What began as a holistic treatment for depression has become a daily spiritual practice which has benefited my physical, spiritual and emotional health.

In 1999 I turned to Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) as a way to treat depression.  I received my level 1 and 2 attunements within a few months of each other. I had no intention of offering it to others or even teaching at that time. Learning, classes and attunements were for my own personal benefit.  With the help of a great therapist and daily self-treatment with Reiki I was able to survive depression without drug therapy. This was my chosen approach and it worked for me.  You or a loved one may need something more.

My journey with Reiki has become a daily time for introspection and self-exploration. It has allowed me to develop my intuitive skills, as well as enhance and get in touch with my higher self. I have been given the opportunity with Reiki to heal emotional triggers from daily life.

Reiki is a spiritual energy healing system which originated in Japan. It focuses on healing the body, mind and spirit by drawing on the body’s inner untapped energy. Reiki is one of many paths to spiritual enlightenment – to discovering the ‘self’.  Reiki starts with the self.

Cultivating a daily Reiki practice and receiving regular Reiki session promotes balance, relieves pain and stress, promotes physical and emotional healing and increases creativity and intuitive ability.

The word Reiki actually consists of two Japanese Kanji (word) characters: Rei and KI. Rei means higher universal knowledge or spiritual consciousness of God and Ki (or Chi in Chinese) means life energy or the vital life force or universal life force energy.

Reiki is a safe, gentle and powerful healing tool that can bring you into balance on many levels.

I use it on everything.

• as a spiritual tool
• emotional/mental well being
• stay healthy and restore health
• mend relationships
• alleviate workplace stress

Even in my daily chores with plants, gardens, laundry, shopping, cleaning and yes, even this article has been infused with Reiki energy.

Reiki has been a gift I can offer others to help them in their healing journey, in reality we are all on a journey of healing.
