Reiki
I am a Reiki Master offering sessions from my home, at Heal Grow Thrive Medicine, and through the St. Charles Medical Center.
My own Reiki journey began with a profoundly transformative experience. During my first session, I had vivid visions — many of which unfolded into reality soon after. That moment awakened something deep in me, and I knew I was called to learn and share this healing energy.
Reiki has become a powerful tool in my own life, and I’m honored to share its benefits with others. My practice is rooted in compassion, presence, and a sincere desire to support others in their journey of healing, health, and transformation.

What is reiki?
1
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) means universal life force energy. Reiki is a Japanese energy-based technique for stress reduction and relaxation, which promotes healing.
What happens during a reiki treatment?
2
In a reiki session you lay fully clothed on the treatment table. Reiki is channeled through my hands to you, through light touch with my hands placed on or near your body.
Reiki creates a state of deep relaxation, which promotes healing by working with your life force energy to help restore the flow of balance on all levels: mind, body, and spirit.
While we converse before and after the session, there is typically no conversation during the session to keep the state of deep relaxation, unless you have a question or request.
What will I experience during a reiki treatment?

How much does a treatment cost?
The goal is for you to feel comfortable and relaxed during your session. You may feel a variety of sensations including warmth, tingling, pulsing, or other sensations. Your mind should calm, and you may experience a dream-like or meditative state. Each person responds uniquely, and the energy flows and heals, regardless of what you feel during the session.
After a session, you may feel the energy continuing to flow. Common experiences include peacefulness and a heightened sense of well-being. Depending on what has been cleared or healed during the session, you may also feel heightened emotions or tired.

people far from Bend, Oregon where I practice
people bed bound or hospitalized
people too ill to come to the reiki room, including unable or contagious
