Pat Spellman

Reiki Ryōhō Practitioner

Reiki Ryoho* is the healing art of using Reiki, an energy described as universal and unlimited. The client receives energy through the light touch of a practitioner who has been attuned to Reiki. Reiki treatments can also be given slightly above the body. A typical session lasts for 1 hour and may consist of 12 or more hand positions held for about 3 to 5 minutes each. Reiki touch creates a state of relaxation in which body systems can normalize and thinking and intuition become clearer. Each person receives what is needed from Reiki, and each session may elicit a different response.

Reiki touch can be especially important in times of stress, whether from work, health crises, or life changes. Reiki can be useful before and after surgery and during chemotherapy. It can be used as a general tune-up to promote health and peacefulness.
In addition to traditional Reiki, a session may include Reiki targeted at specific energy points including foot reflexology points.

Cost:
1/2 hour session: $50
1 hour session: $65
Package of 3 follow-up sessions: $180
1 hour split Reflex-Reiki Session: $95
