Welcome to Joyful Vibes Energy Work

The word Reiki means 'Universal Life Force Energy'. It is the non-physical energy that animates all living things. It originated in Japan as an energy healing technique for transmitting ‘Universal Life Force Energy’ through a Reiki practitioner's hands into the recipient's energy system. Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion and is not dependent on belief and will work whether you believe in it or not. Reiki treats the whole person including the body, emotions, mind and spirit. It will work in conjunction with all other medical and therapeutic techniques. Numerous documented studies have shown that Reiki may help to relax you, reduce pain and anxiety, relieve depression and enhance your overall well-being. Simply put, you are an energetic being! Life simply happens! How it happens to you, is simply how you allow it to affect you! Relax into a state of joy! When you are in joy your body and state of being are in a healthy place. A place of good health, longevity, self-awareness as well as being universally connected.                                                                                60 minutes

The first sound everyone hears before any other sound is our mother’s heartbeat! Hearing our mother’s heartbeat not only created a peaceful environment, but also imprinted a sound onto our brain and within our body. Our bodies are wired for rhythm, but it’s not what the power of that rhythm can do, it’s what it undoes. Sound therapy has been scientifically proven to be a viable therapy for both mind and body. Numerous independent studies have found that drumming specifically reduces blood pressure, anxiety/stress; reduces pain; increases brain white matter and executive cognitive function; increases immunity; assists in spiritual and transcendent experiences. Native American healing drums have a profound effect on the mind, body and spirit. The repetitive beats create a trance-like state that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and induces a deep natural meditative state.                               40 minutes

Years ago at a Hawaiian retreat the definition of LIFE came to me…Living In Full Experience! Sometimes there just is no explanation of why from a young age you think and feel differently about the life and world you are a participant in. You are motivated to seek out answers to questions from the past and future that others simply pay no mind to. A brief background about me:

• Initiated in the First Degree of the Usui System of National Healing in 1997. 
• Completed Second and Third Degree receiving the necessary attunement and knowledge to practice and teach as an independent Reiki Master in 2004
• Participated in several clinical studies of the therapeutic healing attributes of Reiki at the Cleveland Clinic
• Volunteered at Stewart's Caring Place in Akron (a place dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for those living with cancer)
• A non-denominational minister since 2007 (I perform weddings)

My fifty plus year spiritual path also includes training in alternative healing modalities (meditation, breath, sound, chakra toning and balancing, numerous classes/certificates, Native American and esoteric practices). Remember, a healer is not someone you go to for healing. A healer is a person who awakens your own consciousness in you to create a new body!
