What is Reiki? Reiki is a hands-on (or near) healing modality that is both safe and soothing. The word ‘Reiki’ is comprised of REI which means spiritual or universal and KI which means energy or life force; which together refers to universal life energy. Since being developed by Mikao Usui it has been passed along and has been effectively used to promote well being around the world for generations.

How can Reiki help? In addition to promoting relaxation and reducing stress, Reiki is known to go where it is needed to encourage overall wellness and healing. The experience may vary on an individual basis. Reiki is a gentle and effective way to find balance, dissolve fear, strengthen compassion, develop intuition, and promote peace and clarity in your life. Recipients of Reiki may notice a wide range of benefits such as increased energy, more restful sleep, greater mental focus, to name a few.

Who can receive Reiki? Anyone can be a recipient of Reiki. Because it is gentle and non-invasive, there is no limit to who can experience the benefits of this intuitive and healing energy. Reiki is also independent of spiritual beliefs or religious faith, so it is able to be enjoyed by anyone of any background during any stage of life.

Why do I practice Reiki? With a strong desire to help others, and keen ability to seek out those in need, I found myself called to learn how to offer Reiki; almost as if a magnet were attracting me! In May of 2017, with a subtle suggestion from a loved one, I looked into some Reiki Masters in the Ottawa region; and after finding a suitable teacher my life was forever changed. I met with Debra Desjardins of Angel Wing Reiki and spent a day with her obtaining my Level I Usui Reiki Certification and necessary attunement. It became a goal of mine to gain additional certification as my practice continues to grow.

In November of 2018 I received my Level II Usui Reiki Certification and attunement with Debra. It is a pleasure to expand my knowledge and skills so that I can start to offer sessions at a distance and to animals as well.

Distant Reiki is a wonderful method of offering healing to others without needing to be in the same location.  Reiki is able to be provided to and from anywhere in the world, regardless of distance between participants.  Recipients are welcome to find themselves a quiet and comfortable setting during the treatment time, while the practitioner will complete a healing session from a different location.  Often this is followed by a recap to address any noteworthy points.  Alternatively, you may choose to simply go about your day as usual during the treatment time instead.  Distant Reiki is especially convenient for those who have a busy schedule, with mobility limitations, or a need for physical distancing.
