Stress hormones are created by the body by being in the "fight or flight" response state. When we are depleted, we move more quickly towards a stressed state, even over minor daily annoyances. Reiki supports our physical body by engaging the parasympathetic nervous system. Our physical body drops into a deep relaxed state and automatically begins repairing itself. Our immune system strengthens, blood pressure drops, digestion improves and our brain waves regulate.

Reiki effectively bridges the mind-body connection. During a Reiki session, the brainwaves of the recipient regulate into an Alpha state, which is associated with deep meditation. These synchronized brainwaves travel along the perineurial pathways, communicating to the body to move into a relaxed state. The long term benefits of a regular mediative practice can include increased emotional stability and enhanced compassion.

The emotional healing aspect of Reiki is enormous. Clients have reported anger and frustration clearing, increased peacefulness and feelings of elation. A session can facilitate in opening your heart center and in releasing feelings that are no longer serving you. Great personal insight can be gained and positive solutions formulated for any personal challenges you may be experiencing. Reiki can be used as a complementary healing technique for those who have suffered traumas or struggle with depression and anxiety.
What is Reiki?
Reiki (prounced Ray- key) is a Janpanese healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation which promotes the body's natural healing ability. It is a complementary healing practice that is adminstered through light touch. Reiki literally translated means: (Rei) "Spirtually guided" (Ki) "universal life energy".
I know...I know.... it sounds really woo- woo. I will be the first to admit that. And truthfully, until you experience Reiki- it is very difficult to fully explain.
But, here are what real clients say about working with Reiki:
- "Reiki with Chris has helped with my anxiety. My level of depression after the sessions is less then any other kind of treatment. I would recommend (Reiki) to anyone. I feel Reiki is the answer I have looked for in my recovery." - RN
- "Chris embodies a beautiful balance of professionalism, skill, kindness, intuition and ability to meet each client where they are when working with Reiki. This combination allows for deeply healing and transformative experiences in sessions. As a psychotherapist in the community, I have also referred several clients to her to compliment the therapeutic process and it has been highly effective. I am grateful to have her in our community." - MO
- My session was intense and much appreciated. Thank you so much. It’s given me a great deal to think about and process. I had a glimpse of my old mindfulness today." - SC
- "When I left yesterday I really did feel lighter. Something huge happened on that table as I still feel amazing and stronger than I have in a very long time…” BR
- "You made me feel so comfortable and your honesty was refreshing. It made me feel capable of opening up and being honest with you and myself.”- DB
- "Chris Rinaldi changed my life. I know that's a dramatic thing to say, but it's the truth. One session with Chris around a specific issue did more for me than a year of therapy would have, and I'm a therapist who believes deeply in the efficacy of therapy. She was able to see and then say outloud something I didn't realize I wanted so badly. As soon as she put words to it, I knew it was time to take action. I've been working with her monthly since then to help maintain balance and as a part of my own self-care. I can't recommend Chris enough." - AP
What to expect during a session:
To start we will spend some time discussing any wellness concerns you may have and any areas you would specifically like to focus on. My main goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and safe. Reiki can be administered with or without physical touch. For the Reiki treatment, you will lay on a massage table, fully clothed, with a warm blanket and eye pillow available. Throughout the treatment, you may feel a light touch on various parts of your body, warmth, tingling, pressure, or visualizations. All of these are normal, as are a variety of other sensations.Receiving Reiki is deeply relaxing and you might just fall asleep! After the session, we will have time to discuss any observations or sensations you may want to process.
