Reiki is relaxing,
hands-on healing.
What Reiki is, to me
Reiki is a hands-on, energy healing technique in which a trained and experienced practitioner channels universal energy through the palms of the hands and onto the client. It promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and encourages emotional and physical healing.
Through gentle touch, the body's main energy centers known as Chakras can be accessed and balanced by the practitioner. Chakras correspond to our vital organs, the head, torso, back and feet. When Chakras are balanced, energy runs through them more freely, creating harmony between the body, mind and spirit.
As a Certified Reiki Practitioner (CRP) my goal is to create a compassionate, safe place for you to experience openness and well-being.
“Reiki is the art of inviting happiness into your mind and body, and the belief that the universe is alive and filled with energy.”
Dr. Mikao Usui, Reiki Founder
My Reiki Lineage
In Reiki, everyone comes from a lineage, which is the line of teachers that connects them back to Reiki Founder, Dr. Mikao Usui.
I like to think of my lineage as a living tree that stretches back to Dr. Usui (the trunk of the tree) followed by Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, Hawayo Takata, John Harvey Gray, Brian Brunius, Christopher Tellez, and most recently me, Irene Knoop. I imagine the roots of the tree as all the countless generations of healers who passed down their traditions, one human to the next.
Here’s how a Reiki session works:
At the beginning of a session, we will pinpoint your physical or emotional concerns that you would like to focus on during the treatment. Reiki works in conjunction with conventional medicine and can boost the benefits of therapy and surgery.
In-person sessions can be booked for 60 or 90 minutes.
Distance sessions can be booked for 30 or 60 minutes.
I offer house calls for private Reiki sessions in the East Bay, as well as distance sessions over the Internet should that be preferred.
Distance Reiki is a great option if you are unable to be seen in person or you are busy, sick or in need of Reiki immediately. Reiki can be sent across distances in real time. This happens when the practitioner focuses on a photograph of you and utilizes sacred Reiki symbols which connect energy from the practitioner to the client. During this real-time session over the Internet, the client should be in a quiet and relaxed space.
Cancellation Policy: Please let me know 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule.
"We came into this world for a purpose, so we must have health and happiness to achieve our goals.” — Hawayo Takata
