Holistic Wellness
Holistic Wellness
What lead me to open a holistic wellness space was the calling I had to serve others holistically; body, mind, and soul. As a bedside nurse I witnessed how my patients needed more than medication and temporary symptom relief. Healing was calling in deeper ways. Everything they shared with me made me realize that their suffering came from past wounds, repetitive mental and emotional patterns, a sense of loneliness/separation, and consequently, a disconnect from their true self.
Whether you wish to simply incorporate more presence and relaxation into your day or are interested in a holistic support for your wellness journey, I welcome you. I absolutely love what I do and enjoy creating a healing space that nurtures you.
Reiki is a holistic therapy in the field of complimentary medicine. We have 7 main chakras or energy centers throughout our bodies that directly connect with a physical part of the body (organ/gland) as well as to our mental and emotional state. Each chakra is meant to unfold naturally (like a beautiful flower!) during different phases of our life. However, due to our perception of experiences from our past this is not always the case. The condition of each chakra reflects our current level of consciousness.
We can have open, closed, or blocked chakras. Each can be in a state of deficiency or excess energy. When not balanced, this can cause a stagnation of energy and therefore disturbance in our entire well-being. When energy is stagnant we feel its repercussions in every aspect of our lives. When energy is flowing freely, we also feel the freedom in every way, especially our innate freedom to BE.
During a Reiki session, the individual is completely dressed and simply lies down on a massage table or bed to rest. The practitioner gently places hands on or just above the body. This offers an opportunity for body, mind, and emotions to return to a harmonious balance allowing any energy blocks to be released. Some people experience a feeling of warmth or coolness. Other times, a sense of heaviness or tingling sensation. Some fall asleep and this is completely normal as well. People often feel a great amount of relaxation and peace. Regardless of your personal experience, energy is being moved and can bring along profound realizations and shifts. Gradually, Reiki can reduce anger, worry, and other disturbances. It was an honor to receive my Reiki Master and Teacher Usui attunement through my teacher Judy Bowles who has been a Reiki Master for over 39 years.
