Trauma-Informed Reiki in Virginia

I honor each person's story their body remembers. As a trauma-informed Reiki practitioner, I create an environment that recognizes each individual's need for safety, choice, and comfort. Every session begins with clear communication, ensuring clients understand they have complete control over their experience.

The foundation of trauma-informed Reiki acknowledges how our bodies respond differently to various experiences. What feels soothing to some might feel overwhelming to others. Each person's comfort level with closeness and touch varies, which makes Reiki's flexibility particularly valuable in trauma-informed care.

One of trauma-informed Reiki's unique benefits is that it can be offered without physical contact. I can work several feet away from the client's body as a practitioner. This makes Reiki particularly accessible, as clients remain fully clothed and can choose the most comfortable distance.

In my trauma-informed practice, clients guide the process. Some prefer that I start at a greater distance, working near their feet. Others might request that I announce my movements before changing positions. Each session adapts to what the client needs at that moment.

Through this trauma-informed approach, Reiki can support various aspects of wellbeing. It may help with sleep challenges, support preparation for medical procedures, or offer a space for deep relaxation. The practice honors each person's journey while supporting their natural path to balance.

Clients often discover that regular sessions can help them develop a deeper connection with their inner wisdom. Many find that having control over their healing experience also helps them feel more empowered in other aspects of their lives.
