What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing. It is an ancient therapy that manipulates energy flow in the body, resolves energetic blockages, encourages natural healing, and provides a deep sense of relaxation. Reiki is used to activate self-healing, and promotes harmonization of body, soul and spirit. Reiki is a powerful natural and safe method of healing that can benefit everyone - including pets and animals. It is a holistic method that complements other medical and therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
A Reiki treatment feels like a wonderful, glowing radiance flowing through and around you. Some have likened Reiki to a deep meditation, an energetic massage, or the sensation of being 'bathed in light'. One of my clients compared the sensation to acupuncture - "minus the needles!". Reiki treats the whole being, including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and encouraging feelings of peace, serenity, security and calm. As with humans, pets may receive Reiki and often benefit from improved states of wellbeing, alleviating anxiety, stress, discomfort or suffering.
I am a certified Usui Reiki II practitioner and received my attunements from Reiki Master Klaus Anton Hirl Gourish at his healing centre on the sacred island of Koh Pha-ngan, Thailand.
I am not a Registered Massage Therapist, but rather an intuitive body and energy worker. I shy from using the term “healer”, because I believe You are the healer, and I may be the helper. My formal training in anatomy and healing modalities has provided me with a practical working knowledge and insight of anatomy, and the muscular, nerve and energetic bodies. I am very experienced in providing therapeutic massage and body work to relieve tension and stress, and I also offer Light touch massage which may be combined with Reiki or as a standalone service.
Treatments may be tailored to your needs and wishes - aromatherapy or scent free, silent or conversational. I am here to take good care.
I am currently offering Reiki and Light touch massage at my private studio or in your home (following consultation) on Gabriola, as well as Reiki by distance (skype / whatsapp) at reduced rates.
