Spiritual Counseling and Reiki Therapy
Spiritual Counseling
A holistic approach to healing, addressing the mind, body, and spirit. This form of counseling delves into the spiritual, metaphysical, and existential meanings behind experiences, providing insights and tools for personal growth. Spiritual counseling focuses on healing the whole person and emphasizes self-acceptance, self-control, self-respect, self-responsibility, self-awareness, and respect for free will. By tapping into individual belief systems and faith in a higher power, spiritual counseling aims to help individuals achieve a deeper connection with this power and explore areas of conflict in life. Spirituality is not always linked to religion but can be an awareness of the universe and one's connection to it. Many activities can help connect the body and mind with the soul, allowing individuals to explore their deepest parts. Spiritual Counseling can be a beneficial model for those seeking a more profound level of self-discovery and healing.
Reiki Therapy
Reiki (Pronounced RAY-KEE) is a technique that uses spiritually guided life force energy to connect one with the Source of life. It is a gentle and non-intrusive hands-on healing technique that doesn't involve pressure, manipulation, or massage. Reiki is a holistic system that aims to balance, heal, and harmonize all aspects of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Our sessions will involve the balancing of your chakras, which are the energy centers tied to various facets of our lived experience. To live our most fulfilling experience, we must clear our chakras of any negative blockages that we have placed there knowingly or unknowingly. Sessions usually last 30-60 minutes and involve some discussion before treatment. Please wear comfortable clothes for the appointment!
What To Expect During Your Reiki Treatment:
I always advise my clients to approach a Reiki session with the same mindset as they would a massage. The most important thing you can do is to relax as much as possible, keeping an open heart and mind, and simply enjoy the treatment. It's best to have a quiet setting where you won't be disturbed during your session. If you're receiving a house call, a professional Reiki practitioner will be experienced in creating that space for you. They may play soft music during the session to mask any background noise, but if you prefer silence, just let them know. Additionally, essential oils are often used during the treatment, so please inform your practitioner if you have any sensitivities to smells or essential oils. Crystals may also be used during the treatment to help heal and balance, as they are an element from the earth.

Here are some key points about Spiritual Counseling & Reiki:
Remember that Spiritual Counseling & Reiki are not meant to replace medical treatments, but to complement them. They cannot cure or treat medical conditions alone, but they may help to reduce pain and anxiety and promote relaxation during the conventional treatment process. It's important to keep in mind that in cases of acute medical conditions or life-threatening situations, immediate medical intervention is necessary. Spiritual Counseling & Reiki should never be used as a replacement for professional medical care. The same applies to mental health conditions as well. If you're experiencing undiagnosed mental health issues, it's important to seek help from a mental health practitioner before considering complementary spiritual counseling or holistic healing practices, such as Reiki. These practices are not an alternative to conventional medical care. If you require medical attention, always seek appropriate medical treatment and follow the advice of healthcare professionals.
