About Reiki with Sarah
How Does Reiki Work?
We spend most of our waking lives coping with new challenges, new information, and new experiences. Reiki offers our body, mind, and spirit an opportunity to move from coping to healing.
I am a skeptic and questioner while also being curious and eager for new experiences. I cannot explain in scientific terms what I have felt working with and receiving Reiki. Since beginning my exploration of Reiki, I have internally reclaimed the phrase “placebo effect” from the disdain I formerly held toward unexplainable changes. With no negative side effects and potent positive effects self-described by receivers, perhaps some healing has psychological and spiritual roots that defy understanding.
I believe there is healing power in sharing with and being witnessed authentically by another human. I also find joy and comfort in the mystery that perhaps a life force beyond the physical can be channeled toward positive change in our lives and world.
What to Expect
During your session, I invite you to rest, experience your own energy in a new way, and allow yourself to heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I offer a listening ear and gentle touch oriented around pressure points and chakras. I bring my creativity, intuition, and experience to sense and observe your energy while opening myself as a channel for healing.
We begin by speaking about areas that interest or concern you physically or emotionally. We transition into a quieter, more reflective state in which you can rest on my massage table while I work. During this time, I can use words and/or touch as you prefer. We end by sharing observations and reflections before moving gently into the rest of the day.
About Sarah
I am a professional musician, educator, and advocate, with deep roots in the biological sciences. I bring an empathetic ear, curious mind, joyful heart, and creative spirit to my Reiki practice. One of my strengths is welcoming people as they are. Clients I have worked with have described feeling a powerful healing presence and reported feeling energized and sleeping better following sessions.
In spring 2024, I completed a Comprehensive Reiki Mentorship with Jessica Sharp of Gentle Hands Reiki in Laurel, Maryland, and am now certified as a Reiki Master Teacher.
While I am new to practicing Reiki, I bring over 25 years of experience working with individuals of all ages to maximize their potential in private music lessons.
I am grateful to now offer this unique healing modality to my community. Some of the communities I identify with include musician, parent/mother, LGBTQ+, military, and neurodivergent/ASD ally.
