Artistic practice

& contemplative practice

are just two ways of working with the energy of Life.

Both artists and seekers have been talking about being a vessel, accessing flow states, and channeling a higher consciousness for centuries.

And working with the energy of Life, accessing our higher consciousness, is exactly what the world needs of us now.

Whether you’re an artist or simply a human being looking for more confidence, ease, or stability in an uncertain world, my work can help you reconnect to the deepest part of You, so you can share it with the world.

what you always wanted to know about Reiki but were afraid to ask

Quantum physics has shown the effects of particle entanglement, in which two related particles are influenced by each other no matter how far apart they are. All life is interrelated, “entangled,” and we can affect each other across time and space.
No. Reiki is a biofield therapy channeling the life force energy that exists in all things. Science often knows that something works before it knows how it works: but studies are beginning to show that Reiki is effective for managing mental health, pain and stress.

Reiki is a biofield therapy and spiritual healing art channeling the life force energy that exists in all things. It has its roots in Japan — fusing the Japanese words Rei (universal life) and Ki (energy). It is not affiliated with any religion, requires no belief, and is non-invasive. Reiki aids recipients in clearing energetic blockages so their own innate healing power can flow freely. Some call it unconditional love. It can do no harm.
Studies have shown that Reiki can promote stress relief, release tension and increase the body’s ability to relax, all of which promote healing at the physical, mental and emotional levels. While it is powerful and works well in tandem with traditional healing methods, it is not a cure for disease or a substitute for medical advice or attention.We deliver advisory and implementation services in strategy, operations, marketing, and technology.
Experiences of Reiki differ from person to person. Some people feel a tingling sensation, others feel heat, others fall asleep and still others feel nothing at all but simple relaxation. It is important to know that whatever you are feeling during a session, the energy is flowing and working, and will continue to work on your body after the session is over.
Come dressed in comfortable clothing that is not restrictive. We’ll discuss what brought you in, and any areas or issues you wish to focus on. You’ll remove your shoes and make yourself comfortable on the table (or, if remote, in your own space). Both practitioner and client remain fully clothed. You can choose to receive Reiki hands-on or off; the energy will flow either way. Hands-on Reiki is simply a safe, gentle touch on various non-invasive areas of the body, which in itself can be soothing in our touch-starved society. And then, you’ll close your eyes and simply relax and receive.
Reiki empowers the receiver, acknowledging that you have the power to heal. It is the intelligence of the client’s own body that receives the in-flow of energy, offering healing on all levels of being.
Sessions last for one hour. It is best not to eat heavily beforehand, and to be sure to drink extra water in the few days following.Engagements range from two weeks for focused audits to several months for comprehensive transformation.

what clients have experienced

“After surgery, I wanted to stay off narcotics. We had arranged for Katie to send me Reiki in recovery - but I didn’t know when. My pain had been at a 9. Gradually, I started to breathe slower, more deeply. The pain lessened and became much less intrusive. The next time the nurses asked, I rated the pain a 6. Soon I overheard them in the hallway, wondering how it could have gone down so much with no apparent intervention. My wife came back into the room and told me that the Reiki was responsible.”

“‘Something,’ whether it was your strength coming through or the fact that I actually relaxed, created a healing aura. My foot was tingling... and I am a skeptic. My doctor was impressed by my progress! Thank you!”

“When my dad was approaching the end of his life, Katie gave him Reiki on multiple occasions, both in-person and remotely. A lifelong insomniac, Dad experienced a lot of restlessness on hospice. Receiving Reiki always sent him right to sleep and allowed him to rest. This in turn gave our family the space and peace that we needed, knowing that he was cared for during his transition beyond the reach of traditional medicine.”
