One on One Reiki Healing sessions

I am a certified Okuden Level II Reiki Practitioner, practicing the traditional Japanese form of Reiki called: Usui Reiki Ryoho. This is the non-modernized practice supported by the International House of Reiki. I have held numerous healing sessions both in person and distinctly through zoom and have a real passion for promoting healing in all beings in all walks of life.

I have been studying and practicing Reiki for the past 6 months under Shinpiden Reiki Master, Khadijah Renee. Due to my energetic investment and skill in the craft, I am charging the energetic exchange of $55 for a 1hr and 15 minute healing session. I offer both distance healing sessions and in person healing sessions. I mostly take payment through my Venmo: @Sydney-Donovan-2, however if this isn’t your preferred payment method I am extremely flexible and we can find an alternative together.

What is reiki?

Reiki by definition means ‘spiritually guided life force energy.’ As a Reiki practitioner, I have been attuned to this life force energy Dr. Usui (the founder of Reiki) was enlightened by in early 1920 Japan. With this spiritual energy, I work to promote your own body’s capacity to heal. The body has an energetic system known as ‘the chakra system’. This system is made up of seven major light centers of energy (root, sacral, solar, heart, throat, third eye, and crown). A healthy, free flowing, and spinning chakra system is like a river flowing with energy. If there is a stone in this river it blocks the energy from flowing properly. As humans, blockages in a chakras can point to physical and mental health issues. Reiki can not substitute medication or advice from a medical professional but, it certainly can aid the healing of these issues. When a chakra system is healthy, we are healthy. After sessions clients feel extremely relaxed and are more deeply at peace, more in the now, and overall more compassionate for the beings around them. This is a beautiful experience I highly recommend trying at least once.

Distance Reiki Healing

We will start by chatting a bit about Reiki in general, how it works in this form, and why your are seeking healing in general. Then I will help you get comfortable and into your meditative state. I will have you (the screen) set up in front of a body pillow, imagining that the pillow is your physical body. I will give the pillow a Reiki session as if it is your physical body. I am visualizing the energy being sent to your body by keeping your image and essence in the forefront of my mind. I will also talk you through all the actions I’m doing as you are in your meditative state. I will express any sensations you would be feeling if you were receiving an in person reiki session, such as the warm touch of my hand in a particular part of your body so that you can also focus your minds eye there.  I will assess all your chakras and then proceed to send energy to open, cleanse, balance, align, and heal each of them.

Distanced healing is just as beneficial as in person healing. Energy is energy. It can be transferred and received in any and all ways.

 All you need to do is have a comfortable space to lay, an open mind, a glass of water nearby, and a journal for any sensations or images that may come up.

If you have crystals you can also have them nearby and we can place them on certain chakras depending on the types of crystals you have, but this is not necessary. I use crystals during Reiki sessions because they pair wonderfully with the technique although crystal healing is not part of reiki healing. The crystals help to aid and enhance the energy flow, have strong healing properties, and are just so much fun. 

At the end of the Reiki session we talk and share both of our experiences of the session. There is no pressure to say or experience anything profound but I find in most cases we will have very similar experiences. So this sharing is just a fun way to talk about energy, your energetic system, and tools to keep your energy open. I also offer an oracle card pulling for extra clarity, if you are interested. The oracle cards often confirm what we have spoken about and can paint a more clear picture of the energy we are picking up on. I find it to be a wonderful way to end the session!

In person reiki healing

These sessions can be held anywhere! It depends on your preference and comfortability. We can have our session at my home in South Philadelphia, at your home, or outside in Jefferson Square Park (depending on the weather).  The only things you’ll need for the session is an open mind, a glass of water, and a journal for any sensations or images that may come up. You can also come with your crystals but this is not necessary.

I will have you lay down on either my reiki table, blankets and cushions in the park, or a place you feel comfortable in your home. We will start by chatting a bit about Reiki in general, your preference of hands on healing or floating hand healing, and why you are seeking healing in general. Then I will help you get comfortable and into your meditative state. Once you are relaxed and I have connected to your energy I will start my assessment of your chakra system. I can then place my own crystals on your chakras, or we can use some of yours if you have a collection you feel attached to.

Then, the healing starts. I work on the physical, emotional, and spiritual level of each chakra to help balance, align, cleanse, and heal the whole system. During a session we may see, hear, or sense things from your energy that we can chat about after the session. It is best to go into a reiki session with an open mind and no expectations. The mystery is the fun part! Your body is doing the healing, I am merely guiding and promoting healing energy. Sessions are never overwhelming but if you are ever feeling uncomfortable you have full agency to speak up and stop the session at anytime. In other words, you are in complete control!

Similar to distant healing, at the end of the Reiki session we talk and share both of our experiences of the session. There is no pressure to say or experience anything profound but I find in most cases we will have very similar experiences. So this sharing is just a fun way to talk about energy, your energetic system, and tools to keep your energy open. I also offer an oracle card pulling for extra clarity, if you are interested. The oracle cards often confirm what we have spoken about and can paint a more clear picture of the energy we are picking up on. I find it to be a wonderful way to end the session!  

I'm thrilled to work with your energy if you are open to receiving the work. Giving is Receiving
