Reiki as Energetic Medicine
Reiki is defined as a gentle healing method that promotes relaxation. It promotes balance and harmony within the body, mind, and spirit. Reiki energy moves through the practitioner to the recipient. The energy is directed wherever it is needed with the support of the practitioner.
Reiki is a non-invasive practice in which the practitioner places their hands on the recipient in specific patterns. The recipient is fully-clothed and is typically laying down or seated.
Reiki was founded by Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan. It is not based in any religious belief system. It is a complementary practice to medical and therapeutic techniques.

Testimonials
My reiki session with Monica was amazing! I came in with limited knowledge but with an open mind. She immediately made me feel comfortable by explaining what would happen throughout our session and explaining the purpose of the different crystals she was using. I didn’t expect to feel the gentle pull/flow of my energy as she worked through the top half of my body, that was such a beautiful experience. As she made her way to my hips, I did feel some resistance and anxiety arise. This was a bit uncomfortable but Monica made sure to spend extra time together time on my feet to ground me. After the session I felt lighter, both emotionally and physically. The lovely Monica provided me the opportunity to debrief and process with her everything I felt during the session. I appreciate her care and would 10/10 recommend anyone have a reiki session with her! -Karla V, CA
