Reiki Level 1

Reiki Usui is a non physical Japanese healing method to assist clients with energy clearing.

Energy clearing is required when energy blockages congest areas of the body resulting from mental, emotional and spiritual stressors.

I plan to attain my Level 2 certification spring 2024, and long term I would like to one day teach Reiki to youth.
