Reiki
An Ever-Present Energy in Every Session on Whidbey Island
While I do not list Reiki as a separate service at Whidbey Massage Therapy, it is woven into every session I offer—a quiet undercurrent of healing energy that supports the body’s innate ability to restore, relax, and renew. Whether you’re receiving Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, or Sound Healing, you are simultaneously receiving Reiki through my hands, heart, and focused intention.
Located in Freeland, on beautiful Whidbey Island, my practice attracts clients from Langley, Clinton, and Greenbank who are not only seeking relief from physical discomfort, but also craving a deeper level of healing—one that encompasses body, mind, and spirit. Reiki offers exactly that.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that translates as “universal life energy.” It involves the channeling of energy through the practitioner’s hands to the client’s body in order to promote relaxation, balance, and self-healing. Unlike massage, Reiki does not involve manipulation of muscle or fascia—it works with subtle energy fields and the nervous system to help recalibrate your state of being.
Even when I am using physically therapeutic modalities like Active Isolated Stretching or Acupressure, Reiki is always flowing. It is not something I "turn on"—it is something I embody. It moves through intention, breath, and presence.
How Reiki Feels in My Sessions
Because I do not offer Reiki as a standalone service, many of my clients in Freeland, Langley, and surrounding Whidbey Island communities describe discovering it organically during their bodywork. It may feel like:
- A soothing warmth from my hands even when I’m not applying physical pressure
- A deep stillness or calming sensation that envelops the whole body
- Emotional release, peaceful tears, or unexpected clarity
- Tingling, flowing, or pulsing sensations that feel beyond physical touch
Sometimes Reiki arrives as a sense of being profoundly witnessed and supported. It holds space for whatever you’re ready to let go of—physical tension, mental stress, energetic blocks, or emotional heaviness.
Reiki as a Supportive Layer, Not a Separate Session
You don’t need to request Reiki separately—it’s always part of my work. Clients from Clinton and Greenbank often tell me they “feel something different” in my sessions, even when the technique is structural or muscular. That “something” is Reiki: subtle, ever-present, and gently transformative.
Because my healing background includes both clinical and intuitive approaches, I’m able to layer Reiki seamlessly into any treatment—whether you’re here for injury rehab, pain management, or deep energetic renewal.
I’m not offering Reiki instead of bodywork—I'm offering it alongside bodywork, quietly enhancing the results.
Supporting the Nervous System
Reiki excels at calming the autonomic nervous system—that fight-or-flight mechanism so many of us live in daily. By inviting the body into parasympathetic rest, Reiki supports:
- Faster recovery
- Better sleep
- Improved digestion
- Emotional resilience
- A grounded sense of peace
When the body feels safe, healing unfolds. Reiki helps create that safety on an energetic level, allowing the rest of the work to go deeper.
A Quiet Power in Every Modality
Whether you’re booking a deep tissue session, a tuning fork sound healing, or focused neuromuscular therapy, know that Reiki is present—not as a technique I apply, but as a way of being I bring into the room.
This subtle healing presence is one of the reasons why clients across Whidbey Island—from Langley to Clinton—continue to return. They don’t just feel better—they feel more whole, more present, and more themselves.
