Focused Healing - 30 Minutes  
Begin with a consultation to allow the practitioner to know where you would like your energy work focused. We will then get to work relaxing the mind and body with light aromatherapy placement and 4-6 healing hand placements. This quick rejuvenation session will last long after it has ended, leaving you focus and healing.

Raise Your Vibration - 60 Minutes  
A short consultation will help determine the proper aura spray and crystals to be incorporated in your session. These additions to your energy work help to raise the overall energy vibration of the session for a deeper state of relaxation.

Chakra Clearing - 60 Minutes  
The focus of this healing session is to clear the 7 major Chakra points of the body and aura to gain inner wisdom and insight regarding emotions, senses, and healing needs.

Group Reiki Session - 90 Minutes  
For groups up to 4, our practitioner will create a Reiki circle ritual specifically to help clear auras and negativity. Intuitive healing will be given to each participant along with a brief discussion on Reiki properties and uses.

Guided Chakra Meditation - 30 Minutes  
Let our practitioner gently guide you through meditation to help heighten your chakra awareness and allow clearing to begin. There will be a consultation call at least 3 days prior to your appointment to briefly discuss your needs so a personalized meditation can be created for your needs.

Guided Chakra Meditation - 60 Minutes 
After a brief consultation to understand your needs, our facilitator will impart Chakra knowledge while guiding you through the clearing of your energies, giving you daily mantras you can use to help keep your Chakras cleared. There will be a consultation call at least 3 days prior to your appointment to briefly discuss your needs so a personalized meditation can be created for your needs.

I have felt called to this and other healing work since I was a young child. If you asked the Director of Nursing I worked under, in High School CNA, she would have sworn I would one day become a Nurse. I had the heart and the gift of helping others. I learned a lot in those years, preserving the quality of life for those close to death or in  need of constant care. But, I didn't become a nurse.

I wanted to become a massage therapist. I was drawn to the hands-on, human contact of healing. However, in the late 90s, massage therapy was still a skeptical trade to my accountant mother. She urged me to gain a four year degree and so I did. 

In the years between then and now, I have not lost my love and attraction to healing arts. I have studied the use of crystals, aromatherapy, and yoga. I have taken classes to learn more about the chakras, Ayurvedic principles, and meditation, and eventually became certified as a Mindfulness facilitator, Life Coach, and Holy Fire III Reiki II practitioner.

I am drawn to helping others live their most authentic lives by helping them relax and heal from past trauma and everyday stressors.

Love & Light,
​Charmaine

I am a Certified Holy Fire III Reiki II practitioner working toward the Master level. I offer guided mindfulness meditation along with energy work for those who are interested. These sessions last anywhere from 30-90 minutes and can be done in a distance session if needed.

I received in-person training from Micara Link and hold my certifications with the International Center of Reiki Training.

Reiki is a safe, gentle, natural, and simple hands-on healing technique that uses spiritual energy to reduce stress, increase relaxation, and promote healing. It is holistic in nature, balancing and healing the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Reiki can also be used to encourage personal and spiritual awareness, development, and growth.

The word Reiki (pronounced Ray Kee) is often translated as “universal life force energy” or “spiritual energy”. Reiki is made of two Japanese words Rei and Ki. Rei translates to “sacred”, “soul”, or “spirit”. It means the Higher Intelligence that guides the creation and functioning of the Universe; the wisdom that comes from God that is all-knowing, which understands the cause of all problems and difficulties and knows how to heal them.

Ki translates to "life force energy". Life force energy is present in every living thing.

A treatment takes about an hour and is usually carried out with the recipient lying comfortably on a massage table, covered with a soft blanket. There is no pressure, manipulation or massage. A treatment usually feels very relaxing, warm and peaceful as the energy flows through them. It is not uncommon to feel emotional as the Reiki brings to the surface old issues and patterns to be released. Some people feel highly energized after a treatment, while others feel sleepy.

Reiki is effective in helping a wide-variety of physical, mental, and emotional conditions. It also works well in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from God, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.

HOW DOES REIKI HEAL? 
We are alive because life force is flowing through us. Life force flows within the physical body though pathways called chakras, meridians and nadis. It also flows around us in a field of energy called the aura. Life force nourishes the organs and cells of the body, supporting them in their vital functions. When this flow of life force is disrupted, it causes diminished function in one or more of the organs and tissues of the physical body.

The life force is responsive to thoughts and feelings. It becomes disrupted when we accept, either consciously or unconsciously, negative thoughts or feelings about ourselves. These negative thoughts and feelings attach themselves to the energy field and cause a disruption in the flow of life force. This diminishes the vital function of the organs and cells of the physical body.

Reiki heals by flowing through the affected parts of the energy field and charging them with positive energy. It raises the vibratory level of the energy field in and around the physical body where the negative thoughts and feelings are attached. This causes the negative energy to break apart and fall away. In so doing, Reiki clears, straightens and heals the energy pathways, thus allowing the life force to flow in a healthy and natural way. 

REIKI CAN NEVER CAUSE HARM
Because Reiki is guided by the God-consciousness, it can never do harm. It always knows what a person needs and will adjust itself to create the effect that is appropriate for them. One never needs to worry about whether to give Reiki or not; it is always helpful. [source: www.reiki.org]
