While reiki supports the body’s healing, it is not intended to heal people of physical ailments and is not a replacement for medical care. Likewise with serious mental health issues that require medication or therapy. However, if you are experiencing illness, reiki is wonderful for relieving the emotional stress that accompanies it. To that end, reiki is being offered in a number of hospitals in Canada and the USA. Reiki is a soothing source of support for those in grief, or those who suffer from bouts of depression. “Life Energy” also opens channels for personal and spiritual growth.

It is not always possible to book an in-person reiki session - you may be ill, away for work, on vacation, or visiting with people, and feel that your energy level is low or you are anxious or aggravated or just a little "off". The good news is that you can receive reiki without touch, from the next room or half way around the world. We call this "Distance Reiki". Distance Reiki allows you to receive the benefits of in-person sessions, in your own home or any location, saving time, eliminating travel, and more rushing around (not to mention gasoline!). It is also available when Sabrina is away!

Energy is not confined by time or space. Just as a radio signal or cell phone transfers energy to the intended recipient, in distance reiki, energy flows through the practitioner to you, going where we intend and invite it to go, regardless of physical distance.

Usually, in a reiki session you lie face up, fully dressed (apart from shoes) on a massage table. While gentle music plays you simply lie there and breathe. The reiki does all the work.

You have the option of being touched on your head, shoulders, arms, legs and feet or if you prefer not to be touched, I can hover my hands over you.

You also have the option of using crystals or not. Since everything is made of energy, the crystals help to heighten the effectiveness, but they aren’t a requirement.

You may feel a tingling sensation, heat from my hands or a light pressure where my hands have been. As the session unfolds, you may find yourself falling asleep or lucid dreaming (in which you’re asleep and dreaming, yet still aware of what is happening). You may become teary, depending on what you’re living through and what your body is holding. This is perfectly fine. You are in a safe place. At the end of the session people report feeling very centred and calm.

Reiki, whether in person or distance, helps you to experience bodily, emotional and spiritual healing and growth. Since "our issues are in our tissues" you will notice deep physical relaxation and the release of bodily stress. This may result in feeling calmer, lighter and more centred. Emotional release may occur as blocks and anxiety are shifted; you may notice more mental clarity, tenderness and strength. Spiritual healing may also unfold as you let go of past wounds, find direction for your life, make choices about your character or seek a higher power. Reiki also grounds and focuses you for your spiritual practices such as meditation, prayer, journaling, etc.

Long distance Reiki is a safe, effective, and flexible way to receive energy healing without being physically present with the practitioner. The benefits it offers are similar to in-person sessions, including relaxation, emotional release, and energy balance, all from the comfort of your own space.

Skeptical? The first session is free! You have nothing to lose in trying it and much to gain.

From my background as a spiritual teacher, I accompany those who are on a spiritual journey or hoping to grow as a person. This is done through conversation, reflection and spiritual practices. During the hour we listen not only to ourselves, but also for Spirit’s guidance.
