During a Reiki treatment, light touch is used on or just above the body to facilitate a state of deep relaxation. This process reduces stress and clears blockages in the major energy centers of the body. Reiki is a non-invasive gentle form of energy work that uses life force energy to create a state of well-being, therefore promoting the body’s natural ability to heal.
Many RESEARCH STUDIES have proven the beneficial effects of Reiki and it has been effective in helping virtually every known illness. Reiki also works in conjunction with all other medical and therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. Reiki is offered by nurses in at least 76 hospitals and cancer centers nationwide.

“Pregnancy is an intense time physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. This was especially true for me since the passing of our 3 yr old daughter a year before. I was so thankful to be pregnant but still heavily grieving. Gabe’s healing Reiki treatments supported me just the way I needed throughout pregnancy and during delivery. .”
