What is

Usui Reiki?

Usui Reiki Ryōhō is a traditional Japanese healing art founded in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. The word Reiki translates as “universal life energy,” while Ryōhō means “healing method” or “therapy.” Together, the phrase can be understood as “Usui’s method of healing with universal energy.”

How does it work?

My role as a Reiki practitioner is to hold a safe, sacred space where this beautiful energy can flow. I’m here to offer guidance, share insight, and most of all, to support you in trusting your own healing journey. Reiki isn’t just about easing the body or calming the mind — it’s about coming home to yourself. At its heart, Reiki connects with the deepest part of who you are, gently clearing away fear, pain, and doubt, so you can reconnect with your light, your intuition, and your truth.

When I work with someone, I’m not there to “fix” them. What I do is hold space so they can realign with their own energy, find balance, and awaken the power that’s already within them. Reiki is simply a tool to help you remember your wholeness and to reawaken your connection to universal life force energy — allowing healing to unfold naturally, on every level.

Yes, Reiki can ease physical pain and illness, but it also goes so much deeper. It can help you release old patterns, heal emotional wounds, and find clarity around your path. It calms the mind, softens the heart, and reconnects you with your soul’s purpose. Reiki isn’t a quick fix or a magic wand — it’s a journey, a partnership between you, me, and the energy itself.

I’ve witnessed such beautiful shifts in people who open themselves to Reiki. Reiki reminds us that we are never separate from the divine, from each other, or from the love that holds us. It shows us that healing is possible, change is possible, and that we are always supported by the universe.
