      <image:caption>Reiki is a Japanese technique that is an ancient form of healing therapy. It comes from the words “Rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy). It is administered by using the facilitator’s hands to tap into this life energy which activates the body’s natural healing processes. Paul is a Reiki Master that has practiced Reiki on his clients since 2021. He brings a calm, powerful and intuitive presence to a session. Check out his testimonials for more information on people’s experience. “Reiki is alleged to aid relaxation, assist in the body’s natural healing processes, and develop emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. It is also said to induce deep relaxation, help people cope with difficulties, relieve emotional stress, and improve overall wellbeing. People who receive Reiki describe it as “intensely relaxing.” (Medical News Today) 1 hour - $70 in-person (email pbenedict99@gmail.com to discuss availability)</image:caption>
