Reiki Through a Christian Lens & Why I no longer offer it as a stand alone.
A Christ-Centered Approach to Gentle Healing Touch
Many people ask how Reiki fits with my Christian faith, so I want to explain it simply, clearly, and respectfully.
What Reiki is in my practice
Reiki, at its core, is a gentle hands-on technique that helps calm the nervous system, relax the body, and create an environment where healing can naturally take place. It is soothing, peaceful, and deeply comforting — similar to prayerful touch, laying on of hands, or quiet stillness.
What changed for me spiritually
Before I dedicated my life fully to Christ, I used the common wellness term “energy healing.”
But through prayer and discernment, I realized I no longer believe I am channeling a universal energy or life force.
Today, I understand that any peace, release, or restoration felt in my sessions is the work of the Holy Spirit, not an impersonal source of energy.
How I now practice Reiki
I still use the techniques of Reiki — gentle touch, stillness, presence, and intentional comfort — because they support the nervous system in powerful ways. But I practice with a Christ-centered foundation, trusting God as the true healer.
Before each session, I quietly pray for:
• guidance
• wisdom
• compassion
• and for the Holy Spirit to bring whatever the client needs
My hands may be working, but the healing belongs to God.
Inclusivity matters to me
I work with everyone, regardless of faith or background.
I don’t push beliefs, preach, or impose anything.
Clients come for peace, nervous system support, pain relief, emotional release, and comfort — and they receive exactly that in a safe, welcoming space. This is the why I don’t offer “Reiki” we a stand alone service. It naturally occurs.
What you can expect in a session
• Gentle, calming touch
• A peaceful environment
• Nervous system regulation
• Prayerful intention
• Deep relaxation and soothing comfort
My belief, clearly stated
Reiki techniques help create the space.
The Holy Spirit provides the healing.
