- Have an excitement for life, knowing you have the confidence to go out and do what you want to do.
This is what it feels like to have balanced energy. Believe it or not, Reiki Energy Healing can help you achieve this kind of life. Keep reading to learn more.
What Is Reiki?
You may have landed on this page but aren’t totally sure what Reiki even is. Below are some explanations about this energy healing technique, your body’s energetic flow, and how Reiki helps balance it all out.
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
This is an excerpt from “What is Reiki, Who can Learn it?” on the International Center for Reiki training website.
In Other Words…
This healing method aids in balancing your energy so you can feel more content and stable in life. If you are having trouble with forgiving yourself, letting go of old memories, or just feel like life is sideways right now, Reiki could be beneficial to your healing and getting you back on track.

What is a Reiki Session Like?
Sessions with me include a brief chat in the beginning of the session, then you’ll lay down and relax for 45 minutes. Typically I hover my hands over your body and use that energy to move through your chakra system. If I find any heavy or parasitic energies, I may also use special techniques to clear that out of your body. Afterwards, we chat again and discuss what was discovered and how you can continue the healing process.
Why My Process is Different
Because I am also a certified psychic medium, I have other seeing gifts and am able to gather additional information from your spirit guides, angels, and even versions of your inner child. This helps to paint a clearer picture of where you’ve been blocking yourself and how you can change your habits in your daily life.
In a full session, you also receive information about your aura color, messages from your spirit guides, your animal spirit guardian, and more.
I am a certified Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master, trained by Mary Fielder from the Reiki Place, certified through the International Center for Reiki Training. I’ve been doing Reiki for over 6 years, working with people all over the world.
Sessions are available long distance and in person.
The Flow of Energy
Now I’ll explain how some energy practitioners (including me) see your energy moving through. Refer to the photo and think of your body like a series of rivers or waterfalls.
- Energy starts in the top of your head (your crown chakra), and flows down like water through your neck, torso, legs and feet, as well as arms and hands.
- The energy exits your hands and feet.
- If something blocks that flow of energy, it becomes stagnant and can’t flow through the rest of your body. That block could be caused by a painful memory, emotion, stress, or many other factors.
A Reiki healer uses an energetic life force that exits out of their hands. By hovering over different areas of your body, we use this energy to remove those blocks and get your energy flowing again.
Have you ever been to an acupuncturist? They use needles to pinpoint certain energy flow areas and balance your energy. Reiki is similar, but instead of using needles, we work within your chakras and use our hands. There’s a video below that helps explain this even further.
How Does Energy Get Clogged?
Refer to the image above to understand this explanation.
Say your energy was blocked in your solar plexus, which is the yellow chakra right above your naval. This is your confidence center – how you feel about yourself. Let’s say your confidence has been low at work lately and that is causing the energy to get blocked up.
Energy is unable to flow past this point, so your
- creativity is stagnant (orange sacral chakra directly below)
- you might feel less stable in your daily life (red root chakra below this)
- you may even be having trouble moving forward with decisions (energy not flowing through your feet)
Using the Reiki healing energy, we would help you let go of some of that resentment and boost your confidence to remove the block (sometimes by bringing up past memories or helping work through the emotion).
This lets energy flow again, thereby:
- bringing back your creativity
- giving you more stability in life
- grounding your feet to make decisions easier
See how it all works together? Receiving Reiki healing is a great way to balance some things out and help move forward in life. It even kicks up some old emotions and memories so you can get over them easier and become a better version of yourself.
How Do I Know if My Energy is Blocked?
Typically, your energy is blocked up if you are feeling any of these symptoms for many days (or weeks, or months):
- Unstable
- Anxious
- Depressed
- Low confidence
- Depleted
- Unable to move forward on projects
- Feeling stuck or lost
- Cloudiness or lack of focus
- An extreme emotion that you can’t pinpoint
Any of these could be a cue that that your energy is out of balance, but you may have additional or different symptoms not listed here. If you are not feeling yourself lately, this is probably your biggest indicator that you have an energetic block. You can always reach out to me if you are unsure if a Reiki session would benefit you.
My Reiki Story
Back in 2020, when we had a lot of time to reflect on our lives, I realized that something felt very off with me. It seemed like I had reached a plateau in my therapy sessions and self-help methods, but there was still a hole in my heart. I felt stuck.
I knew I couldn’t move forward in my life until I could let go of it. I had an idea of what it was – anger and resentment about former boyfriends – and I was tired of carrying around the emotional burden. It was time to try something else. I asked around and found a Reiki Master to help me with healing myself energetically. Back then, I had no idea what Reiki really was or how it worked. I just figured it was worth a shot.
During that first session, it was relaxing, I had some interesting memories and thoughts surface, and felt a renewed sense of self. Afterwards, the Reiki practitioner even gave me a healing technique to really let go of that anger. And guess what?
After only one Reiki session and using her technique, things started shifting. I no longer felt stuck and I was able to forgive myself and those ex-boyfriends, finally moving on with my life. I even had more confidence and felt stable for the first time in a while. It was a new ME.
I was hooked, so I kept going for more Reiki sessions.
Reiki helps to uncover pieces of me that were hidden away, and gently release painful memories that have weighed me down all these years. The miracles I’ve witnessed have made me a big advocate for Reiki healing, which led to my own journey in becoming a certified Reiki Master in 2020. Since then, I’ve worked with many people to help them find balance, get back on their life path, and heal emotional pain.

Supporting Data
Some studies have been done about the scientific effects of Reiki, but there is still more research to do. This article by Forbes gives a few examples:
“Researchers at Harvard Medical School followed 99 patients at multiple sites to determine the effects of a single Reiki session. The study – a single arm effectiveness study published in 2019 in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine – found statistically significant improvements in anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as pain and nausea.
Additional research suggests Reiki helps with depression and insomnia. A 2012 study in the Indian Journal of Positive Psychology looked at 40 women who suffered from depression and anxiety. Half of the group received a Reiki treatment twice a week for 10 weeks and the other half received no treatment. The women who received Reiki saw significant improvements in both their depression symptoms and sleep quality.”
Additionally, the article states that over 15% of U.S. hospitals offer Reiki to patients as a complement to medical care.
Client Case Studies
The following case studies are actual accounts about my clients before, during, and after having a Reiki session.
Concern: feeling like life was chaotic and unstable, also experiencing some nausea and arm pain.
Blocks: Energetically very blocked through the body. The main areas were in the solar plexus (confidence center), sacral chakra (creative center), and root chakra (stability/feeling grounded). It was clear that she’s in a time of transition and has some decisions to make about her current and future career. There was also a block in the neck area, which was causing nausea.
What they experienced after: This person did not tell me she was feeling creatively drained until after we discussed what I noticed. I told her I saw that her creative center was dried up and it seemed like her heart was longing for new creative projects. She confirmed that this was true and that she had lost confidence in herself and work, and needed creative inspiration. Since doing the Reiki, she has found new inspiration and excitement to dive into new creative projects. She also had a lot of relief in her arm the following day. Things felt a bit more stable for her as well.
Interesting anecdote: I’ve done Reiki for her a few times. During our first session, I noticed what appeared to be something angry in her left leg that wouldn’t let go. Afterwards, when I told her, she was shocked that I witnessed this in her leg, since she didn’t tell me anything prior to the session. She explained to me that she’d fallen on ice and banged her left knee a few days before, which had been causing a lot of pain.
Concern: Cancer in left front leg and back right leg – limping. Low energy, not eating much and sleeping all the time.
Blocks: Pain emanating from legs under elbows and energy not flowing out through her paws – it’s getting stuck and causing circulation issues as well. Once in a while, energy is getting stuck in her stomach area as well, and can’t flow out through her root, which could be causing her to not eat.
What they experienced after: She seems to love the Reiki and purrs through each time. Her appetite increases, she almost instantly is more mobile and has energy to move around and wants to be near us again.
Interesting anecdotes: She’s being treated every other day. I can feel the pain radiating from her front leg and it shows up visually to me as fire. I use Reiki to neutralize the pain and flow the energy through. Releasing the stagnant energy helps increase the circulation as well. It isn’t a cure for the cancer, but is one tool to give her temporary relief from the pain.
Concern: Lack of clarity, hard to focus/feeling cloudy, depression/anxiety, fatigue
Blocks: Her head was very blocked so no energy could flow in. Her heart and inner authority areas were blocked as well, and was needing to discover how she wanted to transition into a new career path. The challenge of this transition was causing low confidence and fear of moving forward (which manifested in the legs).
What they experienced after: She felt immediate relief from anxiety and has been more productive and focused. The Reiki provided a sense of long-term hope and helped her to feel less alone in life and less drained. Her anxiety/depression was still there but she felt more hopeful it will pass. It helped bring awareness to what was being blocked in her body, and the resources that I gave her helped to move forward through and observe when things are out of balance.
Interesting anecdote: She’s had a couple sessions so far, in addition to working through a Rosa Joy program. During the second session, there was something significant blocking her head, which was causing a lot of issues with clarity and focus. Once that was removed, she’s felt much more clear-headed.
Concern: Depression, fatigue
Blocks: Main blocks were in her solar plexus, head, inner authority, throat. She has too much responsibility, which was clogging up her head (making her think and stress out too much about others). Her inner authority needed to be revived, helping her to know herself more. It was clear that she is not operating within her own voice or inner guidance and doesn’t trust herself, which was contributing to blocks in her throat, inner authority, heart, and solar plexus (confidence center). I also helped to clear some issues in her root chakra, making her feel more stable.
What they experienced after: She had sensations during the Reiki that felt as though I was grounding her into the Earth – like vines and tree roots were wrapping around and helping her to feel more stable. She also noticed feelings like growth of plants and life-giving sunshine, water, peace. Since then, she has found more inspiration for life, more at peace, and a better perspective on life.
Interesting anecdote: I’ve done a few sessions for her over the years, and one session in particular sticks out. During the pandemic, she was feeling low energy and depressed. I noticed in the Reiki session that her energy was depleted – it looked dim and every chakra needed reviving. I helped clear and brighten her energy, as well as worked to bring hope and stability back. The next day, she told me that she went for a walk outside for the first time in weeks. Her energy and zest for life had returned after that Reiki session.
Concern: Restless leg syndrome (nearly every night) and not sleeping well.
Blocks: Energy was completely blocked and could not flow through legs and feet. The source comes from a back injury (coming from here and spreading down). Also holds stress in these areas.
What they experienced after: Restless leg issues have gone from every night to maybe 3 times a month during a time of stress. He’s been tracking his sleep patterns on his watch, and the graphs show that his sleep score has vastly improved over the last several months. He typically feels much more relaxed after a session.
Interesting Anecdote: Been treating 2-3 times a month for the last 8 months. Sometimes he experiences sensations of tingling through his legs, or seeing a blue light, in the middle of a Reiki session.
Concern: Arm/shoulder pain, creative blocks, and feeling worn down.
Blocks: In each session, she had blocks in her arms and shoulders, which made it so energy couldn’t flow through. There were often blocks in her head, which indicated trouble with clarity and some possible depression. Her heart was blocked for a few sessions, but by the end that had cleared up. There was fear lingering in her shoulders/arms, legs/feet in the first couple sessions, but that went away.
What they experienced after: After the sessions, she would sometimes have interesting dreams or memories come up. During the sessions, she would sometimes have messages pop into her head about living life well or she would remember people from her past. She was able to forgive herself in many ways for regrets and start having a new perspective on her life.
Interesting anecdotes: We did 4 sessions over 2 months. I noticed as time went on that her energy was becoming very clean and the blocks/issues she was working through in the beginning were no longer a concern – in fact, they were energetically very strong. She also was feeling much better, more confident, and inspired creatively towards the end of the sessions. Her arm and shoulder pain have been relieved.
*Note: this person was also going through physical therapy and acupuncture. She used Reiki as an additional tool for pain relief.

Disclaimer: Reiki is a tool in your healing tool box. It isn’t meant to be the one cure, but it can significantly aid in healing by removing blocks and layers, while also moving you forward. Just like with any healing, you have to do the work on your end to make changes, too, such as therapy, reflection, and changing things in your life that don’t work. It also is not meant to be a substitution for medicine, treatment from doctors, or therapists.
