REIKI

from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-above) healing practice that works with the body’s natural energy system to support balance, relaxation, and overall well-being.

The word Reiki comes from Japanese:

  • Rei meaning universal, and

  • Ki meaning life force energy—the energy that flows through all living beings.

Reiki is based on the understanding that when our life force energy is low or blocked, we’re more likely to feel unwell, depleted, or disconnected. By encouraging the free flow of energy through the body, Reiki can help reduce stress, ease tension, and support emotional, physical, and energetic healing.

Some people describe it as like acupuncture without needles—a deeply calming experience that invites the nervous system into rest and regulation.

The Benefits of Reiki

Reiki supports the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Many people experience a deep sense of calm and connection during and after a session.

Some of the potential benefits include:

  • ✧ Deep relaxation and nervous system regulation

  • ✧ Improved sleep and mood

  • ✧ Relief from physical tension or discomfort

  • ✧ Support during periods of stress, grief, or transition

  • ✧ A greater sense of inner peace and clarity

  • ✧ Enhanced connection to self and subtle energy awareness

Whether you're seeking energetic support or simply a quiet space to rest and reconnect, Reiki offers a gentle yet powerful way to come back to yourself.

What to Expect in a Reiki Session

Reiki sessions take place in a calm, soothing environment where you’re invited to fully relax and be supported.

We begin with a brief conversation to explore what’s currently present for you—this might be physical discomfort, emotional overwhelm, stress, or simply a desire to reconnect with yourself. This helps set the intention for the session.

You’ll then lie down fully clothed on a comfortable surface, usually face-up to begin. We’ll take a few moments to settle in with a short guided grounding or meditation. From there, I’ll gently place my hands either lightly on or just above your body, moving intuitively through various areas while staying attuned to your energy and needs.

The session may include time lying face-down as well, depending on your comfort and what’s being worked with. Throughout, the focus remains on your personal intention for healing, restoration, or balance.

Many clients describe feeling deeply relaxed, calm, and realigned after a session—sometimes with subtle shifts, sometimes with a strong sense of release.

Reiki is and always should be non-invasive, while reiki—like yoga and meditation—has roots in spiritual practices from long ago, modern reiki is not a religion. Catherine welcomes those from all walks of life and belief systems and uphold that receiving reiki is not intended to interfere with or change a client’s spiritual or religious beliefs.
