WTF IS REIKI?
Reiki is a form of biofield therapy. The word Reiki is used to describe both Reiki energy itself and Reiki as an energy healing modality that gently balances, detoxifies, and promotes healing in your body, mind, and spirit. It is channeled through your Reiki Practitioner and into you and your energy field, which can include many things.
Reiki itself has always existed but as an energy healing technique, it came from Japan where it was “discovered" in 1922 by Dr. Mikao Usui who is credited with the modern-day Reiki movement.
The word “Reiki" is made up of 2 Japanese kanji REI and KI. There are a couple of different ways that it’s translated but essentially:
霊 = REI = spirit / universal / higher power
気 = KI = life force energy
This universal energy is also called chi, qi, mana, and prana to name a few.
Reiki painlessly sends pulsing electromagnetic energy into your biomagnetic field to restore the body to the optimal frequencies that promote its natural healing processes. This dissolves stagnant energy blocks and releases physical and emotional trauma while nourishing and strengthening the body on all levels. Reiki also facilitates the theta and alpha brain states that promote rest, release, and higher states of consciousness. This powerful combination of inner and outer healing creates a deep sense of inner peace, renewal, and self-actualization that lasts long after your session has ended.
As this is energy work and energy travels, sessions can be conducted in person or virtually without any change in the efficacy of treatment.

How does that work? 🤯
Reiki energy is measurable electromagnetic energy that is emitted from the palms of Reiki practitioners while they are channeling. Reiki wavelengths are very long, putting them in the ELF range which is known to be healing to the body.
Electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light, about 186,000 miles per second, and do not need a medium to propagate so they can travel through air and solid materials as well as through the vacuum of space. So you are receiving your Reiki instantaneously no matter where you are.
You can also look at it through the lens of quantum entanglement which explains how subatomic particles can be in two different places at the same time; we’re connected by the same Reiki energy that is simultaneously existing in both locations.
It’s also been proven that our thoughts and intentions can directly affect the behavior of subatomic particles. This is important because the entire foundation of Reiki is that it is only ever channeled with the intention of it being for your greatest and highest good.
(If you love quantum physics as much as I do, you may also enjoy this and this.)

“This was one of the most profound, life-changing and life-affirming experiences of my life. Grace truly is a master (and an angel) and in 45 minutes was able to able to infuse me with a sense of safety and peace of mind I’ve never known in my life. She tapped into deep emotions I’ve been grappling with without me saying a word. I wasn’t sure what to expect doing Reiki over Zoom, but that clearly doesn’t affect the efficacy at all. I cannot recommend her enough!”

WHAT DOES A SESSION LOOK + FEEL LIKE?
⟡ BEFORE ⟡
If you’ve scheduled a Zoom session, make sure you have a solid internet connection and an audio and video setup on your device. If you haven't already, you can download the Zoom app here. If you prefer to do a session by phone, that is also an option. Additionally, if you’re more comfortable not being connected in real time at all, that is completely fine too. You can select one of these three options each time you schedule an appointment.
Wear comfy clothes and find a quiet place where you can be uninterrupted. I highly recommend lying down in savasana but it is entirely up to you. Create your sacred space with relaxing nature sounds, spa music, incense, candles, crystals, essential oils, an eye mask - go all out. Feel free to meditate for a few minutes before your session to prepare. If you use *Spotify, I’ve created a Reiki Session Playlist that you can use for this as well as during your session. I also offer Reiki-infused amplifiers and cleansing tools on my Shop page if you’re interested.
Animals are very attracted to Reiki and will want to join us; I am so happy to have them if it doesn't distract you. My chihuahuas Baxter and Frances will likely be joining us too.
* If you’re using a free account, test it out first—you may need a paid plan to go ad-free. No sponsorship or affiliation with Spotify here; the playlist is just something I created for myself that you might also enjoy.
⟡ DURING ⟡
We will spend a few minutes at the beginning of your appointment discussing any particular issues or areas of concern. This is a safe and confidential place and you’re free to share as much or as little as you’d like. You also don’t have to have anything specific in mind. Reiki is extremely nourishing, relaxing, and rejuvenating and will go wherever it is needed - just let it flow and elevate your body, mind, and spirit.
Once I begin channeling Reiki, I will ask you to close your eyes, relax, breathe deeply, and just give in to the experience. I'll guide you through a customized and/or channeled meditation for the first few minutes and then we will both generally be silent for the rest of the session. My eyes are mostly closed, I may be making hand or arm gestures, touching/covering my third eye chakra, or typing notes. I’ll also mute myself to keep your sacred space free of any additional noise or distractions from my end.
You may fall asleep, experience hot/cold sensations, “waves” of energy, euphoria, tingling, emotional release, shaking, visions, cognitive clarity and breakthroughs, fluttering of the eyelids, a variety of other sensations, or none at all. These are all positive, generally mild, and are normal responses to the shifting energy. If you’re highly sensitive to energy, these will likely be more noticeable to you.
At the end of your session, I’ll slowly and gently bring you back up.
⟡ AFTER ⟡
Tell me how you’re feeling! I love hearing how Reiki affects different people.
As a claircognizant and clairsentient intuitive, I may have sensed certain things throughout the session as I’m tuned into your energy. If anything does come up, I will share with you at the end of your appointment. These are just observations of where your Reiki may be flowing and can provide insight and/or validation; I do not diagnose. If you’d like, these can be emailed to you as well.
You will likely feel deeply relaxed after your session, especially after our first time working together when a lot of energy can be shifting. This is totally normal and actually a good indicator that your body is busy healing itself. If that’s you, be sure to allow yourself to fully “come back up” before driving etc. A glass of cold water is great for this. If your schedule permits, meditating right after Reiki can be especially effective and healing.
In the coming days you may experience increased intuition, vivid dreams, emotional release, and physical symptoms of detox. All normal and exciting as all of these can bring you closer to homeostasis. Be extra mindful and open to any messages or guideposts that may pop up to help light your path.
While this is an overused and obvious suggestion; do try to up your water intake after your sessions. It really does help with the energetic detox.
Reiki grounds you, raises your vibration, and realigns you with your higher self - so enjoy it and feel free to reach out at any time with questions. 🫶🏻

“I have done several Reiki sessions with Grace for myself and my dogs. Every experience has been very insightful and deeply healing. Grace’s intuitive skills are such that she will sense things about you physically or emotionally that you never told her before, which is always fascinating and validates her gifts as a healer. Every session has left me feeling refreshed, relaxed, and has given me a deeper understanding of what my body needs. I have also noted better sleep, less pain, more energy, and improvement in other more specific ailments that Grace sensed during our treatments. My dogs also LOVE their Reiki sessions. They get very excited when they are treated, but afterwards they are calm and they sleep more deeply the nights after their sessions. One of my dogs in particular is very anxious and will often pace, unable to relax. After a Reiki session he is significantly less anxious and finally able to wind down. I am so grateful I found Grace and I can’t recommend her enough - for both humans and fur babies!”
