Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki is a very specific form of energy healing, in which hands are placed just off the body or lightly touching the body, as in “laying on of hands.”

In a Reiki session, the practitioner is seeking to transmit Universal Life Energy to the client. The intention is to create deep relaxation, balance the chakras, and reduce pain and stress.

Reiki is a form of complementary health care practice, which enhances the body's ability to heal itself.

We don't charge for healing. Fees go directly to covering rent, supplies, and further education for the Reiki practitioner. 

However, if cost is what's keeping you from the benefits of Reiki, please reach out to us directly and I’ll see where we can fit you in. I’m also open to barter and trade, so please don’t be shy. Let’s help each other in this oft-times individualistic society. 

We accept Zelle/Venmo or cash at the session. 

You'll get a confirmation email from the website, but there is a $50 deposit that you'll need to send via Venmo or Zelle to @silverlakereiki or through my phone number: 323-774-8925 to cement your booking. This also serves as a non-refundable deposit in case of no shows.
