Integrative Reiki

Reiki is a calming, restorative energy therapy. Integrative Reiki combines traditional Reiki with other holistic modalities in a personalized, thoughtful way.

Integrative Reiki combines traditional Reiki with other modalities. Like sound and aromatherapy.

We’re all made up of energy, and everything you see and feel around you is energy!

Reiki is a complementary therapy that uses hands hovering lightly above the body, to guide energy to promote your own healing abilities.

The word Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words: “rei,” which means “the higher power” and “ki,” which means “life force energy”, although there is no alignment with a particular religion.

Reiki Benefits You by:

• Helps to manage stress

• Promotes natural healing

• Deepens spiritual connection

• Eases anxiety and depression

• Creates a deeper sense of wellbeing

  What happens in a session:

• You’ll begin the session with a consultation to discuss your needs, hopes and desires. This time is used for co-creating your session so
  it’s personalized and connected to what you’d like to explore and gain from this important time together.

• Your session may include sound healing with singing bowls and/or drums, mindfulness and/or meditation, positive affirmations and coaching. You get to decide!

• Sessions may end with a post discussion and connection to debrief what you’ve experienced and to gain an understanding of your healing process. Again, you get to decide how much, or how little you’d like to share.

• The sessions are co-created, meaning you have a say in the process and what modalities you’d like to incorporate into your session.

Testimonial

“I wanted to try reiki because my extreme depression was detrimental to my daily functioning. Restoration Room is beautiful and welcoming. Nicole sits with you to explain what to expect, and to ask about your expectations. I went there fully trusting of her, and I think that was the best thing for me because I usually don’t allow people to be so close.

Nicole told me she would be touching my feet in order to ground me. I felt a tingling sensation around my ankles, and it felt like she was still touching them even after she’d moved on from there. I felt grounded for the first time in years, and even now when I’m having an anxiety attack, I think about that, and imagine my feet planted firmly on the ground. I still feel the sensation.

After the session, I felt not only grounded, but euphoric, and sort of like I regained my inner strength. That’s a feeling that hasn’t left me, and it honestly helped me more than any anti-depressant ever could. I’m not sure why, but it worked for me, and I felt as if all the things blocking me had been removed.

I’m so grateful that Nicole shared her healing energy with me. It’s peaceful and loving, and maybe the only thing that’s made me feel whole in a really long time.

FAQs about Energy Work

• How does it work?

  • A practitioner uses their hands gently to bring healing energy to your body, either through light touch or from a distance. It’s interesting, because the energy knows where to go in your body.

  • This is a key way to enhance connection and restoration of the parasympathetic nervous system- your rest, restore and digest system, as Reiki is a gentle, loving and kind energy- it’s purpose is to support and love you, and help you see your bright light in the world.

  • The Reiki practitioner is not the energy, they are a conduit that helps healing energy connect to where you need it.

  • You already have the ability to heal yourself and are perfect the way you are. Reiki energy knows this and gently helps you and your body remember it is safe and has its own healing powers.

• Do you need to be spiritual?

  • No, you don't need to be spiritual or hypersensitive to energy to benefit from energy healing. Energy connection is available to everyone because all living beings have an energetic body. And, we are all energy.

• What can you expect?

  • Before a session, you can prepare yourself mentally by relaxing, being open-minded, and setting intentions for what you want to achieve. You can keep your intentions private or share them with your practitioner.
