Reiki @ Sault Haus
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive Japanese energy healing technique for stress reduction and deep relaxation that promotes healing in body, mind and spirit.
It's a wonderful way to reconnect with your body's innate wisdom and invite healing energy into your life. It is a safe, gentle, and non-invasive way to complement any other medical or therapeutic treatments you are receiving.
It is important to note: Reiki is considered a complementary therapy, meaning it is used alongside conventional medical treatments. It is not a substitute for seeing a doctor.
The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words: "Rei" (Universal Wisdom) and "Ki" (Life Force Energy). It is based on the idea of a universal "life force energy" that flows through all of us. When this energy is low or blocked, you may feel out of balance, stressed or unwell.
During a session, a certified practitioner gently places their hands on or just above your fully-clothed body with focus on certain areas of the body often corresponding to the body's energy centers, or chakras. They act as a channel to guide this positive, balancing energy to you, supporting your body's natural ability to heal itself.
What happens during a reiki session? Reiki treatments typically last 60 minutes. During a session, you’ll lie on a massage table fully clothed, as your reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations. They use a series of 12 to 15 different hand positions.
What does reiki feel like? You may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands. Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all. Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during a reiki treatment, and many fall asleep during the process. Some people describe the release of stuck or stagnant energy which feels like the weight they were carrying was lifted. You may feel lighter and more peaceful following a session, The experience is usually a springboard to mental clarity and emotional ease.

KELLY SITES, RN, REIKI MASTER, INTUITIVE TAROT READER
From an early age I have felt a pull towards doing healing work with a strong desire to help others and make a difference in people’s lives. My journey as a healer really started when I became a nurse. This work has allowed me to provide comfort, support and compassionate care to people dealing with often significant physical and emotional issues.
In 2020 I became certified as a Reiki Master and found reiki to be a gentle yet powerful way to help people to reconnect with their body's innate wisdom and to facilitate deep healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level.
I have also been a tarot reader for over 25 years and have found tarot to be an immensely healing tool which can provide insight, clarity and guidance to help us move forward on our path empowered and inspired.
During my energy healing sessions and intuitive readings, I focus on the holistic healing of mind, body, and spirit to help release energy, thoughts, and beliefs that hold us back from living at our full potential. In my Reiki sessions, I sometimes use crystals, drumming, and other sound healing instruments, such as chimes and crystal singing bowls, depending on individual needs.
It is my hope that through our work together you will find a space that will allow for deep healing, growth and transformation on your path to wellness.
