Reiki energy balances you physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually in a gentle and effective way. Reiki provides relief from the stresses of everyday life, and assists those who suffer from many of today’s diseases and disorders by providing relief from symptomatic pain and discomfort. Reiki is often used for wellness, stress reduction and relaxation. Reiki’s powerful effects create the conditions that facilitate your own body’s healing abilities. However, it does not cure illness or disease, nor should it be considered as a substitute for medical care.

The healing power of Reiki can also treat our pets and other animals, domestic and wild. Animals innately understand and gravitate towards Reiki and benefit from its healing energy.

Since Reiki is natural and safe, it can be used alone or in conjunction with traditional modalities and allopathic medicine. In my practice, I also offer Reiki in conjunction with PEMF therapy. Among its numerous benefits, Reiki: Reduces Pain, Stress and Anger, Balances Energy on All Levels, Releases Emotional/Physical Trauma, Promotes Healing from Within, Strengthens Natural Immunity, Improves Balance and Coordination, Decreases Injury Recovery Time, Improves Mental Clarity, Removes Toxic Energy Blocks, Enhances Quality of Life, Inspires Healthy Eating and Self-Care.

The effects of a Reiki healing treatment varies with everyone, with many describing similar feelings as well. These feelings may include a floating effect, a more enhanced subtle awareness, subtle “releases” (body twitches), warmth in various places, random and significant insights, and feelings that are often indescribable. Many lose sense of time as well. The usual immediate effects of a Reiki treatment are feelings of calm, relaxation and “centering.”

The calming, “centering” effect of your Reiki treatment often remains with you for several days after, with more profound, subtle effects lasting longer. The Reiki energy is cumulative within the body so the more Reiki you receive, the deeper and longer the beneficial effects will last. For chronic or long-term imbalances (e.g., cancer, MS, depression, etc), the healing effects of Reiki will endure and are assimilated deeper with regular treatments over a six to eight week period (please see my Reiki Package Rates).

It is always recommended to wear loose-fitting and/or light comfortable clothing and socks during your In-Person therapy sessions. I will provide soothing Reiki music, Guided Imagery tracks or you may prefer silence. Please bring your water bottle and put your electronic devices on “silent”/Do Not Disturb mode before your treatment begins. I will review the hand positions with you before we start.

Mini (In-Person) Reiki treatments — last approximately 20 minutes and can be done in any quiet peaceful location while you relax sitting down. During Mini Reiki treatments, I place my hands on or slightly above several upper body positions to bring the Reiki energy to you.

In-Person Reiki treatments — last approximately 60 minutes and are done at my treatment space at Symmetry Collective while you recline on a comfortable Reiki table under a cotton sheet with Reiki music softly filling the space. During In-Person Reiki treatments, I place my hands on or slightly above the major energy centers of the body (both front and back) and possibly other areas that may be unbalanced where you may need more Reiki energy focused. The Reiki energy flows “intuitively” to balance and heal you where it is most needed. I will always ensure your comfort before we start.

Distant Reiki treatments — last approximately 60 minutes and are a practical and convenient way to receive Reiki since you don’t need to be physically present. When you receive Reiki treatments in the comfort of your home, you have the option of drifting off to sleep which often happens. I will send you a Zoom link at the time of your session and will connect with you before I start the Distant Reiki treatment. During the session, you may listen to soothing Reiki music or a Guided Imagery track as you relax allowing the Reiki energy to work more effectively. A Distant Reiki session uses the same hand placements as In-Person Reiki treatments. Distant Reiki is often sensed as being more powerful than In-Person Reiki because the energy is focused mentally, rather than physically, with the same profoundly relaxing effect as In-Person sessions.

Animal Reiki — Reiki is very effective for all animals from cats and dogs, reptiles and birds to wild animals and farm animals. Our precious animals enjoy and benefit with the healing energy of Reiki, especially during recovery from injuries, surgery and trauma. They are “sponges” for Reiki energy regardless of their health status as they naturally understand and appreciate the comfort of Reiki energy. The Reiki experience for all animals is interactive via a natural intuitive connection. Reiki treatments for domestic animals are usually done in-person; and for wild and farm animals, Distant Reiki is used. Reiki rates for animals vary depending on the animal size and their location. Contact Barbara to learn more about the wonderful experience of animal Reiki healing.

I am excited to offer the added therapeutic benefits of the HealthyLine full-body therapy TAO mat. HealthyLine mats are used in many doctors’ offices and other medical/ therapeutic environments. The TAO mat provides several types of therapies such as Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Frequency (PEMF), deep Far-Infrared (FIR) heat, Detoxification, and the added effects of Negative Ions. This amazing mat is lined edge-to-edge with 12 pounds of genuine tourmaline, amethyst and obsidian, and provides many therapeutic benefits, including the deep FIR benefits of these healing gemstones.

Note: Heating the mat is optional with these therapies, except Detoxification. Despite the numerous benefits, there are certain physical conditions when using PEMF is not recommended--these conditions are listed on my Consent form provided to you before your first treatment. The TAO mat can always be used for its other healing benefits with no PEMF.

Please click the following link for detailed information on the numerous health benefits of the TAO Gemstone mat and other HealthyLine therapeutic mats: www.healthyline.com.

The ultimate in deep relaxation and healing happens when you receive your Reiki treatment on the TAO full-body therapy mat as the PEMF allows your body to more-deeply receive other healing modalities, including the healing benefits of Reiki energy. This treatment combination cannot be described — it must be experienced.

You may also choose to receive the benefits of the TAO mat’s Far-Infrared and PEMF therapies with no Reiki. During your PEMF treatment, you will most likely drift off with soft music playing while you absorb the healing energies during your time relaxing on this therapeutic mat.

The TAO mat limits the PEMF function to last 20 minutes which is the optimal time period to receive the maximum benefit from PEMF.

Detoxification — The TAO mat heating function can also be used to safely detoxify the body. When the mat is utilized this way, the heat is increased and a Mylar blanket is used to cover your body to increase the mat’s heat resulting in evaporative detoxification via perspiration. I will also provide plenty of water which is essential for this process to be most effective. You will be made comfortable for this process. Repeated sessions may be necessary to obtain the maximum benefit depending on your situation.

Once we connect and schedule your first Reiki, PEMF and/or Detoxification treatment, I will send you an In-Take/Consent form to complete or you may print it by clicking below:

Consent Form

You may also provide the information for the In-Take form by phone. You will also receive a payment link prior to your first treatment session (or series of sessions); I accept fee-free payments via Venmo and Zelle. Then, when your payment is received, I will reserve the treatment space at Symmetry Collective, and will text (or call) you with an appointment reminder 24 hours before your treatment session is scheduled. My Cancellation/Rescheduling policy and treatment restrictions are included on the Intake/Consent form. Tips/gratuities are gratefully not accepted.
