Reiki, Biofield Tuning, Sound Therapy & Energy Healing
Gentle, personalized approaches to whole-person wellness that support deep relaxation, nervous system regulation, emotional well-being and reconnection with yourself. Our practitioners draw from Reiki, Biofield Tuning, therapeutic sound and other complementary energy-based practices, with each bringing a distinct approach to the work.
Reiki
A gentle approach to rest, balance and energetic well-being
Reiki is a Japanese energy-healing practice in which a trained practitioner uses light touch or works with the hands just above the body. Sessions are quiet, gentle and deeply relaxing, with the intention of supporting balance within the body's subtle energy system and creating the conditions for rest and restoration.
You remain fully clothed and comfortable on a treatment table while your practitioner works intuitively throughout the session. Some people experience warmth, tingling or other subtle sensations, while others simply enter a very peaceful, meditative state. There is nothing you need to do or achieve during Reiki. The experience is an opportunity to slow down, receive and reconnect with yourself.
At Holistic Healing, Reiki is the foundation of the energy work offered by Kathleen, Valerie and Aleja, but each practitioner brings her own training, tools and personal approach to the session.
Biofield Tuning
Working with sound and vibration in and around the body's biofield
Biofield Tuning is a sound-based practice that uses tuning forks within and around the body's biofield. Kathleen incorporates Biofield Tuning into her energy-healing sessions, listening for changes in the sound and vibration of the tuning forks as she works through areas of the field.
Her sessions combine this work with traditional Reiki and may also include intuitive guidance when appropriate. Kathleen approaches the biofield as one part of the connection between our physical, emotional and energetic experiences, using the tuning forks as a gentle tool for exploring areas of tension, congestion or patterns that may be associated with past experiences and emotions.
You remain fully clothed and comfortable throughout the session while the tuning forks are used both around and, at times, on the body.
Sound Therapy
Sound Therapy uses sound vibrations, produced by instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and tuning forks, to guide the body into a state of deep rest and cellular relaxation. By shifting you into lower-frequency brainwaves, sound work releases stored stress, supports emotional regulation, and restores your natural energetic flow.
While Reiki works directly with your subtle energy fields, Sound Therapy gives your body something tangible to feel and hear. During a session, soothing instruments are played around, above, and directly on the body. As the sound waves wash over you, they help quiet a busy mind, ease physical muscle tension, and melt away stress. Hands-on Reiki amplified with sound gives your entire body permission to truly rest.
Private Sound Therapy sessions are offered by Valerie, who also leads group Sound Healing Journeys at the center. See upcoming Sound Healing Journeys →
Energy Healing
A personalized approach that brings the modalities together
Energy healing is the broader term we use for sessions that work with the connection between the body, mind, emotions and subtle energy system. Rather than following one identical formula for every client, our practitioners draw from their individual training and experience to create a session that feels responsive to the person in front of them.
For one person, that may mean primarily Reiki. For another, a session may incorporate tuning forks, therapeutic sound, grounding sensory elements or intuitive guidance. The common thread is a quiet, supportive environment designed to help you slow down, settle and reconnect with yourself.
Because Kathleen, Valerie and Aleja each practice differently, your experience will vary depending on the practitioner you choose.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Your session begins with a brief conversation about what brings you in and what you're hoping to receive from your time together. From there, you'll remain fully clothed and comfortable on a treatment table while your practitioner guides the session using the modalities that are part of her individual approach.
Most of the session is quiet and restful. You don't need to concentrate, meditate or "do" anything. Afterward, you'll have a few moments to reconnect, talk about the experience if you'd like, and ease back into your day.
