REIKI HEALING
WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a powerful, yet subtle ancient healing technique that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. Founded by Reiki Master, Mikao Usui, a Japanese spiritual teacher, Reiki is a non-invasive and generally safe form of energy healing intended to help others connect with their own inner healing abilities. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "rei", meaning universal, and "ki", meaning life force energy. This life force energy flows through us and sparks us being alive. Reiki activates the natural healing processes of the body and aids us in healing ourselves. Reiki is a branch of complementary therapy and alternative holistic medicine that promotes self-care and spiritual alignment.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A REIKI SESSION?
In Reiki, the practitioner channels universal life force energy into the body of the client to promote healing and balance. Reiki is a spiritually intelligent energy that works through the practitioner as a conduit while facilitating Reiki to the client.
​
During a Reiki session, the client remains fully clothed. The client can choose to lie down or sit comfortably while the practitioner places their hands on or near the client's body, along the energy centres or chakras. The technique of "laying on hands", palm healing, or hands-on healing is used to transfer universal energy to the client. The practitioner channels this energy into the client's body, focusing on areas of tension, pain, or imbalance. If one's life force energy is low or out of balance, they become prone to sickness or stress. If it is balanced, they become happier, healthier, and fulfilled.
​
Many report feeling a sense of warmth or tingling during the session. As the energy shifts and stagnant energy blocks are being released, minor body spasms and twitches are also possible.
​
WHAT IS DISTANCE REIKI?
Distance Reiki is a form of Reiki healing that is performed remotely, without the practitioner and client being in the same physical location. We do not even have to meet in person for Reiki energy to flow! Distance Reiki is the only service option being offered. For us, the meeting place will be online over Google Meet (link provided in the booking email).
Based on this universal life force energy, Reiki transcends the material world, as do Distance Reiki sessions. During a Distance Reiki session, the practitioner will connect with the client energetically, using visualization, intention, and healing tools to send Reiki energy to the client.
To perform a Distance Reiki session, the practitioner may use a variety of techniques, including channeling, visualization, meditation, sound healing, and energy work. During the session, the client may feel a sense of relaxation, calm, or warmth, even though the practitioner is not physically present. Similar to in-person sessions, many find Distance Reiki to be a helpful way to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall health and well-being.
​
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
Reiki is often described as a deeply relaxing and calming experience. The principle of Reiki is to promote and activate one's self-healing in all capacities beyond just the physical. As a metaphysical endeavour, Reiki can also heighten your spiritual awareness and help you align with your ascension journey.
Proponents of Reiki believe that it can help to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Reiki is also a helpful tool for those seeking spiritual activation and spiritual ascension along their soul journey.
Reiki can be supplemented with additional energy healing modalities, divination practices, meditation, visualization, and dreamwork. Reiki is used by some practitioners in conjunction with other complementary therapies, such as yoga, massage or acupuncture, and may be used to aid with a wide range of physical conditions and wellness concerns.
​
WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS?
Although most post-session symptoms from the cleansing and rebalancing process are generally low to mild for up to 3-7 days or longer, each client has their own unique experience with Reiki. While there is limited scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of Reiki, several participants report positive experiences with this therapy.
As with any complementary or alternative therapy, it is essential to work with a qualified and experienced practitioner. It is important to find the right frequency for you in choosing your practitioner, as there are different types and styles of Reiki.
Reiki is not considered an evidence-based treatment or "cure" for health conditions and mental health concerns. Reiki is not considered psychotherapy or counselling services, and does not provide medical or psychological treatment. It is advised to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider or a mental health professional before undergoing sessions.

MY REIKI JOURNEY
​
I first discovered Reiki in 2018, while in the midst of a spiritual quest. In search of the deeper meaning in just about everything, I ventured towards my first ever Reiki session in early 2019. It was a relaxing first experience, but I found that it took some time for me to fully embrace the energy. Later that year, I picked up the Reiki torch again by changing Reiki therapists. From then on, I was hooked from my encounter with the most profound healing experience that I could have ever imagined. After several sessions over the course of a few short years, Reiki chose me as its student, and I began my training in the healing craft.
​
MY REIKI STYLE
Usui Reiki Master Teacher &
Andara Healing Practitioner
​
In 2021, I received "attunement" to Level I and Level II of Usui Reiki. In 2022, I was attuned to Level III as a Reiki Master, and Level IV as a Master Teacher. I am currently certified as a Level IV Usui Reiki Master Teacher, providing Distance Reiki to clients online. My practice focuses on administering Reiki healing to clients which means that I am not offering teaching to students at this time.
Most recently, I received attunement and certification as an Andara Healing Practitioner. This specialized healing modality elevates Reiki energy work with the use of high vibrational crystals to aid with one's spiritual, emotional, and physical needs. In my approach, traditional Reiki and Andara healing go hand-in-hand. I am honoured to share this transformative vibrational energy with you.
​
REIKI THERAPIST OR PSYCHOTHERAPIST?
​
Well, both! My induction into the helping professions began as a Registered Psychotherapist, specializing in relationship therapy. I have over 10 years of clinical experience as the founder and sole therapist in my psychotherapy practice. Given the impactful experiences throughout my career thus far, I have witnessed and heard the needs of clients seeking healing in ways that transcend the mental/cognitive, emotional, and physical, and the bounds of "talk therapy". With what I realized was my professional path shaping up to encompass holistic and spiritual wellness, it seemed to be the opportune time to integrate the healings arts into my work.
REIKI CLIENT GUIDELINES
It is important to highlight that my Reiki Services and Psychotherapy Services are offered separately. Although there are some intersections between psychotherapy and Reiki, there are also ethical factors to consider in order to uphold the professional standards of both.
Therefore, a few guidelines are outlined below to help navigate these grey areas, such as accepting new clients and the transfer of clients between the separate practices:
​​
-
Reiki services are available internationally and across provinces within Canada. You can book from anywhere in the world!
-
Psychotherapy services can only be provided to residents of Ontario and British Colombia, Canada due to licensing regulations.
-
Reiki clients, who have not been psychotherapy clients, are not guaranteed to be accepted as psychotherapy clients. If interested, please refer to Psychotherapy Services for inquiries and information.
-
Psychotherapy clients may be accepted as Reiki clients (at the discretion of the practitioner).
-
Clients of both Psychotherapy and Reiki are kindly asked to address concerns reserved for the respective service they are receiving (ie. If the matter relates to individual therapy, to address those concerns in psychotherapy sessions; if the matter relates to Reiki healing, to address those concerns in Reiki sessions).
-
Quite naturally, some overlap may occur across practices, as such, recommendations may be given to maintain the guidelines and standards of each professional practice.
-
Reiki on its own is not yet widely recognized by health insurance plans. It is highly probable that Reiki sessions will not be covered under your extended health benefits.

INVITATION TO RECEIVE REIKI
The "juggling of hats" as a mental health professional and as an energy healer is quite a unique and special experience for me. I feel fortunate to be on a path that provides me with the opportunity to deepen and expand within my purpose of helping others to heal themselves. My lens as a psychotherapist has enabled me to observe the chronic stress, overstimulation, and ancestral trauma that the clients who I work with are bogged down with daily, and have difficulty coping with. This bridge between mental health as intricately tied to our emotional, physical and spiritual well-being is a prominent principle in my work. In my view, Reiki is the adventuring into a transcendental and enlightening space where healing and growth can occur on a deep soul level beyond what we can consciously see, understand, and change.
I am here to serve and aid in restoring your life force energy with Reiki Andara healing!
​
Sincerely,
Your Holistic Healer.
