free programs
my gifts to you
It is my deepest honor to share Reiki with others. I am committed to making Reiki accessible to anyone who wishes to benefit from it. I’m excited to offer two new free programs.
These programs are available at no cost, as my gift to you. Should you wish to make a donation, it will be used to support scholarships for the other programs I offer.

community Reiki sessions -- everyone welcome!

community reiki sessions
We’ve all been through a lot collectively and individually recently. Is the stress and uncertainty of life affecting your physical, emotional and mental wellbeing?
Join us for a community gathering to help you reset, restore, and return to your center. Pause and take care of yourself, and be a part of a supportive community.
In this free one hour session (currently offered online), we’ll begin with a brief meditation and grounding exercise and move into a 30 minute distance Reiki session. Following the session there is optional time to reflect and share your experience.
How do I prepare for a Distance Reiki session?
To receive a distance healing you do not have to be in a meditative state, just be open and willing to receive. Ideally, try to find a quiet place where you will be relatively undisturbed for about an hour, and where you will be comfortable sitting or lying down. You may wish to light a candle and prepare your space in a way that feels right to you, but this is not necessary. Such preparations may be helpful, but there is nothing you need to do except be open to receive.
What will happen during the session?
Before the session:
Log into the Zoom meeting with the link provided. You are welcome to show up a few minutes early to make sure technology is cooperating with you. If you have any questions about Zoom, email me in advance, I’m happy to help.
During the session:
When we gather to begin, I encourage people to have their video on during the welcome so we can all connect with each other, but it is your choice. After a welcome, I will lead the group in a short breathing and grounding meditation, usually 5-10 minutes. If you wish, this is a good time to set an intention for the session, or you may choose to be open to whatever is meant for you to receive. After the meditation, I will begin the Reiki session. During the session, I’ll turn my video off and music will be playing in the background.
The Reiki session usually lasts about 30 minutes. When it is complete I’ll gently guide the session to closure and let you know we are finished. I will leave the room open for several minutes if you wish to reflect on your experience of the session with me or with others in the group, or you may simply leave the room when you feel ready.
What can I expect to feel during the session?
A sense of peace and relaxation is often felt during the session. Most people feel relaxed and many fall asleep. You may notice subtle changes in your body during the session, like heat, tingling, or coolness and/or you may have visual experiences during your distant healing session. You may not notice any of these or anything at all. Each person responds differently to Reiki energy, and what you feel or don’t feel is no indication of whether Reiki is working or not. Be assured it is working! However your body responds is right for you, and whatever happens, the session will be successful. The Reiki healing energy may work on physical, emotional, mental or spiritual levels as needed and directed by your higher self.
It is important to remember that healing is a process and to allow the time necessary for healing to happen. After the session you should drink extra water.
