WHAT IS REIKI?
The word Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese kanji. The two syllables illustrate two concepts: the Rei (the top portion of the kanji) represents the divine, universal life-force energy and our Spirit our Soul, while the "ki" (the bottom part of the kanji) represents our earthly energies, our bodies and that part of our mind which is manifesting in this material world. Reiki, therefore, helps to align divine energy with our earthly energies.
The practice of Reiki can be described as the "laying on of hands". In the traditional Usui practice, healing energy is directed mostly to the body / organs / glands requiring balance and healing. In the Holographic practice the body sends out images in its auric field, through your chakras, which can be interpreted and cleared. These images can be memories from this life or past lives, or they can be energetic debris. With both practices, it is the Divine Light, or God's Love, which is channelled to effectuate a release of the old energy and increase in renewing energy. Reiki is simple and produces measurable results. It is power, light and love. Reiki transcends the man-made divisions of religion, economics, location, gender, and race.
I have been trained in and practice both Usui and Holographic Reiki. Depending on your healing intention, your session may be more "Usui-style" or "Holographic". For instance, if you need help healing from a cold or a surgery, I will start with Usui Reiki to send healing energy to your body, your filtering organs and your glandular system to strengthen your immune system. However, if you have a long history of colds and flus or other dis-ease, the Usui system may be used to investigate what, in your auric field, is attracting this body condition.
WHAT ARE CHAKRAS?
In many ancient spiritual traditions, people have noticed and documented the presence of points of energy in the body. These energy points have an impact on a person’s well-being on many levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. In Hindu philosophy, there are 7 major chakras, and they are aligned with the spine. In a holographic Reiki session, the practitioner works to remove blockages in the chakras and to improve their energy flow.
WHAT IS ENERGY MEDICINE?
Energy medicine practitioners can see, feel and sometimes hear or taste these energy points. Aura and chakras have the colors of the rainbow, and they can feel like electro-magnetic pulses. Energy medicine practitioners use their hands, aromatherapy, crystals and/or sounds to bring balance and harmony to their patient’s auric field and chakras. During the treatment, the patient can feel heat, cold or energy pulses through the hand of the practitioner.
I like to experiment with energy work. I often feel the difference in my patient's auric field: the aura is much stronger and larger at the end of a session than it was at the beginning.
WHAT CAN REIKI DO?
You will feel deeply relaxed during and re-energized after your session. This state of well-being will help you achieve significant healing in the various layers of your being. Feeling refreshed and positive, you can bring healing to others and to Earth.
This list has been comprised through anecdotal research. Clients have reported feeling:
- More creative
- More balanced
- Less emotional
- Less stressed
- More relaxed
- More vitality
- More awareness
- Less or no pain
- More ability to fall asleep quickly
- More ease of movement
These reported benefits generally lasted at least three to ten days, and often the original problem did not re-occur.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE SESSION?
Come in a relaxed state of mind; be open to the possibilities. To quote Forrest Gump, I find that Reiki sessions are "like a box of chocolate; you just never know what you're gonna get." ;) If your mind is open to it, it will be deep healing -- but what deep healing is and how it is revealed to us is up to our Creator and divine Light energy, and that is not always what we imagine it to be with our human minds...
For your Reiki session, you will be relaxing, fully clothed, on a massage table. Soothing music is playing, a candle is lit, and incense or essential oils may be perfuming the room to further enhance your relaxation experience. The Divine Light and Love is called in through a prayer and guides me to where you need the most healing at the moment - whether it is within your body, your mind, your spirit, your Akashic records or a message from a crossed over loved one. You are only required to relax, to enjoy the moment like a gift you give yourself and to surrender as much as you can to the Divine Love.
If you are booking a "distance" session (you don't always have to be physically here for me to connect to your Higher Self), you are asked to relax comfortably for the time we have booked together.
After your session, remember to drink lots of water to help ground you energetically, and to help your body in its healing process by flushing out toxins. You may need to rest more, or you may feel more energetic -- follow your inner guidance and respect yourself in what you need to feel your best.

ABOUT ME
I am currently completing my Reiki Master's degree (Holographic Reiki). I have studied Usui Reiki with Carol J. Comerford and Holographic Reiki with Angela Carson. I have been studying and practicing Reiki since 2007.
I received my Certificate of Massage Techniques from the Académie de Massage Scientifique in 1998. In addition to Reiki, I offer relaxation massage. A head, hands and feet treatment is excellent to relax the body, relax the mind, and become more open to our Joyful selves.
I have a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Ottawa, in Interpersonal and Organizational Communications, Cum Laude (1998). As part of my thesis, I studied the importance of spirituality in human communication and social drives.
Since childhood, I have had an interest for the Spiritual world in its various forms of expression. Always curious and wanting to be of service, I have studied and experienced several spiritual paths. I can therefore bring a wealth of grounded information, knowledge and experience to my clients.
I am looking forward to being of service to you, for your well-being, and in your spiritual enlightenment.
