Reiki Energy Healing Can Help You "Tap into Your Own Personal Power

Here’s How

Reiki Helped Me

My internal light felt dim and desperate. I tried yoga, meditation, isolation, associations; anything to stay busy and protect myself from the lack of love at home. However, it was a jolt of energy from a friend holding my hand that ignited me. It was like a shock or a hard reboot. It set me on the right track. 


That was the beginning of my personal enlightenment and return to self-love. That jolt was Reiki! I’m sharing this story so that you too may move further along on your path to enlightenment using Reiki as a tool.


Energy Work

As a Reiki master, I can sense when chakras are out of sorts. With the power in my hands, I can unstick stagnant energy. During a session, my clients feel heat, tingling, and sometimes a sense of calm. Some cry to release pain or uncertainty. Some cry joyful tears because they understand why they were feeling the way they were feeling and leave my table with recommendations and a way forward.


Spirit Connections

Many Reiki practitioners, including myself, call upon God, the Universe, spirits, and/or ancestors to guide our hands as we practice this work. It’s serious business! During my practice, I call directly on God to help me assess and guide my clients. He is always eager to help. He wants to connect more with his people. My practice allows deep connections with God, the inner soul, and the spirit realm. These connections are a constant reminder that we are not alone, even when we think we are. We are not alone. If you have had a hard time letting go of a friend, relative, or a person that has transitioned, I can help you gain closure. I have been blessed with the gift of channeling and can help you connect with them.
