Reiki means “Universal Life Force.” Reiki is an energy modality that promotes deep relaxation, well-being, personal growth, and spiritual growth. Reiki gently promotes clarity and focus in daily life, and helps to restore balance for enhanced wellness. Many who receive and give Reiki say they feel a deeper peace within themselves.
About Reiki Certification Training Classes
Reiki I Certification Class
I begin Reiki First Degree Certification class with a brief meditation to help you relax and become fully present.

Reiki Treatment Sessions: What to Expect
Reiki Sessions can be given either with a light touch, with hands in prescribed positions or above the body, or remotely using distance Reiki. It’s a good idea to wear comfortable clothing. You may feel warmth or tingling or just feel very relaxed while receiving Reiki. Everyone’s experience is a little different. You may not feel anything in particular. Don’t worry. The Reiki is still working. You may feel something a day or two after your session like a wonderful boost of energy. Sometimes it takes more than one session to effectively address your goal.
Each session is tailored to your specific needs.
To Request a Reiki Treatment Session:
Phone (703) 830-8515 or Contact Reiki Sanctuary of Northern Virginia.
Distance Reiki Treatment Sessions
Distance Reiki works just as well, if not better, than in-person Reiki treatment sessions. We can send Reiki to an upsetting or traumatic event in the past and start healing how we feel about that event, or to an event in the future to create an uplifting feeling about that event.
Animals are naturally intuitive, and most respond well to distance Reiki treatment sessions. For a Distance Reiki session for you, or for your beloved cat or dog, just contact us.

Reiki for My Cat

My former cat, Wani, benefited greatly from Reiki. Wani suffered from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) which often resulted in not eating and constipation. During the day, I’d give Wani hands-on Reiki; and it would help him make successful trips to the litter box once again. When Wani needed to stay overnight at the clinic, I gave him distance Reiki; and many times, Wani was ready to come home earlier than anticipated. In working with cats and dogs, I’ve been amazed at how distance Reiki can be just as effective as hands-on Reiki, yielding wonderful results!
