Reiki, pronounced "ray-key," is a hands-on natural healing technique with ancient origins. Reiki was rediscovered by Mikao Usui in Japan during the early 1900's, and later brought to America by Hawayo Takata during the mid-1900's. Usui Shiki Ryoho is the system of Reiki that was taught by Hawayo Takata in Hawaii, which is the same system of Reiki that we use in our practice today. The word Reiki translates to universal life energy.

Reiki is performed by the practitioners placing their hands very gently on the client or holding their hands a few inches above the body, while the client remains fully clothed. Reiki can also be sent over distance by an advanced (Level II or above) practitioner. A typical Reiki session is an hour long, however any session duration provides the client with the opportunity to relax, find balance and heal.

Reiki energy flows to where it is needed in your body and enhances all naturally occurring healing processes. Healing can take place on the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual level. Most people experience a very calming and peaceful feeling during a Reiki session.

You should receive Reiki as often as you feel is right for you. Only you can truly know what feels right. As a general wellness guide, we suggest Reiki sessions 1-3 weeks apart for concerns, and 3-6 weeks apart for maintenance.

Tarot cards are small paper cards similar to playing cards. They are tools used for a type of divination called cartomancy. The cards are marked with specific images or symbols that represent themes and archetypes. They help the reader to access universal wisdom and apply it to the human experience.

Tarot readings help you to see situations from a different perspective. They also help to illuminate the things that are going on subconsciously. The insight that you gain from a reading can be helpful on a physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual level.

Although future influences may be observed in a reading, the creator of your destiny is you. We believe in free will. Think of the future aspect of a Tarot reading as a forecast based on the path that you are on, or the paths that are available to you. Storms may sometimes be seen on the horizon, but remember that they can usually be handled through careful preparation and navigation.
