A few months ago some friends told me about a professional they saw for “reiki” and I expressed interest in going sometime too. I had never had reiki, and don’t feel too called to it, but it was the stories about the “and so much more” that drew me in. This person is very expensive (like… a lot) and her office is in Sausalito, the upscale town north of the Golden Gate Bridge, but I felt moved to inquire and make it happen. After waiting about 3 months for a spot I went today and it was incredible.

Leaving work I took an Uber for 30 minutes over the bridge to her office. I was greeted warmly at the door and felt at ease right away.  Asking me only a few short questions she jumped right into asking deeply intuitive follow-up questions, like a very good practiced therapist. In only two minutes of being there I was impressed by her skill level. For about 20 minutes we sat talking about why I had come. She would listen to me and then jump in with some wisdom and say “Write this down!” She made me take notes thru the whole session in a way I hadn’t done since college. She had me ask her one simple question, whatever I was moved to ask, and her response to the question that came to my mind moved me to cathartic crying. When that happened she invited me to lay down on the table.

While laying down she was very hands on. Most of the time her hands were on my feet or on my heart and most of the time I was on the table I was either laughing or crying. She continued asking simple questions like “What’s coming up now?” and after just a short answer she would guide me and have me repeat after her a series of statements particular to my case. It’s hard to express the amount of wisdom she has in her work. It seemed like understood me deeply in a comfortable, loving, noninvasive way.

Leaving I felt balanced in a way I haven’t in a while and I noticed my shoulders were naturally slouching in a way they usually don’t because they’re so tight. I definitely plan to visit again in a few months.

Googling her I found her describe her pratice: “I trigger and support conscious awareness, self-healing, healing and guidance. I help bring people to Wholeness.” I agree whole heartedly.
