now i don't mean to seem dramatic, but to say that my life changed when i discovered reiki would not be an overstatement. and i suppose an experience that changes or shifts one's 'being' is dramatic. most certainly, it is profound and hard to explain in words.
i first discovered reiki through paula. i came to her after a year and a half of amenorrhea, severe abdominal pain and swelling, dysfunctional digestion and bowels, and a compromised quality of life. after months of tests and various treatments from western medical doctors, i had no answers and constant pain. it was time to try something new and i just happened to find out that paula had started offering reiki.
i recall the feeling i had as i left my first treatment with paula. quite simply, i felt light. my body and mind were silent and the top of my head felt wide open. some inexplicable, guiding energy must have been at my back on that first walk home, for i felt as if i were floating far above the ground around me.
that day marked the beginning of a journey toward a life teeming with health, personal strength, and love. and ever since, pathways to other healing aspects seemed to present themselves along my path in an almost uncanny way. my experience with reiki from paula evolved from intensely affecting sessions, to sustained peace, centeredness, and clarity on a day-to-day basis. when difficulties or pain did come up, i felt far more able to cope.
i do believe paula's hands are destined for healing and creativity. her incredibly authentic way... of caring and sharing, listening and validating... make her that much more of a wise and effective practitioner, teacher, and friend. my time with her inspired me to pursue the study and practice of reiki and i now have access to my own healing power. i treat myself and my growing baby everyday, and my husband, golden retriever, and houseplants whenever i can.
no words can capture my gratitude and depth of experience. if a still, small voice inside you is asking for... or even just wondering about reiki, give it a listen. it could change your life too.

Paula's Reiki offers peace of mind, healing for the body, and a chance to center yourself. I have left Reiki sessions with Paula feeling like I was encased in a suit of psychic armor.
Reiki is a difficult thing to describe. Somewhere between prayer like laying hands and cosmic energy work, Paula manages to soothe the body and calm the mind. I highly recommend her, and can only say you have to try it for yourself.

A recent Reiki session with Paula was a great help to me in moving forward through a tangled legal and emotional matter involving family. Midway through the session Paula asked if I wanted to focus on a specific matter, rather than general issues. I said that I wanted a clear and definite resolution to this matter and then settled back into the calm, floating sensation that I experience with Reiki.
A letter began to be composed and by the end of the session was complete. This direct, kind, concise communication was a pivotal piece for me. It completed my understanding of what I needed to do and how to go about it; clearing the way for me to proceed.
I am so thankful that Paula and Reiki were part of my life at this time to provide me with such great assistance.

Thanks for fixing my shoulder! It was a 'side-effect' of the Reiki treatment. I hurt it in an accident several years ago and have had very limited movement ever since. I couldn't believe it when I reached up and was able to move easily and pain-free. I can't thank you and the Reiki energy enough.

Reiki is a true experience. It’s like meditation, massage, and healing all rolled together. I have been visiting Paula for Reiki treatments every other week over the past few months. After each visit, I always feel centered, calmed, and energized, but each treatment feels unique. Sometimes I feel a powerful energy passing through me. Sometimes my mind wanders off and it’s as if I disappear for a certain amount of time. Sometimes I simply feel calm.
When she touches my heart it feels like her hands are sinking through dough and there's a comforting heaviness on my chest similar to a bunch of heavy blankets. My wrist has been hurting and it seems like extra 'energy' goes there when she touches my arm.
It’s truly a positive experience.
