Reiki is a gentle soothing “touch therapy” which promotes deep relaxation. It is centuries old in Japan, and came to the US by way of Hawaii in the 1930’s, though didn’t begin to be widely known until the 1970’s.  Reiki has been shown to reduce stress in the body, which allows the normal self-healing and self-regulating functions that are innate in every one of us to take over. It is used in many hospitals around the country as a tool to aid relaxation and recovery before and after procedures, and is well known and utilized in Boston at Dana Farber, Childrens Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess, and MA General Brigham. Studies are being done at BI, and MGB has the largest Reiki Volunteer program in the country. Reiki can be done anywhere, and compliments any other medical treatment.

During a full session with Ruthie, the client lies comfortably on a (massage) table, fully clothed, with pillows and blankets and low lights. Relaxing music and candles enhance the relaxation experience. Ruthie utilizes a light, soothing touch and many years of experience working with clients to customize the session according to each client’s needs. Chronic pain and long-standing health concerns may take a few or several sessions to improve, but acute issues are often resolved quickly and the Reiki session always promotes relaxation and a feeling of being at ease. Stress in the body interferes with our body’s innate healing mechanisms, so deep relaxation enhances healing by removing the stress that gets in the way!

Whatever issues are going on in your life, Ruthie is masterful at being a compassionate, caring and intuitive healer, and she listens deeply and empathetically. Emotional and physical blocks can be released through discussing them, and then completely relaxing during your Reiki session.

Reiki is not meant to replace medical care, and a Reiki practitioner never diagnoses medical or psychiatric conditions. Reiki can, along with traditional medicine, deeply enhance healing and well-being. Reiki is appropriate for chronic as well as acute conditions, anxiety, stress relief, and just overall preventive care and wellness. Studies being done in recent years prove the benefits of Reiki.
