Reiki is an energy healing technique in which a Reiki practitioner uses gentle hand movements with the intention to guide the flow of healthy energy (what’s known in Reiki as life force or “chi”) through the client’s body to reduce stress and promote healing. Moving healthy energy helps people become more balanced physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Besides feelings of peace, relaxation, and security, Reiki promotes stress reduction and relieves symptoms to improve overall health and well-being. It can bring you into a meditative state, stimulating your body’s immune system, relieving pain and tension, and promote natural self-healing.

You should wear thin, soft, stretchy clothes that are comfortable to lay down and relax for one hour. You will have a blanket covering you, so thick, bulky clothing is not recommended.

Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between you and Source energy (Chi), flowing through the practitioner’s hands to you. Energy flows within the body through pathways called chakras, meridians, and nadis. It also flows around us in a field called the aura. When the flow of life force is disrupted, it can cause physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual issues. We do this consciously and unconsciously through negative thoughts and feelings. Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, allowing life force to flow in a healthy, natural way.

No! Because Reiki is guided by life force and Source, it can never do harm. It knows what a person needs, how much they need, and where they need it in their body.

Just breathe and receive! Rachel will place her hands on specific energy locations, leaving her hands in each location for different lengths of time depending on the flow of energy. There is no pressure, massage, or manipulation. Just pure relaxation!

You will feel completely peaceful and relaxed. Some experience energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling, pulsing, or vibrations where the practitioner places their hands. Some feel the energy flowing up and down their body while some do not experience any physical sensations at all. But you will feel relaxed and peaceful and may even fall asleep!

Light Language is the language of love, healing, and grounding. It comes from the most highest power and has the greatest ability to heal at all levels. Light Language energy can help anchor you into your own Earth-bound energy, naturally heal your body, and understand yourself at a higher level. Rachel will channel Light Language during a Reiki session to enhance your spiritual experience. To read about Rachel’s channeling experiences, click here.

Smudging is a cultural ceremony practiced by many Indigenous people. It is the practice of burning medicinal plants to cleanse ourselves and our homes, of negative energy. White sage in particular purifies the environment and welcomes good, positive energy. Along with the smudging process, Rachel will also channel Light Language in areas needed to release negative energy and promote a positive, spiritually connected environment. You will need to open doors and windows to let the smoke and negative energy out.

Krav Maga is a dynamic self-defense system that is designed to be practical and intuitive for any age, shape, or size. If you have a history of assault and are traumatized by fear, Rachel can help you take back your life.

When put into basic self-defense scenarios that cause panic, fear, or a freeze response, Rachel will teach you breathing techniques, ways to control your mind, and meditation practices to overcome past trauma and get you ready for a real Krav Maga class.
