As part of the my practice, clients may opt to incorporate methodologies that appear to have promising mental health benefits but have yet to be fully researched by the academic community. Reiki sessions can be incorporated at the request of the client in addition to traditional psychotherapy sessions.

The prevailing premise of Energy Medicine/Psychology is that the flow and balance of the body’s electromagnetic and more subtle energies are critical for physical and emotional health. These aspects influence each other and each may promote health and well-being. Reiki is a Japanese word that means universal energy. Reiki is increasingly recognized in the West as a beneficial adjunct to allopathic medicine. Reiki is believed to enhance the body’s ability to heal itself. Additionally, Reiki and other forms of energy work have much to offer in the way of increasing wellbeing and resilience. It is stress reducing, balancing and relaxing.

Like meditation, Reiki treatments have a cumulative benefit. They are supportive of well-being in every way. While Reiki supports wellness for the physical, emotional and mental body, it is not a “magic cure” and is no replacement for licensed medical treatment.
