Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
Jennifer had her first Reiki treatment in 2003, as way to clear away emotional baggage prior to getting married. She was awestruck by the emotional releases she experienced and the sense of forgiveness and peace she felt after each session.
Jennifer continued to get Reiki treatments periodically until 2006, when she connected with Heather Ruiz, owner of Roslindale Yoga and Usui Reiki Master. Under Heather's instruction, Jennifer became a Reiki I Practitioner in 2008 and a Reiki II Practioner in 2010.
