Reiki
Emily Opal Smith
Emily is a curious, passionate and dedicated healer. She brings experience from all her life journeys to her practice as a multi-disciplinary practitioner.
She is equally fascinated by physical anatomy and the spirit, the science of functional breathing and intuitive soul guidance. She deeply believes in the balance of solar and lunar, action and rest and the power of stillness to tune into the wisdom of the body and heart.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that became prominent in the early 1900’s.
The word itself translates to:
Rei=Universal
Ki=Energy
This practice adresses the energy systems of the body and works to shift and transform stuck-ness or congested energy in the physical and emotional body.
It is an energy of unconditional love and radical acceptance. It will support you exactly as you are.
Whether you are looking for a simple opportunity to get quiet, slow down and receive, or engage in your own multi-faceted healing journey, this modality works for and with you in whatever way you are ready.
Her promises to you
I will welcome you in complete support and non-judgement
Come as you are, we will work together within your authentic experience, from the truth of your emotional/physical/mental/spiritual landscape.
I will 100% respect your boundaries. I acknowledge that through these life journeys we have all collected different experiences, and they are stored and expressed in very individual ways.
My only agenda is to approach our work from a place of unconditional love and radical acceptance.

Alan Weeks
Al found Reiki after a spiritual awakening from mental health challenges. He uses his intuition (something he didn't know he had) to channel divine love for healing purposes. This propelled him into learning more about himself and becoming a Reiki Practitioner. He is a kind, loving person who knows and gets along with people from all walks of life.

Drawing upon her experience from studying yoga, honing her intuitive skills, and studies of quantum physics and neurobiology, she facilitates a process of relaxation and stress reduction, which can positively impact the body's natural healing mechanisms. Reiki provides an opportunity to channel and cultivate a connection to consciousness, and will leave you feeling recharged and supported.
