Reiki is a Japanese Vibrational Energy Healing Method bringing physical, mental and emotional, and spiritual harmony by balancing Chi. Gendai Reiki Ho is a school of Reiki rarely taught outside of Japan. Through the Empowerment given by a Shihan (GRH Master Teacher), practicing Reiki meditation and breathing, and giving and receiving a hands on Reiki session, you will learn to sense, perceive and utilize its energy using specific hands on methods to:  Reduce stress and pain, speed healing, enhance intuition, improve relationships, help friends and family, stimulate creativity, assist with work and career, and manifest goals. It is valuable in addressing emergencies and acute conditions, as well as underlying emotional and spiritual crises, and is frequently taught to medical staff for use in hospitals.

As a retired PhD psychologist and Reiki Master Teacher for almost 25 years, I can attest to its value in working with mood and other medical imbalances, trauma and addiction. Its compassionate and joyful energy is calming, clarifying and grounding. Reiki benefits all living beings and situations — plants and animals love it (you may even get to meet Barnaby the Reiki Dog). And most of all, it’s a beautiful way to love yourself! - Gianna
