While giving Reiki, I hold the intention of being an instrument of healing grace, and work to let go of agenda, expectation, judgement, and demand for the type or degree of healing. Instead, I wish for the highest possible outcome for the client, as well as divine guidance, wisdom, and right action.
Reiki is grounded in the ideal of compassionate action.
Reiki can also be a way of living - holding a desire to be a healing, loving presence in the world.
In person, Reiki is given by placing hands on the recipient lightly or just above the body, while the recipient is fully clothed. Reiki can also be sent distantly, while the person is in the next room, across town, or half way around the world.
For me, learning Reiki felt like an opening in my life and profoundly connected to my sense of purpose in the world. It also felt deeply familiar. Giving Reiki to others nourishes my soul, and I am grateful to integrate this into my practice.
My Reiki Training & Style
I feel eternally grateful to my Reiki Master Teacher, Marianne Streich, for her teaching, guidance, and attunements. My training from Marianne includes Reiki in the Usui/Tibetan style, which combines elements of Usui, Hayashi, Takata Reiki styles with additional symbols and elements from Tibetan and Hawaiian shamanism and from a Japanese healing method called Johrei, which is similar to Reiki (Marianne Streich, 2025).
My Reiki style also includes specific healing techniques from Marianne herself, which came to her intuitively throughout decades of practice.
Reiki Session Details
Reiki integrated into somatic healing sessions
Reiki-only sessions
Sessions are conducted over Zoom. I recommend clients sitting comfortably/reclining or lying down for the session. I ask that clients place their device in a place where I can see most of their body. Clients are welcome to have blankets, pillows, and make themselves as comfortable as desired. We will check in on an intention for the session, and then move to minimal talking as I give Reiki.
Please Note: Reiki can complement medical treatments, but it is not a substitute or replacement for medical treatment, diagnosis, or examination. You should always consult with a healthcare provider for any physical or mental health concerns.
Rates:
50 min = $200 / 60 min = $240
Following a Reiki session, clients will often report:
Feeling deeply relaxed
Reduced stress and anxiety
Greater sense of peace or calm
Feeling lighter or more clear
Reduced pain or distress
Feeling comforted or nurtured
“ I really enjoy my reiki sessions with Emma and consistently notice uplifting effects.”
“I can feel the shifts during and immediately after our reiki sessions and always feel some sort of relief and deep relaxation both physically and mentally.
In December, I was dealing with intense headaches after surgery, and after a few Reiki sessions with Emma, I experienced complete relief from these headaches, which was truly amazing.
Working with Emma has made a noticeable difference in my mental state and overall well-being. I feel more supported, grounded, and at ease after each session, and I am truly grateful to be working with her.”
