what is reiki?

Reiki is an ancient and powerful form of energy healing. It is passed down from master to student and has continued over centuries. As a master I can trace my lineage back to Usui himself. During a reiki session, positive and healing energy is channeled through the body and hands of the practitioner to serve the client for their greater good. It clears stagnant energy and emotions (especially negative), and helps balance the chakras. Reiki helps the physical body work better with the spiritual energy body. My favorite explanation of Reiki, is that it is like a deep tissue massage for your soul and spirit. Though little touch is involved- most is hovering the hands above in the energy body. Touching of arms, legs, and back of neck may be done on occasion, but only with permission from the client. Reiki can not be harmful, and there are no circumstances where reiki doesn’t have the potential to be beneficial (it is even safe during pregnancy and for cancer patients). As a Reiki practitioner, I do not diagnose any condition. Reiki is not a treatment method for any medical or mental health condition, rather it is an extra tool to be used along with your current treatment plan. Please consult with your care provider if you have any questions.

​Reiki for infants and children can be wildly beneficial for physical, mental, and emotional health. Reiki can be beneficial in aiding in behavioral issues, anxiety, as well as emotional processing- not to mention the physical pains little bodies experience as they grow quickly. Our little ones go through a lot as they learn to interact with the world around them and process all the information they are taking in. Reiki is for ALL kids. I have found such peace and comfort working with my own children, as well as others. Seeing the changes in little ones after receiving Reiki has been eye opening. I do reiki on all 3 of my kids on a regular basis.

A portion of my training was also focused on animal Reiki, which is a bit different believe it or not! From physical issues, allergies and gut problems to temperament, Reiki can have a huge positive impact on our companions.

what to expect:

• You will be asked to wear comfy clothes
• You will be asked to lay on your back on a massage table. Your only job is to relax!
• Relaxing music will be played during the duration of your session, and the more you’re able to relax, the better!
• You may feel heat coming off of my hands as I work in the energy field above you. You may also feel odd sensations like tingling, coolness, or warmth throughout your body, or you may have some muscles twitch. These are all normal as the energy is flowing.
• Afterwards you may feel sleepy, or a little “reiki drunk”. This is your body’s response to the incredible amount of energy work you’ve just received! Alternatively, you may also feel energized.
• Drink a lot of extra water for the next couple days (I’m serious when I say it’s like a deep tissue massage for the soul!)
• You May experience what is known as a “Healing Crisis” over the next 22 days you may experience a period of worsened pain in a particular area (especially one that needed a lot of work), nausea or diarrhea, or more commonly you may experience bouts of heightened or slightly unstable emotions. Some report bouts of sobbing “for no reason”. Reiki will continue working for a time after your session ends. It takes time to balance, and it’s important to remember. An analogy- say you’re cleaning out your kitchen cupboard. In the process of getting it organized your entire kitchen may be in a state of disarray for a short period of time.
• At the conclusion of your session Ashlee will share experiences she had with you during your session. This may include some intuitive information (but is not guaranteed).
