Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that is used to activate the body’s natural healing process by channeling energy through the palms of the healer. It stabilizes spiritual wellness by balancing chakras, removing blockages, and increasing the client’s overall well-being.

Reiki was originally developed in Japan of 1922 by Dr. Mikao Usui. Over time Dr. Usui’s technique has been adapted into various traditions around the world.

A Reiki healer is someone who has studied with and has been attuned by a Reiki Master Teacher. Reiki healers act as a vessel through which Life Force Energy flows to the recipient in order to remove energy blockages and achieve balance.

There are no proven medical risks associated with Reiki. However, it should not be used as a substitute for professional medical treatment.

Absolutely. Because we are all energetically connected, Reiki can be sent and received far and wide. Life Force Energy extends beyond time and space and can heal anyone despite any distance. Intention is key.

Permission is necessary to perform distance Reiki.

The client and I will speak ahead of time to discuss the desired areas of focus and agree upon a date and time to perform the session wherever we are. The client can sit or lay down, and I will perform the session as I would in person (sometimes using an object to link to the client’s energy field). After the session, I will either call the client or write to them depending on their preference, to explain what I noticed about their energy and provide suggestions for how they can keep their energy balanced.

Reiki affects everybody differently. You may feel the effects immediately after a session, or maybe a week later. Regardless of the timing, Reiki works through the energy field as it finds necessary for each individual. It is working whether you feel it or not. Trust in the process, and offer yourself patience.

Yes! You are welcome to reach out to me through the online contact form to inquire about booking Reiki, Reiki body painting, or body painting for your intimate event.

In a typical session, I use acrylic paint to go over the clothing and water-based body paint for the skin. Acrylic is used on clothing so that it can be hand washed without the paint coming out.

The body paint will wash off the skin with soap and water. The acrylic paint on the clothing is plastic-based, so it will not wash out.

This choice is entirely up to you. If you would like only your body painted and not your clothes, I can absolutely accommodate. However, if you would like to keep your Reiki energy art as a meditative memento, then I would suggest wearing something white, and relatively tight-fitting so that you can take it home with you. If you do not have anything you would be comfortable covering in paint but would like to experience it, we can work together on purchasing clothing appropriate for the session beforehand.

Yes! Anything that you feel you need, I will do my part in making that happen for you.

Another yes! If you don’t feel called to receive Reiki, you can absolutely be a beautiful canvas still. I would be honored to adorn you.
