Energy healing is a generic term that includes many different healing practices including reiki. Historians have found evidence of energy healing practices in all continents and cultures at one point in time.
Energy healing is a traditional and non-invasive form of healing support that is based on the concept that we are all made of energy. Disturbances in our energy system can lead to imbalances that can negatively affect our mind, body, and spirit and lead to stress and dis-ease. Through gentle techniques, an energy healer helps you to identify and release these blocks to assist you with coming back into wholeness and wellbeing.
Reiki is the most popular and well-known type of energy healing in North America. Reiki as we know it was created in 1922 by Mikao Usui in Japan. Although his particular techniques are newer, the energy itself has been worked with in different ways with throughout history.
Until more recently, energy healing and reiki have been considered “woo woo” by many in Western cultures. However, science is now catching up to the potential benefits of reiki and energy healing in general. Reiki is now being used in over 900 hospitals worldwide as well as in many pain management clinics and other medical settings. A growing body of research on reiki and energy healing also shows hopeful results ranging from reduced stress and physical pain to increased healing capacity for hospital patients undergoing surgery.

I am a certified reiki professional (level 3) and reiki teacher. I am also an intuitive healer trained in multiple additional energy healing modalities. Together, we will discuss your goals and work with the modalities that are best suited for your own personal goals. I use a trauma-informed approach to healing and my first priority is to provide you with a warm, non-judgemental, and safe space to heal.
My energy healing process may include the following modalities:
My practice does not involve physical touch of any kind. Distance or online energy healing has been found to be as effective as touch-based practices, while allowing for a greater sense of emotional safety. This also allows you to relax in the comfort of your own home.
The concept of reiki or energy healing can seem unusual or confusing at first – I know this firsthand, as I was a skeptic myself. Please feel free to contact me for a free phone consultation to see if this approach is a good fit for you and your goals.
Free phone consultation
I provide a free phone consultation where we can talk about your goals for reiki or energy healing and I can more fully explain how I work and what you can expect in a session. This helps you to better understand the process and decide whether energy healing is right for you.
Booking a session
If we determine that we are a good fit to work together we will agree on a time and date and I will send you an invitation through Jane App. This software meets all privacy standards and allows you to book or cancel session, pay securely, and also provides a secure video platform for our virtual session.
Preparing for your session
I ask individuals to prepare for energy healing or reiki sessions by making sure that they are well hydrated (drink lots of water!) and that they have a cozy and relaxing place to sit or lie before we start our session. I encourage you to find a private space, dim the lights, or do whatever else you need to feel relaxed.
Our Session
We begin each session with a check-in to see how you are doing and I will go over the process with you in advance as well. You are also welcome to ask any questions.
With permission, I will then connect with you energetically and determine what kind of healing support you need at this time. I will guide you into a more relaxed state so that you are open to receive while also feeling grounded.
Depending on your needs, the session could involve just you sitting or lying back and receiving energy quietly or I may talk aloud to you or ask you to engage in the session in a more active way. Either way, I always let you know what I’m doing and what is happening. I also encourage you to ask questions along the way if you need.
Individuals report experiencing many different sessions during sessions. This could include feeling different sensations in your body (tingling, buzzing, etc.), hearing sounds or seeing colours, or other sensations. Others report just feeling deeply relaxed. There is no “wrong” way to feel the energy – we are all different and that’s okay. I do encourage people to ask questions or let me know how we are feeling during the session so that you feel safe and supported.
At the end of the session I will check in with you again to see how you are feeling and answer any additional questions you may have.
Post Session
You may feel deeply relaxed after our session and I encourage you to continue to drink lots of water and rest as much as possible. While you may immediately feel lighter and more relaxed, it can take up to 3 days to fully integrate the changes in your energy system. This is a great excuse for you to take extra care of yourself and take it easy for a few days!
Disclaimer: Please note that reiki and energy healing are not substitutes for medical or mental health care. They can, however, act as a complimentary therapy. I will not provide medical advice nor deter you from continuing with any other treatments that you are receiving.
Although I am a registered psychotherapist, energy healing sessions are not currently covered by health insurance plans. I can, however, integrate energy psychology and energy healing practices into my holistic psychotherapy practices if you are looking for therapy that also allows for a spiritual approach to healing.
