About Carrie Gaiser Casey
Carrie is a Reiki Master, dancer, researcher, and somatic energy healer. She created Dance into Wholeness to empower people seeking greater compassion, creativity, and connection in their lives. Her passion is working collaboratively with clients to uncover their own deep wisdom and the peace of mind that comes with inner knowing. She believes in a customized approach to each client and that all of us are already in a state of wholeness - we just need to find our way back to it!
Carrie’s life in dance strongly informs her work. She is a former professional dancer and holds a PhD in Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies from University of California, Berkeley. It was through dance that she first became interested in energy healing. The ability to “read” energy in the body that Carrie developed as a dancer and researcher of dance is invaluable in her work as a Reiki practitioner and somatic Reiki guide.
Dance was also a spiritual path for Carrie. Through dance, she experienced states of spiritual connection that provided her with insight and strength at crucial moments in her life. She is drawn to the spiritual aspects of Reiki, dance, and shamanic journeying, and their immense healing potential, and aspires to make these forms accessible to people, regardless of their personal belief systems.

I did not know that much about Reiki when I experienced my first session with Carrie. She provided me information prior to beginning our session, and she sat with me for an extended length of time following each session to work through the emotions that came bubbling up for me. There was immense calm during the sessions themselves, and Carrie provided soothing music to coincide with the energy healing work. I felt comfortable the whole time. She helped me identify specific energy blocks that she felt within me, which really helped me on my introspective journey. It was an incredible experience that left me feeling more connected to myself and calm, while simultaneously feeling energized with possibilities for my future. I highly recommend Carrie.
