Reiki is an Energy Medicine Therapy that works directly on the parasympathetic nervous system to quiet the sympathetic overdrive in the body. The ancient Japanese therapy allows the nervous system to come back to homeostasis to balance the body’s systems and allow it to self-heal, as we are designed to do. This is healing from the inside out.
I knew from a young age that I wanted to work with people in some way. I studied Elementary Education and Psychology in school and stepped into the role of teacher after graduation. I then became ill with a “mysterious illness” which was later labeled Fibromyalgia. While I was navigating the pain and many other debilitating symptoms, Reiki found me in 2009. Reiki was the puzzle piece I needed to launch my healing. I was so overwhelmed by the amazing, beautiful healing that was happening to me, that I knew I had to study Reiki to help others heal. In 2010, I began my studies and in 2011, I became a Reiki Master Teacher (RMT). In 2021, I became a Certified Medical Reiki Master (CMRM).
I am a true believer that people cross paths for a reason. Our personal connection is very important to our work together, as I see each session as sacred. During the Reiki sessions, I receive messages from your body that bring awareness to your barriers that could be holding you back and getting in the way of your healing. These channeled messages bring intuition for action items for you to continue your healing after the session is done. While healing is your responsibility, I will be with you for support and guidance. True, deep healing is a lot of work and is not easy. If you are ready, I am ready.

“I first chose Reiki to help with recovery from surgery. I knew I needed pain relief and an emotional re-set. I hoped this gentle modality would boost my heavy spirit too. Meeting Melissa and experiencing her Reiki practice turned out to be one of the most important elements of my recovery! In 3 sessions we cleared away much of the trauma from the difficult experience, I felt energized, and had new clarity on how to face the healing journey ahead.”
Melissa is a compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional healer. She patiently listens as I describe my symptoms before each Reiki session. After each session, I always feel as though a tremendous weight has been lifted; physically, I feel lighter, calmer, and can think more clearly. Thank you, Melissa, for sharing your rare healing gift with all of us!!
Reiki is one of the few ways in which I can reconnect. Busy living fragments me, and Reiki puts that all back together. I have found it touches on all aspects of my being including spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Sometimes it is a break from daily life, others it thoroughly alters my perspective and outlook. Sometimes I am just relaxed, other times I feel tingling and warmth in my body; often I see colors behind my eyes. Every time I have reiki I sleep better and I feel better overall. I feel lighter and more grounded, simultaneously. Melissa is an incredibly gentle and empathetic guide, often more in-tune with what is going on with me than my conscious allows me to know. She genuinely has a gift and is gracing us all with her time, heart and knowledge.
I have been seeing Melissa pretty much on a weekly basis the last 3.5 years. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy my weekly Reiki sessions with Melissa. Besides being the sweetest person, she does amazing work and also has a lot of insight. I leave feeling peaceful and energized. It helps keep my immune system high and any illness at bay! Thank you Melissa for your healing hands that touch the Soul!
I scheduled my first reiki session out of desperation to help alleviate extreme tension headaches which had plagued me for nine years, and had intensified to such a degree that I was taking 1500 mg of Advil daily to cope. My first reiki session felt like a wave of understanding of what I was experiencing, as well as an invitation to let go of so many of the things that had caused a tightening in my entire system. Within two sessions my headaches were at bay. Within four sessions my headaches were rare. Reiki has opened a door to my own inner knowing, my own self awareness, and has created a channel for me to live fully. I have now been seeing Melissa for 10 months and my life will never be the same, in the most extraordinary and wonderful way. I will forever be grateful to Melissa's rare and powerful gifts and for her introducing me to the healing of reiki.
