Why I started doing Reiki and a testimonial for the books!

Over the past several years since I started practicing reiki healing, I’ve had the pleasure of helping animals and people through their cancer therapies. Working with cancer patients is something that hits home for me in a very special way. I lost my dad when I was 5 years old to cancer. I’m sure many of you reading this have a similar story with a loved one. Because of this, I know that it’s part of my life’s purpose to bring healing and relaxation to anyone going through chemotherapy, radiation, and the discomforts that come with them. Positivity has such a powerful effect on how your body fights illness. Here is a testimonial from one of my cancer patients, who is now in remission I feel so blessed to have been a part of her healing.

“Reiki is very beneficial to anyone that needs to get back in "balance" -- whether it is dealing with a stressful job or a serious illness or needing an emotional "tune-up." I can not explain the fear I felt when I was diagnosed with cancer. The staff at my oncologist's office are strong advocates of Reiki. As a breast cancer survivor, I can attest to the power of Reiki used in conjuction with other cancer treatments. It does not replace the physical treatments (such as chemo and radiation) but it can be an important part of your treatment. Reiki can increase relaxation, reduce stress, anxiety, pain and promote balance and well-being. I saw first hand the difference there was between patients that were positive and less stressed versus those that were resigned to a have a bad outcome. Alyssa travelled to my home to perform Reiki sessions for both my husband and myself. It is so relaxing and calming. There have been times I felt tingling during Reiki and assume it is her healing energy being passed on to me. She has such a gentle, calming touch. I am so happy she introduced me to Reiki. I'm sure her other clients (animals and people) are very grateful she chose this path. Alyssa is such a positive and compassionate person. I have been cancer-free for 6+ years. I schedule routine maintenance for my car and think of Reiki as maintenance I can do for me.”
