Reiki

If you learned anything back in high school physics class, energy makes up everything.

Yep, that means even you—your body, your thoughts, your fears, literally everything!

This concept lays down the framework for Reiki, an alternative therapy practice that harnesses energy as a form of healing.

In the Japanese language Rei means “universal” and Ki means “life force energy.” 

This traditional healing technique has been practiced throughout the history of humankind—in a variety of different forms—by using a hands-on approach in reducing stress, and promoting health and head-to-toe healing.

Reiki assists in the body’s natural ability to balance and restore itself on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. 

When your life force energy is low, that’s when you are most likely to get sick.

Diseases and illnesses thrive in low energy environments.

When you raise your vibration or life force energy, disease is pushed out and wellness is welcomed in.

How does it work exactly?

During a reiki session, you will lie down on a table or sit in a comfortable chair, sometimes with calming music in the background, while your therapist directs concentrated energy towards your body with his/her hands, body, eyes, and breath. 

According to reiki, pain and trauma can remain stuck or stagnant in your body unless outside energy is forced in to keep it flowing.

As your therapist moves his/her hands over your body, paying specific attention to your “problem areas,” your energy will shift and your aches and pains will be relieved.

This transfer of energy reveals itself through certain physical changes experienced by the reiki practitioner.

For example, your healer may feel their hands warming up, along with a tingling sensation in their fingers.

Once these physical signs dissipate, your healer knows the energy transfer was successful and they can move on to a different part of your body.

Reiki therapists typically spend about 2-5 minutes on each part of the body and implement a variety of hand shapes to conduct the flow of energy.

Reiki can address a wide range of issues, including standard aches, pains, and wounds, as well as emotional blocks, trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression.

More About Reiki Sessions

The duration of your Reiki sessions really depends on your individual needs. You may experience relief in just one session, or you may need multiple sessions for complete healing. 

Your therapist will be able to give you a better sense of your treatment plan when you meet with them for your consultation.

Who can benefit from Reiki? Everyone.

If you feel like prescription pills and western medicine keep failing you, and traditional approaches aren’t bringing you the results you’re hoping for, Reiki may be just the method for you.

It’s important to note that in order for Reiki to work, you need to be in a mental state where you really want to heal and make changes.

Since Reiki is energy-based, your body will not let healing energy without your energetic openness to healing. 

If you are open, willing, and ready to embrace reiki, you will be surprised how quickly you will reap the benefits.

Our therapists are highly trained, compassionate healers, and are ready to help you leave your pain in the past, so you can be become more empowered, awake, and alive. 

Kinesthetic Embodiment

Kinesthetic Embodiment is a unique blend of somatic, experiential, imagerial, and kinesthetic practices that help integrate our minds and bodies, creating greater vitality, empowerment, and experiential awareness. 

The body is the landscape of the unconscious and one of the primary ways we transform is by bringing what is unconscious into our conscious awareness so that it’s no longer running the show behind the scenes. 

Working in the realm of the body and imagery, we access aspects of our consciousness that are ordinarily outside of our awareness.

These split off parts of ourselves are responsible for creating the repeating, damaging patterns that we often don’t understand, even if we can rationalize them. 

In other words, when we integrate our unconscious into our awareness, we regain a sense of empowered 

Created by our founder, Brooke Sprowl, Kinesthetic Embodiment arose out of 15 years of clinical practice in which she discovered that the most powerful healing experiences were those that focused more on the body and the realm of experiential awareness rather than those that focused on intellectual awareness. 

While cognitive and psychodynamic approaches are integrated into Kinesthetic Embodiment, this approach focuses on connecting with the physiology of emotions experienced in the body, working with the realm of images and metaphors to explore and heal unconscious trauma, and using movement and vocalization practices to gain greater access to our experiential awareness.

What Our Clients Say

“With your help, I’ve finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I’ve avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.”
Anonymous Client
“After every session I come away feeling better prepared to start shining light into shadows I’ve hustled past for a long, long time… some rational ones, but a lot more aren’t. Shame is such a stealthy master; He’s been the monkey on my back for a long time. You totally called it. I’m so grateful for your guidance and skill and although sometimes I may shuffle and others I may leap, after our sessions I always feel like I’m moving forward.”
Anonymous Client
“I want to thank you again for your continued help and expertise, and more specifically for yesterday’s learning opportunity about how I can communicate more effectively. After your ultimately appreciated prodding you made me feel comfortable with the idea that expressing confusion or even doubt can serve as valuable conversation-assets, and I look forward to moving forward without those those self-inflicted parameters.”
Anonymous Client
“Just wanted to share that yesterday’s session with you, and a long, productive dinner table conversation with my wife last night, started to uncover a huge gap between perception and reality in my understanding of the status I held in our marriage. Our session opened my eyes to the fact that the inequity I’ve long felt comes from a place of assumed unworthiness. I’m so thankful for this journey we are taking together, with your help, towards deeper, more productive understanding.”
Anonymous Client

“Brooke has really helped me to overcome the problems in my life that I was starting to believe couldn’t change. I now understand where my depression and anxiety came from and they are no longer a part of my life. I now feel a sense of peace and purpose.”
Anonymous Client
“I’ve recommended Brooke to so many of my friends and colleagues, I’m starting to feel like her personal cheerleader. But it can’t be helped. When I look back on the past year, without a doubt the most difficult year of my life, I can’t believe how far I’ve come.”
Anonymous Client
“Brooke has been an incredibly positive influence in my life. I first came to Brooke in the midst of a divorce from my high school sweetheart and best friend. With Brooke’s gentle guidance and supervision, I began the most intense period of personal growth in my life.”
