Reiki energy, often called “universal life-force energy”, is the natural, vital energy that flows through all living things. Love, etc. In Reiki practice, this gentle, supportive energy is channeled through the practitioner to help encourage balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. While not a medical treatment, working with this universal energy is aligning, centering, calming and clearing. During a session, you lie fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner gently places their hands on or just above specific areas of your body. You may experience warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation as the energy flows.

The session is quiet, calming, and tailored to support your unique needs.

Shamanic Reiki is a powerful and holistic healing practice that weaves together the ancient wisdom of shamanism with the gentle energy of Reiki. Shamanism is one of the oldest spiritual traditions, centered around earth based wisdoms, connecting to the four directions, elements, spirit guides, and the unseen realms for healing, guidance, protection and guardianship. Reiki, on the other hand, is a Japanese healing modality using Universal Energy that is facilitated into the clients body and energy field by an attuned and trained practitioners hands, working to balance chakras and restore your body’s natural energy flow.

Together, Shamanic Reiki creates a sacred space for deep healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. This practice helps release energetic blockages, clear old patterns, and promote alignment.

Each session is tailored to the clients needs. The session may or may not include the following;

• Gentle energy work to release blockages in the body.

• The practitioners hands resting on or hovering over the appropriate areas of the body, excluding uncomfortable or private areas, while the client is comfortably laying on a massage table.

• Sound healing; Can include humming, rattling or drumming to support the process.

• The use of tools like feathers and crystals, sage, palo Santo

• Guided visualization or journeying or instruction for emotional release or deeper connection to spiritual guides.

• Verbal Counseling

• Guided Meditation

• Guided Breathwork

The goal of Shamanic Reiki is not only to bring your mind and body  into a state of peace and harmony but to empower you to reconnect with your inner wisdom, heal past wounds, and embrace your authentic power. To move forward in life, fearless and compassionate, with an open untethered heart. This is a safe, supportive, and non-invasive process that is tailored to meet your unique needs.

Each session is a co-created, spirit-led healing experience rooted in safety, presence, and your body’s readiness. No forcing, no fixing, just following. We move gently, honoring your capacity, and letting the work unfold in alignment with your nervous system and spirit. This can include everything experienced in a shamanic reiki session.

The session may include:

– Shamanic practices, including soul retrieval, for spiritual reintegration and restoring lost parts of self due to a traumatic experience. Drum journey, cord cutting and sound healing.

– Reiki and energy healing to release stored trauma, support regulation, and bring coherence to your energetic system

– Breathwork to safely discharge emotional energy and reconnect to the body

– Somatic movement and touch to support reconnection, rewiring, embodiment, and emotional release in a resourced way

– Intuitive and spiritual guidance as insights, themes, and messages emerge throughout the session

This is not a one-size-fits-all trauma protocol. Every session is shaped by where you are, what you’re ready for, and what wants to be witnessed or reborn. You’ll also receive grounded practices to take home, tools to support integration, self-regulation, and continued healing between sessions.

Sessions are offered in Alee’s Studio, located in Columbus Circle in Manhattan, New York OR the comfort of your own home with a remote session, held over the phone or zoom.

Each Shamanic Reiki, or Trauma Support session is unique and guided by your individual needs and intentions. Here’s what you might experience during your session:

Physical Sensations

• Tingling, Warmth, or Coolness: You may feel subtle energy shifts as blockages release and your energy flow balances.

• Deep Relaxation: Many clients feel a sense of lightness or heaviness as the body relaxes and begins to heal.

• Energy Pulses or Vibrations: Some report feeling gentle waves of energy moving through their body.

Emotional Responses

• Emotional Release: It’s common for emotions like joy, sadness, or relief to surface as old patterns are cleared. This may include tears or deep breaths.

• Clarity, Insight, Epiphanies: You may feel a deeper understanding of yourself, your challenges, or your path forward.

• Memories from the past

Spiritual Experiences

• Visions or Images: You might see colors, shapes, symbols and/or imagery as your energy aligns with the healing process.

• Connection to Spirit Guides or Ancestors; Through journeying or visualization, you may feel, see, hear or sense the presence of loving spiritual support.

• Inner Peace: Many clients describe a profound sense of stillness, presence, or connection to something greater both during and after the healing.

Other Experiences

• Nothing Specific: Some clients simply feel calm and rested without specific sensations, which is also normal and effective. Healing happens on many levels, even if it’s not immediately felt.

•Feeling Energetically “Cleared”: You may notice a lightness or openness in your energy field after the session.

It’s important to allow yourself time to integrate the healing. You may feel calm, energized, or even slightly tired as your body processes the shifts. Drinking water, journaling, resting or spending time in nature can help support your integration and is highly recommended. You will be given ‘homework’ and recommendations for daily practice to continue on your journey home. Your healing is your responsibility.

Remember, this is a safe and supportive space. All sensations and experiences during the session are valid, and you are encouraged to share and ask questions as needed. Your healing journey is unique to you, and we are here to hold space for your transformation.

Yes—while Reiki is often seen as spiritual, there’s a growing scientific framework that helps explain how it works on an energetic level.

According to Field Theory, everything in the universe—including your body—is made of dynamic, vibrating energy fields. (Just proven)

Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity showed that energy and matter are fundamentally the same, just expressed differently.

Physicist David Bohm later proposed the Implicate Order, a deeper layer of reality where everything is interconnected before it becomes physical form.

Reiki works at that level, guiding energy in the subtle field that shapes your physical, emotional, and mental experience.

Rather than just treating symptoms, Reiki supports healing at the source, before imbalance appears in the body.

This mirrors what quantum physics calls wave–particle duality:

particles like light or electrons exist as waves of potential—until observed, when they “collapse” into form.

Reiki works with your body’s wave state, its field of possibility, before that energy settles into symptoms, patterns, or physical tension.

Yes, I offer Reiki energy healing sessions for children with the consent and presence of a parent or legal guardian. These sessions are shorter, focused on energy work and gently attuned to the child’s energy and comfort level. I use light or no-touch techniques, with the child and parents consent, age-appropriate language, and follow the child’s lead to create a safe and supportive space.

A signed parental consent form is required before the session. Parents are welcome and encouraged to remain present throughout. While there is no special certification legally required to work with children, I approach these sessions with a trauma-informed lens and prioritize the child’s safety, nervous system regulation, and emotional wellbeing.

One session can create powerful shifts; physically, emotionally and energetically. You may leave feeling lighter, clearer or more like yourself. The truth is deep healing is sometimes not a one time event. Its a process of remembering, releasing, reintegrating and then embodying.

Think of this work as a doorway, not a destination. IN our sessions, we open space for your body, heart and spirit to begin (or continue) the process of healing. The real transformation unfolds in how you integrate this work into your life, which is why I offer personalized practices and tools to support you long after the session ends. My role is not to “fix you” (you’re not broken), but to guide you and support your return to your own healing capacity,

Yes. Both physically, emotionally and energetically.

Reiki(universal energy) is “white light”, “love” energy, and strictly benevolent. Your practitioner is also well versed in protection and guardianship from a spiritual standpoint. All energy is contained within the sacred space.

Your practitioner is also trauma informed and trained in emotional support, creating a safe, non judgmental and confidential space.
