This community Reiki practice was created out of the desire to make this powerful modality accessible to all. Reiki is a healing method from Japan that developed in the late 19th century. It works through placing of one’s palms in precise positions on and above a client’s specific body parts between the head and feet. During a session, the client is fully clothed and lying down on a massage table.
As an alternative holistic therapy, Reiki promotes restoration by tapping into the electromagnetic field of the body. By adjusting the body’s vibrational frequencies, Reiki treatments activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and reduce the sympathetic nervous system (fight and flight). This healing modality helps the body release physical and emotional constraints, improving health and wellness.
Additional Reiki Offerings w/ MINKA:
Virtual Community Reiki - Biweekly

What Is Sliding Scale?
We provide all of our community offerings and some private sessions by sliding scale. We believe everyone is entitled to heal their wounds so they can thrive; we also believe that wellness and healing practitioners deserve to make a living wage. In order to make this possible, we ask you to pay as much as you can, so those who might not be able to pay as much can still receive their healing session - this is the idea behind 'paying it forward'. We are all in this together, and we choose to do our best to take care of one another.
Thank you in advance!
