Reiki is a gentle, sacred practice of energetic healing.
It is the art of channeling universal life force energy (the same subtle current that animates all living things) to support balance within the body, mind, and spirit.
During a session, I serve as a calm and grounded conduit, allowing this loving energy to flow where it is most needed.
Reiki does not force or fix. It simply restores harmony, softens what has been held tightly, and invites the nervous system into deep rest.
Many people experience Reiki as warmth, lightness, or a sense of being deeply held. It can feel like a remembering — a return to wholeness. The body often knows how to heal; Reiki gently reminds it of that wisdom.
At its heart, Reiki is an offering of presence, compassion, and intention. It creates space for release, renewal, and quiet transformation.
I work with and serve all families regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability and national origin.

What Is Reiki?
Reiki is the flow of universal life force energy.
The seven chakras are the primary energy centers that receive, process, and distribute that energy throughout the body.
You can think of it this way:
-
Reiki is the current.
-
The chakras are the gateways.
When energy flows smoothly through the chakras, we tend to feel balanced physically, emotionally, and spiritually. When a chakra is blocked, overactive, or depleted, we may experience tension, emotional imbalance, fatigue, or disconnection. Reiki helps restore flow and harmony within these centers.
What Are The Seven Chakras?
The Root Chakra (Muladhara) – Safety & Grounding.
Located at the base of the spine. Associated with survival, stability, and feeling supported.
Reiki can:
-
Calm anxiety
-
Increase feelings of safety

Earth-anchoring stones that resonate with The Root Chakra: Red Jasper, Garnet, Black Tourmaline, Obsidian, Red Carnelian and Smoky Quartz.
Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana) – Emotion & Creativity
Located in the lower abdomen. Associated with emotions, pleasure, sexuality, and creativity.
Crystals that harmonize with the frequency of Svadhisthana: Carnelian, Orange Calcite, Sun Stone, and Amber.

What Happens During A Reiki Session?
A Reiki session is a sacred pause. A return to your own inner light.
When you arrive, we begin by gently opening the space. You may share
what is moving through you, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, or
simply arrive in silence. An intention is softly set, inviting healing in
whatever form is most needed.
You remain fully clothed, resting comfortably on a massage table,
with your hair covered by a hat or scarf, while the room is held in calm
presence. Through light touch or hands hovering just above the body,
Reiki energy is offered. Reiki flows where it is welcome. It meets you exactly
as you are.
This healing energy works beyond the mind. It communicates with the subtle layers of your being, calming the nervous system, clearing stagnant energy, softening emotional residue, and restoring harmony within your energetic field.
Many people experience:
-
Waves of warmth or gentle pulsation
-
A sense of floating or expansion
-
Emotional release or quiet tears
-
Deep stillness
-
Visions, colors, or intuitive insight
-
Or simply profound rest
There is no right way to experience Reiki. Your body and spirit lead the session.
Reiki honors the truth that you are not broken. It helps dissolve what is not yours to carry and strengthens your connection to your own inner wisdom. Often what shifts is subtle like a lightness in the chest, clarity in the mind, or softness in the heart.
Afterward, we gently close the space. You may feel grounded, open, tender, or deeply peaceful. Integration continues long after the session ends, as your system recalibrates in its own sacred timing.
Reiki is not something done to you.
It is something awakened within you.
It is a remembering of wholeness.
I work with and serve all families regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability and national origin.
Meredith brings a blend of compassion and professionalism to her Reiki sessions, creating a space that feels both grounded and gently expansive. She thoughtfully explained the practice to me, which helped me feel informed and at ease throughout the experience. I left the session with a noticeable sense of openness and clarity, as if something subtle but meaningful had shifted. Reiki is a new tool that I will be using more of to support my personal growth work, and I would absolutely use Meredith again for this support!
