What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki Healing is a Japanese relaxation technique that allows the body to relax in such a way that it heals itself. Drawing on ancient Eastern wisdom, Mikao Usui created a Reiki system in the 1920s that has since been refined. In 2014 Reiki Master/Teacher William Rand introduced Holy Fire® III Reiki. This style of Reiki healing is a more subtle, yet powerful form of Reiki for today’s world. The word “Holy” within the context of Reiki has no religious meaning, but rather denotes a sense of “wholeness” felt by the recipient. What is unique and appealing about Reiki is that it is noninvasive and respects the recipient’s free will. In person Reiki uses light touch to reduce stress and tension and to activate the body’s healing system by facilitating deep relaxation. This relaxed state helps one to build resilience in order to cope with life’s ups and downs. Additionally, Reiki healing may help to…
- Manage Chronic Pain
- Reduce Anxiety and Depression
- Face addictions
- Enhance Learning and Memory
- Support The Immune System
- Improve Sleep
- Speed Up Recovery From Surgery or Long Term illness and Much More...
Reiki is not to be used as a substitute for advice and therapy from a medical practitioner, but rather, as a complementary relaxation technique that supports Western medicine.

What Happens During A Reiki Healing Session?
After welcoming you and discussing what you'd like to focus on, you're invited into the Reiki room. Here we'll begin the session where you'll lie fully clothed on a Reiki table. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from comfortably lying down, then the Reiki session can proceed in a comfortable chair. I play soft, background music and accompany each session with an essential oil(s) that correspond to the chakra(s) that require the most attention. The oils are rubbed into my hands and their lovely scent is carried to the chakras to facilitate healing. Sessions may be hands on or off, depending on your preference.
I often use Crystal Therapy during the session, which is the use of specific crystals and gems. Crystal Therapy enhances the transmission of energy and provides you with extra support in your healing process.

Distance Reiki Healing
Distance Reiki is a powerful and effective way to receive healing energy from a distance. It is perfect for those who are unable to come in for an in-person session, or for those who live far away.

Children’s Reiki Healing
Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive healing modality that is perfect for children. It can help them to relax, reduce stress, and promote healing on all levels. At Catalyst Healing, we offer both in-person and Distance Reiki sessions for children of all ages.

Animal Reiki Healing
Animals are also very receptive to Reiki Energy, and it can be a great way to help them relax, reduce stress, and promote healing. Catalyst Healing offers both in-person and Distance Animal Reiki sessions. We have a deep love and respect for animals, and we are honored to share Reiki with them.

Distance Reiki Healing
Distance Reiki Healing is the practice of sending compassionate, healing energy to another person separated by distance. This type of remote healing works as well as in-person Reiki because we are all connected, as we are all made of energy, and part of a larger whole. Distance Reiki healing is one of the many ways to link and channel this energy for the healing benefit of others. Just as cell phones use electromagnetic radio waves to connect with other cell phones, Reiki recipients can connect with Reiki practitioners over a distance to receive Reiki.
Distance Reiki healing is suitable for those who cannot make it to in person Reiki sessions, including the elderly, people with mobility challenges, those who are sick and people with busy schedules.
“Liz has a lovely grounded presence, and I also found it pleasant to be in my own space and not worry about driving.” – Sandy D.
What Happens During a Distance Reiki Healing Session?
A distance session is scheduled for 60 minutes online. After a brief check in, I send 50 minutes of compassionate healing energy, while we are still connected. For your comfort, I recommend that you lie down or sit up comfortably in a quiet room. A candle and soft music is a nice added touch for the session. I suggest having a glass of water nearby for after the session as well. After the session has ended, we discuss what was experienced, and then disconnect. I do a routine checkup a few days following your session to see how you’re feeling.
“I did a distant Reiki healing session with Liz…within minutes I felt a great deal of relief. My body started to relax and my breath began to deepen…Liz is very soft spoken and cares about the suffering of others. I will see her again.” – Guillaume S.

Children’s Reiki Healing
Children today deal with a lot of pressure from social media, peers and their parents. Anxiety and depression, ear infections, respiratory infections, asthma, gastrointestinal upset, type 2 diabetes, and eating disorders thwart kids’ mental, physical and spiritual health.
Reiki can benefit children, regardless of the disorder, and can be very calming for parents and kids alike. Reiki healing helps kids to relax. When a child is relaxed, they feel safe. These feelings of safety help kids to move forward in their lives with confidence.
“Liz is very patient, calm and understanding. [My son] looks forward to seeing Liz for her beneficial Reiki healing sessions. We are grateful for her services and highly recommend her.” – Akemi W.

A session for young children is play based. I start the session by playing with your child, then send Reiki healing from across the room, while the parent(s) continue playing with their child. Whereas a session for older kids and teens takes place on a Reiki table.

Animal Reiki Healing
Animals bring us comfort and joy. A slobbery kiss, a rub against your legs, silly antics, a non- judgmental ear – their love for us is endless.
Animal Reiki healing is an ideal way to give back to your pet their unconditional love and loyalty. Like Reiki for people, Animal Reiki healing helps your pet relax so their body can heal.
As with a healthy person, a healthy animal will have energy flow efficiently and strongly throughout their body. Any blockages of this energy will create physical, psychological or behavioural imbalances. Animal Reiki healing can address these imbalances and support healing.
Animal Reiki may help with…
Emotional issues (trauma, abuse, neglect)
Fear, anxiety and trust issues
Grief
Relationships between people and their pets
Depression
Pre-post surgery support to aid recovery
Pain management
End of life transition
and much more…
I schedule 1 hour Animal Reiki appointments in your home as your pet is most comfortable there. I treat your pet as an equal partner throughout the Reiki healing session and never force them to sit or stay to receive Reiki. Since animals are hypersensitive to energy, I always approach gently and quietly, and offer the Reiki hands off. I let them initiate hands on Reiki. If they walk away, they’ll still receive the healing they need, even if they leave the room.
Online Distance Reiki healing for animals is ideal for all pets as well – especially aggressive, nervous, anxious, or fearful ones. They accept healing energy without someone intruding in their space. Distant reiki healing sessions work best when your pet is asleep or having quiet time so as not to be disturbed by distractions.
