WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) meaning "Universal Life Energy " is a method of treatment that brings about a profound relaxation effect using only a gentle touch of the hands or by holding hands a few inches from the body. It works simply yet very effectively. The deep relaxation that it brings about, seems to allow areas of tension and congestion in the person to loosen and melt away, thereby allowing the person's own energy to flow freely again. This seems to enable their immune system to work better thus allowing healing to occur once again. It is used in many hospitals, including the Boston Children’s Hospital and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, to help reduce pain and anxiety, speed healing from surgery and minimize side-effects of chemotherapy.

Reiki originated in Japan around 1920, with a man named Mikao Usui but it is not connected to any religion and is used by millions of people of a wide range of faiths all around the world.

Reiki is simple, gentle and highly effective. Remarkably, even a child can use it effectively after only a one day course. The most difficult part about Reiki is that is so simple and so effective at helping to bring about healing of mind, body and spirit, when nothing else has succeeded that it is initially difficult for many people to believe that it could possibly "be for real. I invite you to bring your skepticisim and your questions. Regardless of the presenting problem, my offer is always the same, give it a try. If the treatment does not help, I will charge nothing whatsoever.

Although most of the people with whom I work have tried every conventional therapy available with no lasting effect, and many have been told by their physicians that nothing more can be done, the majority of people with whom I work, regardless of their diagnosis, the severity of their pain or the number of years that they have gone without relief, find that they feel a significant reduction in their pain and an increase in their mobility in their very first session. If you are tired of living in pain, ask yourself honestly, why not give it a try?

Reiki treatments, which use only a light touch of the practitioners hands, allow your mind, body and spirit to heal. As all of life, Reiki is at once simple and yet incredibly complex. It works brilliantly because it depends totally on the innate wisdom of our bodies.

Reiki is so gentle that it is safe for all ages, from frail, elderly people to sickly infants. Used in hundreds of hospitals, Reiki speeds healing from injury and surgery, reduces pain, stress and anxiety and imparts a deep sense of inner peace and well-being.

Reduce pain of arthritis, fibromyalgia, back and neck pain, shingles, phantom pain, RSD, Carpel tunnel syndrome, facial neuralgia, peripheral neuropathy, and many more.

My passion is working with people who have debilitating, chronic pain who no one has been able to help.

Although most of us don’t ever stop to think about it, it is clear that our bodies have their own innate wisdom and ability to function. Part of that wisdom is the ability to heal. Sometimes, however, blocks or kinks form and prevent a proper flow of energy. Reiki allows those blocks to melt away and our bodies to heal again.

Reiki is one of the most gentle, least invasive and most relaxing therapies available. It addresses the needs of the entire person, restoring balance and bringing healing to mind, body and spirit.

The most difficult part about Reiki is that is so simple and so effective at helping to bring about healing when nothing else has succeeded that it is initially difficult for many people to believe it could possibly “be for real”. Reiki’s amazing ability to help bring healing to mind, body, soul with only a gentle touch is sometimes hard for people to “get their heads around”. I do understand the problem. My father, a lawyer by profession always cautioned me to be careful of things that sound too good to be true. Most of us are taught that nothing good comes easy. We are taught to believe that many things are impossible to fix and that we must just learn to live with them. I have been married to a research scientist for 25 years and my office is in a medical building which houses most of the physicians in the city . As you might imagine, I am a person who is surrounded by skeptics on a daily basis. Regardless of the presenting problem, my offer is always the same, give it a try. If the treatment does not help you, I will charge you nothing whatsoever.
