What is Reiki?

​

Reiki is a form of Japanese energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy. 

​

How does Reiki work?

​

Each one of us has an energy field with a measurable frequency. Reiki practitioners are trained to create subtle shifts in their client’s energy fields to bring awareness, release, restoration, and ultimately balance. We like to think of feelings like stress, anxiety and pain as glaciers in our body. Reiki helps to break up these glaciers so that pieces can begin to float to the surface so we can become more aware of - and ultimately heal them. A lot of us avoid stillness because we think it’s going to be painful, but Reiki does the opposite, it makes us feel calm.

​

Who does Reiki work for?

​

Anyone can receive energy healing. You do not need to have any experience or believe in anything to experience the benefits of Reiki, thus, it has become widely accepted as a complementary therapy in hospitals, cancer-support centers, and palliative care. After a session, people report an increased sense of ease, peace, and balance.

 

What can I expect? 

​

Before your session, you'll chat with Lauren about how you are feeling and what you are looking for. During a session, she will gently move her hands just above or on the client’s clothed body (only with your consent), encouraging a healthy flow of energy. Afterwards you’ll have time to share feedback with Lauren on any emotions or sensations you experience during your session as well as her observations about your energetic field and areas of continued focus. 

​

I've never met Lauren, what's she like?

 

Lauren is an extraordinarily intuitive energetic healer. She is a humble and deeply wise practitioner who believes that listening to our body and intuition will guide us to our own ultimate healing and vitality.
