What is Reiki, anyway?
Reiki is a powerful, little two-part Japanese word that roughly translates as follows:
"Rei" means "Universal energy, Higher Intelligence, God", etc.
"Ki" means "essence or life energy". It has many names in our world, "chi, spirit, prana",
or if you prefer Star Wars... "The Force!"
Reiki is the gentle adjustment of your life energy though a Reiki practitioner's "attunement". This re-harmonization is used for relaxation, stress reduction and promotes healing. You may imagine it as a blue light energy moving through the practitioner's hands and feet to soothe your aching hinder, or whatever else is bothersome and painful to you.

This is what a Reiki treatment looks like!
What does a treatment session include?
Excellent question!! A standard energetic healing session is comprised of four components:
1) Similar to a traditional medical intake, we discuss your presenting issues. In this way, we can best assess if this type of work is an appropriate course of action to help you. At this time we discuss any concerns and explore expectations.
2) We conduct an energetic evaluation to determine where energy flow blockages may be occurring in your body. By assessing where the energy is not flowing efficiently, we create a focus for the remainder of the session.
3) Based on the first two evaluation steps, it's time to call on The Universe! By bringing directed, intentional energy to the table (yes, pun intended!) we accomplish several important goals: First, grounding, to open energy channels; second, we focus on effectively circulating the energy flow; and finally, we appropriately focus additional energy where it can be the most helpful.
4) Ah... time to return to life - even better than before! After all, we are your Bridgeway to Balance, and our intention is to have you leave relaxed and rejuvenated. In this final stage, we take time to gently re-balance and restore your energy, so that you can easily return to your everyday world, enhanced and healthy!
Note that in all sessions, only shoes (and your coat!) are removed.
BONUS OPTIONS: This four part process describes a standard Reiki session. However, we also offer a variety of alternative therapies that incorporate energy healing from gemstones, flower essences, crystals, meditation, intuitive energetic work, etc. Feel free to ask about any of these options during the initial assessment! We always love to explore different energy tools and techniques...
Healing sessions are generally 60 minutes long.
