Experience the power of healing energy...

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a system of energetic healing developed in Japan during the 1800s. A practitioner conducts universal life energy through the laying on of hands. Reiki can provide physical, mental, and emotional benefits, induce relaxation, and aid in the natural healing process.

Reiki can provide many physical, mental, and emotional benefits for both humans and animals, including:
       Relaxation
       Stress release
       Energetic cleansing
       Chakra balancing
       Increased concentration and memory
       Help with behavioral issues and training
       Relief from anxiety
       Sleep aid
       Relief of muscle tension and soreness
       Accelerate healing
       Release of destructive habits and substance abuse
       Complement to traditional medical treatment
       Eases transition of death and dying
       Enhances intuitive abilities

In children, Reiki has been shown to aid in increasing self-confidence and mitigating the effects of social pressure. Students who practice Reiki tend to learn better in school. They can focus more readily in the classroom and perform better in exam situations.

Can I learn?

Absolutely. Everyone is born with an innate ability to access universal life energy. Over time, our natural skills can fade as our channels become blocked by societal limitations. Taking a class will help you rediscover your natural healing abilities and enable you to use Reiki to benefit yourself and others.

While Michelle does not currently offer Reiki classes, she is more than happy to recommend you to a teaching Master, and regularly assists in classes. Check the Events Calendar for information on upcoming classes and Reiki circles.

What to expect from the Reiki session

Sessions are available remotely (using distance Reiki) or in-home for those in the Portland area. We'll talk for a few minutes before starting the session, during which time we can discuss any issues you'd like to address during the treatment.

In an in-home session your animal may be present for the treatment, or may go elsewhere according to their comfort level. I'll gently place my hands on the animal, hold them over the animal, or perform distance Reiki. Reiki is passed either through nonmanipulative touch (unlike a massage) or it can be "beamed" to an animal without touching them. Distance sessions are just as effective, and may be preferable if the animal is under a lot of stress.

Animals may receive Reiki for a long time, or they may only need 10 or 15 minutes. Often the animal decides when they've had enough, at which point the session will end. I'll relay any information I receive during the session and we can discuss it after the treatment is over.

Schedule an appointment

Contact me to schedule an appointment. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes for animals. In-home sessions may incur additional travel charges.
