Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy healing technique predominantly used to effect stress reduction and relaxation.
I have been practicing Reiki regularly and offering services on a volunteer basis since 2008. I currently hold two Master Practitioner / Teacher certifications -- one in Usui/Tibetan Reiki Ryoho, and a second in Karuna Reiki® -- both of which I obtained through William Lee Rand's International Center for Reiki Training. William was one of my four Master teachers, placing me fourth in line to Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of the practice. You can obtain extensive information concerning Reiki from the Center's website at www.reiki.org.
I have also spent time studying under two Tibetan monks -- one of the Nyingma school of Buddhism, and another of the Bon tradition. These have been very unique experiences, and I frequently draw from that knowledge in my Reiki sessions.
