Holistic Healing Modalities:

A holistic approach to counseling or coaching means addressing all parts of the person as an interconnected whole. More and more people are seeing the value in multiple avenues for healing. These are alternative healing methods that I also offer, and can incorporate into treatment if desired:

• Reiki Healing- a form of energy healing that originated in Japan, in which a practitioner, who has been attuned to universal energy, channels this into a person (usually through touch, but I often do a form which does not require touch) to activate that person’s own natural healing processes to increase well-being. It is not associated with a specific religion, and is practiced by people all over the world of different belief systems. I am a Reiki Master, and was attuned to the Japanese-style Reiki lineages, rather than Western style. I was trained by a Master who studied with students of Mikao Usui (the originator of Reiki) in Japan. I have been trained in Reiju empowerments used by the originator’s surviving students and kotodoma. Kotodoma means “word spirit” and uses the vowel sounds/phrases that can be paired with visual images for the purpose of healing. There are some studies currently being done on Reiki, and past studies that have shown potential evidence that Reiki alters the electromagnetic field around the body.
