What is Reiki?   Reiki is a powerful hands-on method that helps calm the mind and body. With less tension, the body reduces the stress it typically accumulates. This allows the mind/body to hold moments of healing awareness, which before was obstructed by feelings of anxiety and fear, creating a negative impact. I find the after-effects of a Reiki treatment to be similar to a meditation session. My mind is at peace and I feel a physical relaxation throughout my body. If you are interested in going deeper with Reiki, check out my classes.

Can I stop seeing my doctor while taking Reiki treatment?

No. Reiki is NO SUBSTITUTION for medical care. Although Reiki has been found to work well with medical procedures by reducing the negative side effects, it is to be used as a complementary offering alongside your physician's treatment plan. Feel free to discuss Reiki with your medical doctor. Over the years, more hospitals and doctors have recognized the positive outcomes and benefits that Reiki gives their patients.

Is Reiki a religion? 
No. Although it is spiritual in practice, an inner healing of mind, body and spirt, it represents no God, nor has any rules for participation. Anyone can have a Reiki treatment or practice Reiki without fear of it weakening their religious practice. I would propose that it will actually deepen your religious beliefs/practices.
