Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique that channels energy to heal and reduce stress through the hands. Reiki can be sent over any distance. The only rule is that the receiver must give the healing practitioner permission to do the healing. Reiki practitioners do not "heal" others, but rather act as conduits for the frequency to move where it needs to in the body. It can be given through light touch or hovering hands.

In long distance sessions, the practitioner goes through their normal process. There is space and intention setting, discussing intention with the client, sending and working with energy, and then the follow up call to discuss the experience. Sound frequency music can be played to assist the distance client throughout the session.

Reiki Journey

A friend introduced me to reiki during the fall of 2023. I was caddying full time. It surprised me how much energy work the role required. I experienced an in person session and felt relief. Later that winter I experienced a distance session with the same reiki master. I could feel the energy moving, paired with a deep relaxation that my body needed.

The following winter I came across an event titled, "Reiki Share Healing Circle," in Cincinnati, Ohio. I was working a sales job at the time and felt heavy working in an office. I went to the group. 15 or so people gathered in a circle. Energy practitioners would move around the room and work on individuals. Each time I went I began to feel more spacious inside and I heard my intuition more clearly. After the third week of attending I felt the call to leave my sales job to pursue art and become a reiki practitioner.

A couple months into my practice, I felt called to camp out while I was caddying, in order to cleanse my energy daily outdoors. During this time I began practicing distance sessions with clients. Following the camping caddie season, I volunteered at a retreat center in Costa Rica to spend more time working with the energy, alongside other practitioners and receivers. This time was spent learning and uncovering deep traumas through medicine ceremonies. I returned to Cincinnati, Ohio. I was received and held in the energy of others helping me process the trauma. On the other side of that work, I began holding energetic space for those processing their own trauma. It has been a gift to learn throughout various life phases.

In my experience, reiki has provided space for myself as well as clients, to reconnect deeper with their internal voice, truth, and body.

Coming from a professional golf caddie background, I desire to work in the golf space to assist performance through energy work.
