“I chose to work with Maria initially because of how passionate she is about the work that she does. She really makes an effort to understand where you are at on a personal level, which helps the process. I began working with her for talk therapy and eventually scheduled a Reiki session with her, which I found to be very healing. I can count on leaving sessions with her feeling relaxed, at ease and with a new perspective. I highly recommend her services”. -Donna L.
“Maria is a highly skilled Reiki practitioner—she has great energy and is so full of light, you can’t help but feel better after you see her. I have been working with Maria for several months now doing weekly Distance/Reiki sessions. Though I am an Usui Reiki Master, Maria has a truly unique talent. I’ve benefitted immensely from her ability to heal others and heartily recommend her services to anyone who is tired of being tired and just wants to feel good again”. -Rebecca H.
What is Reiki? What Should I Choose it? What Can I Expect in a Reiki Session?
We ARE Reiki. –Frans Stiene
Reiki quite literally translates to ‘spiritual life force’.
Rei=Spiritual. Ki= life force.
Origin: Japan
In the Japanese understanding of connectedness, humans are always connected in the sense of ‘oneness’. With that, energy is always present and knows no space and time or boundary; humans are experiencing it together collectively. Hence, the “sending” of Reiki to someone is viewed more as sharing a sense of ‘oneness’, that we inherently possess within (West, 2020).
I pause, to draw a parallel to the Nikola Tesla quote that follows, “if you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”. Energy is all around you. Energy is malleable and fluid. You can manipulate it and harness it in ways that support you in working with the energy versus against it. Reiki is a good example of that, in the sense that it is accessible to everyone and it is therefore, up to you to take accountability for the role in which you decide to interpret it and/or apply it to your life.
For example, if you are resistant to Reiki or skeptical of its’ workings, Reiki will only be as effective as you allow it. As a psychotherapist, by default I use the example of an individual who is resistant to coming to therapy. If one is resistant to treatment, then one can only get so far in the healing process. ‘You are who you’ve been waiting for’ in the sense that you hold the key to both refraining from and/or opening up to energy as a form of healing.
Distance Reiki sessions are offered Virtually. In person sessions are not being offered at this time.
I scan your energy body virtually using Reiki techniques and the gentle touch of my hands. The head, shoulders, chest, stomach and kidneys are most commonly worked with. My approach to Reiki is unique in the sense that I work alongside the chakra system, working to clear areas of blockage, in efforts to optimize and restore balance and homeostasis to each chakra point. Areas of physical ailment (such as an ear ache or tweaked knee for example) are also areas of focus when indicated.
During the session, as I offer Reiki and scan your body, you may experience an array of sensations: from heat or coolness to a light tingling or buzzing sensation in different areas of your body. The sensations that you experience is natural and signifies that your energy body is both purifying and realigning itself. Deep relaxation as well as a sense of peace may also be experienced by the end of session.
