​Reiki & Sound Healing

“The power of Reiki lies in the intention of love  and healing.” – Mikao Usui 

What is Reiki?

Usui Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that channels universal life force energy into the body to restore balance and harmony.

Energy flows through light touch (or hands hovering above the body), focusing on the chakras. Reiki is not about “fixing” but about awakening the body’s innate healing capacity—encouraging self-reflection, emotional release, and spiritual growth.

What is Sound Healing?

Sound Healing works with vibration, frequency, and resonance to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony. Instruments such as 432hz crystal bowls, tuning forks, drums, chimes, rattles, and voice toning are used to gently guide your energy back into balance.
 

Sound helps the body shift into deeper brainwave states (alpha and theta), linked with meditation, creativity, and renewal. When blended with Reiki, sound becomes a mirror for your energy, amplifying healing and opening space for presence and release.

Lineage

Usui Reiki was brought into wider awareness by Mikao Usui, a Japanese spiritual teacher. Born on August 15, 1865, in the Yamagata region, Japan, his family was of Buddhist traditions and lived there for 11 generations. Mikao Usui was sent to a Buddhist monastery to start his education from a very young age (around 4 years old).

There he took quite a lot of interest in
psychology, medicine, and various religions from around the world.

In the early 20th century, it is said that he received the wisdom of Reiki during a meditative retreat on Mount Kurama. He was guided to Mount Kurama to ”Satori” – which translates as “enlightenment”.

Usui was aware that such a quest is not going to be easy, so he began a long ritual where he fasted, meditated and prayed. After a long and tiring 21 days, he fell into a deep meditative state. It was then when he received a strong beam of bright, white light, shining directly on his head. He also had a vision of the Reiki symbols and how to channel the light through them.

 

Usui's teachings laid the foundation for the Reiki system we know today, making this ancient healing art accessible to people around the world. Rooted in simplicity, intention and presence, Usui Reiki continues to be a powerful tool for self-healing, emotional release and spiritual alignment. ​

My Journey with Reiki & Sound

Through connecting with breath and sound, I became deeply captivated by the subtle energetics moving throughout my body—waves of sensation, emotion, and presence that drew me deeper and deeper.

With a foundational awareness of the Chakra System, curiosity stirred within me to explore these energies more fully. That curiosity led me to Reiki, a practice that not only deepened my own self-understanding, but also offered a way to hold space for others.

I answered the call and completed my Reiki Masters training with Erin Lee of HeavenLee Messenger. Today, it’s an honour to weave Reiki with sound healing, offering a gentle yet powerful pathway to healing, release, and reconnection in a supportive, heart-centered space.

"Thank you Jessica for the One Hour Reiki Chakra Balancing & Crystal Bowl Session. I was able to sink deep into my breath and connect with myself, releasing any negative energy and tension. I appreciated the time and care you took with me for this new experience and allowing me to feel at ease."
