Did you know that Todd is a Reiki Master?

 
Many ancient cultures embraced the belief that life energy flows through the body, deeply affecting our entire being. Current research strongly suggests that energy does extend throughout and beyond the physical body, and that disruptions or imbalances in its flow correlate to physical, mental and emotional illness. The healing art of Reiki (pronounced "RAY-key") addresses these imbalances to support your good health and well-being.

Reiki can alleviate pain and stress, and promotes restful sleep, healing and relaxation. Relaxation in itself promotes a host of benefits for the mind and body including a heightened sense of well-being, release of muscle tension, and relief from anxiety and depression. In addition, relaxation has been shown to help restore immune function and improve circulation, enhancing healing throughout your body.
During your Reiki Session, the practitioner will gently place his/her hands on or slightly above you, from your head all the way down to your toes. In each hand position, your practitioner sends healing energy into your body. A session can be very relaxing and it's okay to fall asleep. You may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, or gentle waves moving through your body. You may have releases in the form of body twitches, muscle spasm, gas, or tears. You may not feel anything but a sense of relaxation. Sometimes the result of the session is not recognized until after the session, when your body has a chance to integrate the healing energy and the shift that has occurred.
