What is Reiki?
Reiki translates to Spiritually Guided Universal Life Force Energy. The practitioner acts as a conduit, transferring this energy to you and helping to release blockages of your own energy (Chi/Qi), thus restoring your body's innate ability to heal physically and emotionally.
I am certified in the traditional Usui Method. This involves a gentle laying-on of hands, over your clothing (avoiding personal/sensitive areas).

Acknowledgements
As an American-born white woman, I acknowledge that this practice is not from my culture. The Reiki I was taught comes from Japan, and originated with Mikao Usui. It was then passed down to Dr. Hayashi and disseminated to the U.S. by his student, Madame Takata. It was a belief of Usui's that Reiki could heal the world, and he desired for it to be as widely available as possible. It is a privilege and honour to be able to practice this sacred healing method, and I do so with deep reverence and gratitude.
I also acknowledge that the land I practice on rightly belongs to the indigenous peoples of Multnomah, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, as well as other tribes and bands. I honor this land and its original inhabitants from time immemorial.
Furthermore, I acknowledge many neighborhoods in Portland were formerly thriving Black communities from the early 1900s until the 1960s, destroyed by institutionally sanctioned racism.
I seek to give back in any way I can to indigenous communities, and people of color. I humbly offer a 25% discount to BIPOC with code HEAL for all of my services.
If you are a part of a volunteer mission or community organization for BIPOC folks, and you would be interested in having Reiki sessions donated, please email me at nevada@altaredenergy.com.
