What is Reiki?
Reiki is an ancient form of Japanese healing that is practiced by many practitioners around the world. There is an omnipotent energy that gives life to every living thing, and the Japanese call this “Ki.” It is also known as Chi, Prana, or life force. “Rei” translates to life force or universe and “ki” translates to the physical energy of the body. Put together, Reiki means “universal life force energy.”

What are the benefits of receiving Reiki?

Can Reiki replace traditional medical or therapeutic treatments?
No, Reiki complements all other types of medical and therapeutic treatments, but does not replace. Reiki treatment should not be used as a substitute for a consultation with a healthcare provider, a practitioner of natural therapeutics or a psychotherapist.
How is Shamballa Multidimensional Energy Healing (MDH) Different from Reiki?
Shamballa MDH is often considered to be an extension of Reiki. It is a blend of several types of energy: universal life force Reiki energy, Mahatma energy (also known as the I AM presence, the awareness of the Self as Source), and the energy of the Ascended Masters (The Ascended Masters are beings who have completed their reincarnations cycles and now exist in spirit form as teachers of humanity. Their purpose is to assist others in their spiritual evolution and the evolution of the planet as a whole.) Shamballa MDH frequency is highly refined , extremely transformational, and operates on a higher vibrational plane, enabling faster energy transfers at high intensity. Thus, sessions can be achieved in 30 minutes instead of a traditional 45-60 minute session.
When I am doing a session, I invite in Reiki , Shamballa, and Angelic energy and ask that it be drawn in by the recipient only if it is for the individual's greatest and highest good.
Specific outcomes of sessions are not guaranteed.
What is the session like and how will I feel?
The experience of Reiki is unique for every individual, sometimes very subtle, and no two sessions are alike. Some report feeling gentle tingling, pulsing, or a feeling of warmth or coolness. Others simply experience relaxation (even falling asleep) or nothing at all.
Together, we will connect via phone or virtual platform to talk for a few minutes. I will then invite you to get into a comfortable position while I begin the session. If via phone, we will disconnect during the session. If via zoom, we will both mute and turn off our cameras. This allows us both to get into an undisturbed, sacred space. Some even prefer not to connect/talk, but just have me text them when starting and finishing the session. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and open to receive. I will gently reconnect when the session is complete to ground and process.

What are Chakras and how does Reiki work with them?
Chakras, a Sanskrit word meaning “wheel of life" or "disk," are energy centers found throughout the body. The position of each of the seven major chakras corresponds with certain glands, nerve bundles and major organs. These chakras are located at the base of the spine (root chakra), between the genitals and naval (sacral chakra), a couple of inches above the naval (solar plexus chakra), the center of the chest (heart chakra), middle of the neck (throat chakra), just above the brow area (third-eye chakra), and top of the head (crown chakra).
By placing the hands over the corresponding seven major chakra centers that are experiencing any imbalances and performing Reiki, these centers can be rebalanced leading to better healing.
What Can I Expect From a Card Reading?
I use two different card decks for the card readings: an Archangels/Ascended Masters deck and an oracle deck. If you have a question or area you would like guidance on, I invite you to hold that thought in your mind. It is ok if you don't have a specific question and are just looking for insight.
While I am shuffling the cards, I give thanks to the universe, guides, the angels, and your higher self for revealing through me and the cards that which you need to know for your greatest and highest good. The outcome of card readings are not guaranteed and you are responsible for your own actions and decisions.

1. You Own Your Decisions:
In our work together, whether a Card Reading, Reiki session or other exchange, the most important thing for you to do is trust your intuition and use your common sense. This is not about me telling you what to do in your life. You receive from the deep knowing of your soul the information and energy you need to make your own life decisions based on what you know to be true about yourself. If something doesn’t make sense, please ask for clarification. If it still doesn’t make sense or it seems like something you don’t agree with, know that it may make sense in the future or it is possible that the lack of clarity may be exactly what you need to help you find your best path.
2. Our Work Together is Spiritual:
I provide my services in support of your spiritual development. Nothing said in a Reading, Reiki session or other service should be taken as a reason or excuse to avoid appropriate medical or psychological treatment. All services I offer are done as a supplement or an addition to whatever treatment or other study you are currently receiving or may seek in the future.
3. Commitment to Confidentiality:
I will not disclose the content of your sessions to anyone (unless required by law). I will also not even admit to a third party that you have had an appointment with me. If you disclose the content of your session or Reading to a third party, you are responsible for any effects this disclosure may have. I am not responsible for your disclosure.
4. Payment:
All sessions are done via phone or zoom. Payment is required prior to each session and payment is accepted via PayPal, Venmo, or the CashApp. Once you schedule or submit the contact form, I will send you an invoice via PayPal, Venmo, or the CashApp. Please indicate your payment preference and payment email address/username.
Please provide 24 hour notice if you need to cancel. If you cancel within less than 24 hours of your session time, you will be charged a cancellation fee of $15 which will need to be paid prior to your next scheduled session.

When you schedule and pay for an appointment with me, I agree to hold the scheduled time just for you. You agree to show up on time, as fully present as possible, and in an environment free of interruptions. When I schedule an appointment with you I am agreeing to be on time, fully present, and provide a space that is conducive to the work we agree to do together.
