Energetic Wellness
Reiki
Reiki is one method of connecting with the universal life-force energy that exists all around us. You may have heard of prana, chi, kundalini or other names from various cultures around the world. They are different names given to the same vital energy flowing through the universe. Reiki tends to bring the body into a calmer state. In the relaxed state, the body can achieve greater emotional balance, support with physical healing, enhanced awareness and intuition, release of stored emotions and a greater sense of well-being. No two sessions are alike because each person is in a continually unfolding pattern toward greater balance.

One full hour to receive, reflect, and restore.
We’ll begin with a short talk in which you can share as much or as little as you like. We can discuss any physical, mental, or energetic concerns you may have. However, if you prefer not to disclose, the reiki is not lessened in any way. Reiki is like pouring water on soil; it will flow where it is needed regardless of the information shared.
The session itself will take place on a massage table. Once you are comfortable, I will connect to the energy and begin at your head. Generally light touch is used, but if you prefer no touch that is fine as well. A session will usually follow the top-down flow, however I may re-visit a spot or combine spots if I am guided to. Reiki will flow throughout the body during each placement. Like water against a dam there may be areas of blockage. The energy may work to dislodge the blockage, or it may just find a way around. By doing several hand placements over the entire body, we ensure that the entire body is receiving energy. I will end by holding both feet at the same time for a grounding, and I will let you know when I am finished.
There are many sensations that can be felt during a session. You may feel light tingling, warmth, buzzing, throbbing, or just deep relaxation. Some people may experience imagery or visions. You may feel like yawning or falling asleep. Anything you are feeling is welcomed, and even sleeping does not diminish the effectiveness of the reiki.
When we are finished, it may take a few minutes for you to feel like you want to get off the table. Reiki provides deep relaxation so letting yourself slowly come out of this state is helpful. When you’re ready we will spend a few minutes chatting about your session.
Afterward you may feel tired, grounded, centered or energized. You may notice sensations or emotions coming to the surface for hours or days. Pay attention to them and take note of any insights that seem significant to you. Journaling and/or doodling can be very beneficial to gain clarity and integrate your experience. It’s good to spend some quiet time after your session to let these things come to the surface more readily. Make sure to drink plenty of water to hydrate your energy system and keep it moving at an optimum rate.

Nature based Reiki
Coming Soon!
The nature-based reiki offering is a ceremonial experience created to reconnect you with your body, breath and the rhythms of the natural world. This is a 2.5-3 hour, private retreat held entirely outdoors in a beautiful setting near Boise ID. The invitation is to slow down, tap in, and release the burdens and stress that accumulate over time. Reiki itself is a highly effective modality into deep relaxation, and with the added immersion in nature it increases dramatically.
-
Welcome and intention setting:
We’ll begin with a warm check-in and intention setting. You’ll be invited to share what’s on your mind or what you’re working on; it can be simple, grandiose, or even, “I’m not sure.” Before moving on, we’ll do a few minutes of grounding breathwork as an invitation to drop into reverence for ourselves and nature.
Nature walk and altar creation
Our nature walk will be a silent, mindful meander through the landscape to open your senses, move your body and gather items for art or altar. Together we’ll build a simple impromptu altar or art piece - it’ll be a reflection of your inner world and the container we’re weaving together.
Guided meditation
Seated near our altar, you’ll be guided through a short meditation to bring you into awareness of your physical body before we begin the healing session.
Reiki healing session
This will be the time to completely relax into deep release, and to let yourself really sink into rest. You’ll lie comfortable as I offer intuitive healing that is tailored to your current energetic needs. It will be held in a quiet, protected space giving your body what it needs to relax, and your mind what it needs to quiet.
Tea and journaling integration
After your session, you’ll be offered either an herbal tea blend or herbal infused water, with time to journal, reflect, or simply rest. You’ll receive a reflection packet with prompts to deepen your integration if you wish. If you feel called to share about your experience, I’ll hold space to listen, or if you want to ruminate and keep it to yourself that is respected as well.
