Dr. Mikao Usui

This simple, non-invasive healing system works to promote health and well being of the entire physical, emotional and psychic body. Reiki is transformational for attaining and promoting wholeness of Mind, Body and Spirit. Reiki (pronounced “ray-kee”) literally means ‘spiritually guided life force energy’. It is the ancient Japanese art of hands-on healing.
