Usui Reiki at Creative Spirit.

Gentle Energy Healing for Mind, Body, and Spirit

Reiki is more than relaxation — it’s a complementary healing practice recognized by hospitals, wellness centers, and hospices across the country for its ability to support patients dealing with pain, stress, chronic illness, and emotional distress. It’s been used in integrative care for decades, and research supports its benefits for reducing anxiety, enhancing emotional well‑being, and improving overall quality of life.¹²³

What Is Usui Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced “ray‑key”) is a Japanese healing practice founded by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It is based on the principle that universal life‑force energy flows through all living beings. During a session, this energy is gently directed where it’s most needed to help clear energetic blockages, calm the nervous system, and support your body’s natural healing processes.

Why People Choose Reiki

Reiki is a simple yet powerful practice that can help with:

  • Reducing stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm

  • Supporting physical healing (especially during recovery from illness, injury, or medical procedures)

  • Improving sleep and relaxation

  • Easing chronic pain or tension

  • Enhancing overall emotional balance and clarity

Many clients use Reiki as a complement to medical or psychological care, and it’s widely offered in integrative health programs at places like Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and cancer treatment centers across the U.S.⁴⁵

How Often Should I Book Reiki?

Reiki can be experienced as a single session for relaxation or as part of a longer‑term wellness plan. Many people choose to begin with three to five weekly or biweekly sessions to establish a strong foundation, then transition to monthly or as‑needed sessions for maintenance.⁶⁷

A 2025 meta‑analysis found that participants receiving eight or more Reiki sessions lasting 60 minutes or longer reported significant improvements in quality of life, stress relief, and emotional well‑being.⁸ Reiki has been shown to reduce pain, lower anxiety, and improve comfort in clinical settings, including programs for oncology patients, post‑surgical care, and palliative support.⁹¹⁰

What to Expect in a Session

  • Intention‑Setting: We’ll begin with a short conversation to discuss your goals or intentions for the session.

  • Gentle Energy Work: You’ll remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a massage table while I use light hands‑on or hands‑hovering techniques.

  • Deep Relaxation: Most clients experience a calming, warm, or lightly tingling sensation, along with mental clarity and emotional release.

Sessions are private, non‑invasive, and designed to leave you feeling grounded, balanced, and restored.

Reiki vs. Holistic Healing

While Reiki focuses exclusively on energy alignment and stress relief, my Holistic Healing sessions (2.5 hours) combine Reiki with intuitive guidance, shamanic practices, and sound therapy for a deeper, more integrative experience. Reiki is perfect if you’re looking for a short, restorative session to support physical and emotional balance, while Holistic Healing is ideal for those ready for comprehensive transformation.
