What is Shamanic Reiki?

Shamanic Reiki is a blend of energetic healing and shamanic healing practices that support deeper connection, awareness, healing, and integration within the mind, body, and spirit.

For me, shamanic healing is the journey of going within and reconnecting with the parts of ourselves that may have been forgotten, rejected, wounded, or kept hidden away in order to survive. It is about meeting those parts with compassion, presence, and love so they can begin to reintegrate back into wholeness. Often, these parts hold emotions, memories, protection patterns, or energetic imprints that are still influencing how we experience ourselves and our lives today.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing modality that works with universal life force energy. The word “Reiki” roughly translates to “spiritually guided life force energy.” Through gentle hands-on or hands-above-body techniques, Reiki supports the body’s natural ability to regulate, restore balance, and shift stagnant or blocked energy within the physical, emotional, mental, and energetic systems.

When I combine Reiki with shamanic healing practices, the session becomes both grounding and intuitive. The Reiki creates an energetic pathway for relaxation, awareness, and healing, while the shamanic aspects of the work allow us to explore what the body, energy field, and deeper parts of the self may be communicating or ready to shift. These sessions are not about “fixing” someone, but rather creating a safe space for the body and nervous system to soften enough for healing, clarity, release, and reconnection to naturally occur.

A Shamanic Reiki session may support someone who is:

• feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, or energetically heavy

• navigating grief, transitions, heartbreak, or burnout

• wanting to reconnect with themselves on a deeper level

• seeking nervous system support and emotional release

• feeling disconnected from their body, intuition, or sense of purpose

• looking for a more holistic and body-based healing experience

Each session is unique because every person’s journey, body, and energy are unique. Some people experience emotional release, deep relaxation, insight, clarity, or a stronger connection to themselves and their intuition. Others simply leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and more connected to their body and inner world. At its core, Shamanic Reiki is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with the wisdom and wholeness that already exists within you.
