Reiki is a traditional method of energy healing that reduces stress, offers relaxation, and encourages the body to restore and repair itself autonomously. Reiki has been proven to treat almost every known illness and condition, works well in tandem with other medical and therapeutic practices, and has only positive, beneficial effects. Reiki stimulates your own natural healing abilities.

The word "Reiki" is comprised of two individual Japanese words: ‘rei’ meaning “wisdom or higher power” and ‘ki’ meaning “universal life force energy.” Reiki is the transmission and usage of universal life force energy to restore natural, healthy function to body, mind, & spirit.

Reiki works intuitively to balance your body and restore its natural homeostasis.

For us, somatic practices support self connection and offer spaces to introduce deeply intimate conversation. Techniques like movement, dancing, breath work, meditation, tapping, and more help us to engage with our bodies in really powerful ways - freeing stored energy, emotion, and feeing.

Reiki is typically thought of as “laying of hands.”

Your practitioner has been attuned to Reiki energy and is able to transmit it via their hands.

During a Reiki treatment, Reiki energy is not coming from your practitioner. Practitioners are channels that energy passes through. Universal life force energy is constantly flowing all around, through, and within us. Your practitioner connects with, guides, and supports Reiki as it passes into your body.

Your energy cannot mix with your practitioner’s nor will their energy mix with yours.

You may also receive Reiki virtually! Using sacred symbols and techniques, Reiki can be transmitted over distance and across time.

Our practice can involve physical touch. Your practitioner may lay their hands on important points in order to effectively and efficiently channel Reiki energy into your body.

Your practitioner will detail exactly when and where they will place their hands before and during your session.

Our practice may also involve hovering hands. Instead of laying hands on your body, your practitioner may hover their hands above. Although their hands are not touching the energetic point itself, energy will still flow and stimulate the body exactly as above.

We are committed to ensuring the comfort and safety of all our clients. We will always ask for consent, welcome chaperones, and create healthy environments that are conducive to your specific healing.

You may also receive Reiki virtually and entirely free from touch!

If you have any medical concerns or are pregnant, it is always a good idea to check with your medical provider prior to beginning additional treatment.

Reiki is safe for all people, ages, health concerns, etc. Reiki has no reported negative side effects.

Sometimes, Reiki brings up intense emotion. You may experience waves of feeling during and after your treatment. These feelings are a sign that you are releasing unnecessary stores of energy, energetic binds, or emotional blocks.

Sometimes, Reiki can cause sleepiness, hunger, and thirst. We recommended eating a balanced meal and having a tall glass of water at least a few hours prior to your session and a shortly after to help nourish your body and replenish its resources.

The amount of Reiki that you need is entirely dependent on you, but we see that most simple concerns are treated in about 6-12 sessions.

More complex concerns require months or even years of treatment.

It is important to keep in mind that you are the ultimate guide to your own healing journey. The speed at which you heal is reflective of your willingness, dedication, and commitment to the process - when it is easy, and especially when it is challenging.

Our sessions range from 60 to 120 minutes.

Before beginning Reiki, you and your practitioner will spend a few minutes checking in about your mind, body, and spirit.

Depending on your needs that day, you may lay on a treatment table, be positioned into restorative yoga poses, or invited to move while your practitioner offers Reiki healing to you.

Once Reiki has completed its work, your practitioner will answer any questions you have, debrief the session, and may even offer fun “homework” to explore before your next treatment.

Distance Reiki offers all the same healing benefits of in-person reiki but from the comfort of your own home!

You and your practitioner will meet via Zoom or Facetime. Your practitioner will open a sacred space and channel Reiki energy to you.

The rest looks and feels just like an in-person Reiki treatment!

For the most part, Reiki has the potential to treat every illness and concern. Over the many years of practice, Reiki has been shown to treat and offer support to almost every type of physical and mental concern, illness, and disease.

While we believe in Reiki and its marvelous healing ability, we cannot guarantee that healing will happen.

Reiki exists to aid us in learning to heal ourselves from within. It delivers a strong sense of autonomy and personal drive. We must learn to take ownership over our bodies, our minds, and our spirits if we want to be graced with total healing.

Keep in mind that your practitioner can only take you so far…ultimately you will play as much a role in your healing as your practitioner.

If you do not allow for healing, it will not happen.

As of now, most insurance companies do not recognize Reiki healing.

However, we may be able to work with FSA, HSA, and out of network benefit accounts.

While every human has the ability to offer Reiki, we are not naturally attuend to it. A Reiki training is necessary. Trainings offer education, tools, sacred symbols, and opening attunements needed to practice reiki on yourself and others.

You cannot actively practice Reiki without having attended a formal training.

Think of yourself like a closed jar. Right now, the lid is on very tight. There is energy outside the jar but it cannot get in because of the tightly closed lid.

An attuenement is like taking the lid off of the jar. Suddenly, you are open to the energy all around you and it can pour inside.

Each attunement will teach you how to work with the various types of universal energy surrounding you. Each attunement will also teach you how to harness this energy and transmit it into others. You cannot skip levels and will be unable to work with certain types of energy until you are attuned to/for them.

Similarly to the receipt of Reiki during a treatment, attunements are generally positive experiences.

When offered correctly, the attunement process is healing and offers support to both the mind and body.

However, attunements must be given on a very strict schedule (at least 6 hours apart). If you receive attunements too fast or too close together, your body may become overwhelmed by the sudden influx of energy. In this instance, it is common to experience lightheadedness, nausea, vomiting, emotional release, and a general disconnect with the present moment.

When choosing a Reiki training, always ensure that attunements are given at appropriate intervals.

It depends on you!

Traditionally, practitioners apprenticed for upwards of 10 years before going out to work on their own.

Unfortunately, most modern trainings focus on profit and take place over one weekend. The integrity of the practice is lost.

We try take a more traditional and educational approach to our trainings. We do our best to respect both the sacred practice of Reiki and adjust to keep up with modern times.

We offer 30-day apprenticeships that ensure the success of our trainees.

Higher level and master level attunements take longer and require commitment and dedication.

We literally mean movement! As personal trainers, yoga + pilates teachers, and as fitness instructors we know that there is no one-size-fits-all type of exercise routine.

We’re here to offer supportive workouts that make sense for you and your mind, body, spirit.

Training may include traditional weighted exercises at home or in a gym, combinations of body weight movements like calisthenics, yoga, and piates, functional movements like CARS and mobility work, and more.

We train for the live we’re living!

We train humans of all ages, sizes, fitness and experience levels.

Whether this is your first time moving or you’ve been groovin every day for forever, we’re here to offer a supportive and empowering growing environment.

Each plan is custom made each session for you!

This is up to you! Our trainers can support occasional movement mapping and check-ins as well as weekly movement!

Some clients workout multiple times a week while others use Reach & Reiki as a friendly resource for growth.

You and your trainer will work together to build a cadence that supports you.

Each training plan is unique and ever-evolving. Our trainers work with you 1:1 to ensure we’re always offering supportive and accessible opportunities for movement. For the most part, you can expect new workouts and will receive new resources each time you meet with your trainer.

If a long-term program is created, you’ll receive workouts on a periodized schedule.

We can move at the Reach & Reiki office, in your home, or at any local gym. We have multiples pathways to move together!

No! We believe in creating movement plans that work for the life you’re living. We can workout in many ways, using many different modalities + equipment.

If a gym is preferred or needed, Reach & Reiki can provide access to many local gyms and fitness centers.

Yes! We perform a thorough intake prior to beginning any movement. Depending on your specific body and concerns, we may require clearance from your medical provider prior to beginning a movement training plan.
