“Reiki is love, love is wholeness, wholeness is balance, balance is wellbeing, wellbeing is freedom from disease.”
– Dr. Mikao Usui
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle healing practice that’s becoming more popular as people look for natural ways to take care of their health. At its core, Reiki is about balance—bringing your body, mind, and spirit into harmony. But what exactly is it?
Reiki in a Nutshell
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a spiritual healing practice with its roots in Japan. The word “Reiki” comes from two Japanese words: Rei, meaning “universal life,” and Ki, meaning “energy.” Reiki works by channeling this universal life force energy to help clear blockages and restore balance in your body’s energy flow.
This healing art is subtle yet powerful, with no ties to any religion, making it accessible to everyone. Whether you’re in need of physical, emotional, or spiritual healing, Reiki can help. In my studio in Coombs, serving Parksville and Qualicum Beach areas, I offer Reiki sessions that can help you feel more grounded and connected.
I am a Certified Reiki Master Practitioner/Teacher and have been practicing Reiki since 2008. In addition to Reiki, I use other holistic modalities, including somatic breath techniques, herbal remedies, self-care practices, mindfulness, journaling, NLP techniques, and often art, to support your healing journey.
Holistic Balance Healing for Modern Times
Before modern medicine, our ancestors turned to nature and spiritual practices to heal—using the earth’s resources, intuition, and love. Reiki, like other holistic healing practices, honors these ancient methods. It reminds us that healing is not just about addressing symptoms, but about caring for the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
Recognized by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as a biofield treatment, Reiki has been particularly beneficial for pain relief. While it works alongside medical treatments, it’s important to remember that energy healing should complement, not replace, professional medical care. I am not a doctor and cannot provide medical advice. Reiki should be used as a complementary practice, not as a replacement for regular medical care.
What to Expect from a Reiki Session
During a Reiki session, you’ll lie down fully clothed, and I will gently place my hands above or on your body, allowing the energy to flow. People often feel sensations like warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. Everyone’s experience is different, but the goal is the same: to help you feel more balanced and at peace.
Why Try Reiki?
Reiki is a safe, natural way to support your overall wellbeing. It promotes relaxation, helps manage stress, and encourages your body’s natural healing abilities. Whether you’re looking for physical relief, emotional calm, or a moment of peace, Reiki sessions are now available in your area and offer a path to better balance and inner harmony.
