I often have people ask me about learning Reiki. And my first question is always, “Why do you want to learn Reiki?” For many people simply getting Reiki treatments is plenty for them. They will most likely not self-practice or treat others and choose to simply pay for the treatments. Now, I always love to…

OK, I have something to admit. I have a very hard time “selling” reiki to people who do not already know what it is or have experienced the work. This bothers me because I know for a fact that Reiki works, minimally as a good way to relax and relieve stress, and in many cases…

I have put so much stress and energy into deciding on a health insurance program for hubby and I that it made me realize how much I currently rely on my own natural practices, like pilates and reiki. In the same way that you buy motorhome insurance for accidents or emergencies, but rely on basic…

This will be short but very sweet two day retreat during which I will teach a Usui Reiki I class with attunements.

When fellow pilates teacher and twitter buddy Kerrie Ann Frey asked me about my distance Usui Reiki II training, she really was concerned about whether distance attunements and distance learning for Usui Reiki would be as effective as an in person class, which she experienced in her Reiki I training. After I reassured her that…
