Reiki refers to a practice of hands-on treatment to channel a person’s own energy to provide a sense of healing. Reiki is spiritual but it is not a religion. It enhances the body’s own natural healing ability to treat a person’s body, emotions, mind and spirit. Reiki energy goes to a person’s “highest good”. The goal of a Reiki session is “improvement, peace, and relaxation”.
Sandra Burkeen, a 12 yr Reiki practitioner, will have you sit or lie comfortably in a quiet place and will focus on areas of the chakras (energy centers).

Therapeutic Touch (or TT) is a contemporary healing modality comprised from several ancient healing traditions. It is based on the theory that human beings are fields of vital energy and that in an illness there is an imbalance in the flow of energy. TT helps to bring balance and order to one’s mind, body and spirit. The Touch therapists will use their hands to redirect energy exchange to promote well-being in individuals. The benefits of touch therapy will help you to relax, decrease anxiety and promote your comfort.

*Sessions are one-on-one and held in 30 minute increments from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. Last appointment starts at 6:30pm.
