F.A.Q.

People talk a lot today about
mind, body, spirit. What exactly does that mean?

Mostly it's a way to indicate that a person is a whole being and needs to be considered as a whole being, not just a bunch of parts and pieces. Everything about us is connected with everything else and so all of it has to be in balance in order for us to feel okay with ourselves and the world around us.

How would I know if your services are appropriate for me?

We have had clients tell us:  “Everyone needs to come and see you!” We find that proclamation flattering and perhaps even true to some extent, (Who couldn’t benefit from a non-judgmental ear or a relaxing treatment?) However, you are the best judge of whether or not things are as you like them.  If they are not, we can help!

What is Reiki Energy?

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key), the word, comes from the Japanese. On a spiritual level this work means Universal Life Intelligence (Rei) and "that which animates all living things" (Ki). When a person has an abundance of Ki it helps them to stay healthy, both mentally and physically. Ki is the "biomagnetic energy" of the human aura. Ki (Chi in China ) is cultivated and harnessed in many of the Eastern arts( martial arts, yoga, meditation etc.). Although it is difficult to describe Reiki in words, perhaps it is best described as "perfect healing energy." Everyone is born with Reiki but the ability to channel it was lost to most until the method was rediscovered in the last century!

What can Reiki do for you?

Reiki is extremely soothing. It can dissipate headaches, relax tense muscles and calm the emotions. It helps increase and balance the flow of Ki within all the chakras and the energy field surrounding us. Reiki is totally positive energy and cannot harm any living thing. Remember that a healer does not do a healing to someone, but with them!

What is Hypnoreiki?

Hypnoreiki is the combination of reiki and hypnosis. Often times there may be anxiety associated with the thoughts of being hypnotized. In this instance the combination of reiki helps to calm and soothe the muscles, and calm the emotions enough to enjoy the experience of hypnotherapy. Also, the coupling of reiki and hypnosis has the effect of increasing the power of both by opening the portals to the utilization of energy in a defined mind-body pattern.
