Reiki Healing
Release Stress. Reclaim Your Energy.
Feeling overwhelmed, drained, or out of sync? A Reiki session offers a powerful yet gentle path back to a state of balance. By channeling universal life force energy, this practice helps clear energetic blockages, reduce anxiety, and promote your body's natural healing abilities. It's time to feel centered, calm, and renewed!
Reiki Sessions at Dance into Wholeness
Reiki sessions at Dance into Wholeness are held both on Zoom and in our light-filled studio in Woodside, California. We begin with a conversation to get to know you and your needs better. You are then invited to find a comfortable position, typically lying down, and are guided into a relaxed meditative state before the Reiki begins.
Our Reiki table is comfortable, soft, and clean, and for in-person sessions, we provide a lavender-filled eye mask with a washable silk cover so that you may relax even more deeply. All sessions are conducted fully clothed, and the Reiki may be channeled through non-invasive touch or without physical contact. Music is chosen based on the healing frequency you need, and crystals, aromatherapy, and oracle cards may be used in the session to support you. Where appropriate, we might include a shamanic journey. Afterwards, we share our insights and the intuitive guidance that emerged in session. You leave feeling renewed and deeply held by the loving Reiki energy!
Recommended Number of Reiki Sessions
The number of sessions needed depends on your individual goals and the issues you're addressing. For chronic conditions or deep-seated stress, a series of regular sessions is often recommended to build momentum and achieve lasting results. For general relaxation and maintenance, one-off Reiki sessions can be very beneficial.
Distance Reiki
At Dance into Wholeness we also offer Reiki sessions at a distance. Distance Reiki is a profound healing modality and every bit as effective as in-person Reiki. According to quantum theories of healing, energy is not subject to barriers of time and place. With distance Reiki sessions we follow up with a phone call or written summary of what transpired in the session. Curious about how distance Reiki works?

What is Reiki?
The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words put together. Rei means “spirit” and ki means “life-force energy.” To direct Reiki to someone is to channel universal life force energy for their healing and highest good. The frequency of Reiki energy is very pure, loving, and kind. It is gentle yet powerful.
Some recipients of Reiki feel heat, tingling, or flowing sensations, while others feel nothing at all. This is all completely normal, and the Reiki is “working” regardless of whether it is felt or not. Sometimes people fall asleep, which is also normal and does not affect the efficacy of the session. Reiki can be extremely relaxing, because the body goes into a “rest and digest” state with the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system. This counteracts the effects of an overstimulated sympathetic nervous system, or the “fight, flight, or freeze” responses we can get stuck in from chronic stress, anxiety, or unresolved trauma.
Does Reiki Actually Work?
Yes! Reiki has long been used in health care settings to support patients in healing. A growing number of studies have demonstrated Reiki’s effectiveness in easing pain and anxiety. See the PubMed article, Effect of Reiki Therapy on Pain and Anxiety in Adults: An In-Depth Literature Review of Randomized Trials with Effect Size Calculations.
Reiki has been proven more effective than a placebo in reducing anxiety and depression and improving self-esteem and quality of life. See Reiki Is Better Than Placebo and Has Broad Potential as a Complementary Health Therapy.

My session with Carrie was incredible. Her calm presence, her deep knowing, and her connection with spirit made the reiki healing more impactful than I ever imagined. We both felt energy racing through my body, expanding, and in certain spots needing to release. Messages came through about love and support that I needed to hear. I'm so grateful for the healing, channeling and for the integration after the session to connect everything that came through. Carrie is a gift.
