings at my mother's bedside. I quickly knew then that I needed to get into my body again and start to love myself on a deeper level in order to heal. I reached out to a wonderful teacher named Daniela Hill (gatelight.com) who over the next 3 years provided me with the training & coaching that I needed to understand the power of the Reiki also known as "universal life energy". I am a Reiki Master and offer courses, treatments on animals and humans. I took a fair bit of time to study this modality and connect with the energy but most of it was very natural for me to learn. I started to shift and open up to other methods and understandings and shed much of the belief systems that were taught to me growing up. I slowly carved out a path for my own self-healing, through my understanding of Reiki. Perhaps, learning this was more about me but I believe it helped me shift. Daniela very lovingly taught me the traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage from Dr. Mikao Usui and now I am a Reiki Master & Teacher. I practice this automatically on myself every day and also love to share this with my puppies and even with my plant life in my garden. Every day I continue to learn more and more and would be happy to share this with you.
