.: private Reiki :.
Reiki is energy work, originating from Japan. It’s about aligning and harmonizing the energy in the physical and energetic bodies. This hands-on technique allows us to tune into how energy is moving through your body, and invite gentle shifts. I love the image of a river flowing through the body— the river naturally runs smoothly; but over time, dams or debris can impede its path. Reiki helps restore that natural flow.
People come to Reiki for all sorts of reasons— physical illness, grief, anxiety, or simple curiosity. I bring my trauma informed training to my Reiki sessions, and am intentional about creating a container of trust and safety. In this way, we can create healing and balance together.
Reiki provides another way to digest emotions, sensations, or experiences— and it offers the embodied experience that things can shift. As we visit different parts of the body, we might encounter an emotion or sensation that feels challenging. Through working with it gently and patiently, we discover that it can move or release.
This creates more flow so that challenging experiences or stuck narratives can change. People often find that shifting these long held patterns is less laborious through Reiki; we don’t always need a verbal or cognitive analysis of our experiences in order to integrate them.
It’s also important to know that in Reiki, there is no taking or giving of personal energy. Instead, we are working with universal energy that is being channeled. The saying is that Reiki flows where it needs to go. Clients will receive what they need, and it won’t overwhelm their system.
Over a cup of tea, we’ll check in about what ails you and what kind of support you’re craving.

.: peer reviewed studies about Reiki :.
Effects of Reiki therapy on quality of life: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (2025) studied reviews involving 661 participants aged 14 years and above.
“Systematic evaluations have consistently demonstrated that Reiki therapy significantly enhances quality of life (QOL). Subgroup analyses further indicate that the therapy is most effective in improving QOL when administered with a high frequency of sessions (≥ 8) and extended duration (≥ 60 min), or in acute settings with sessions lasting up to (≤ 20 min).”
A Large-Scale Effectiveness Trial of Reiki for Physical and Psychological Health (2019) examined 99 Reiki practitioners and clients in a single Reiki session.
“Statistically significant improvements were observed for all outcome measures, including positive affect, negative affect, pain, drowsiness, tiredness, nausea, appetite, shortness of breath, anxiety, depression, and overall well-being.”
Reiki Is Better Than Placebo and Has Broad Potential as a Complementary Health Therapy (2017) examined 13 peer reviewed studies about the effects of Reiki.
“For patients with chronic health conditions, Reiki has been found to be more effective than placebo for reducing pain, anxiety, and depression, and for improving self-esteem and quality of life.”
