Discover the Healing Power of Reiki: A Japanese Energy Technique
Looking for a POWERFUL way to reduce stress, release tension, and support your body’s natural healing abilities? Reiki is a Japanese technique that promotes relaxation, reduces energetic blockages, reduces pain, and helps restore balance to your mind, body, and spirit.
What Is Reiki?
During a Reiki session, the goal is to activate a healing process, moving the body out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and restore” mode, which sets the body up for healing.
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a form of energy healing that works with the body’s subtle energy fields. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki involves the transfer of universal energy through the hands of a trained practitioner to help activate your body’s natural healing response.
This healing modality originated in Japan. “Rei” means universal & “ki” means life energy. In Reiki, an experienced therapist uses touch to channel energy & activate the natural healing process to restore physical & emotional well-being. It is known to reduce stress, anxiety & especially to release stored trauma.
Reiki is used in wellness clinics and hospitals worldwide to support physical, emotional, and spiritual health and is recognized by the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health as a form of energy medicine
What to Expect During a Reiki Session
We’ll start with a brief consultation to identify any sensitive areas, current challenges, or wellness goals. You’ll then relax, fully clothed, either in a chair or on a massage table.
I will gently place my hands on or just above your body in a series of positions, focusing on key energy centers (chakras) and meridians.
Every session is different! You may feel warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of calm as blocked energy is released and balance is restored. Some feel light, like floating. Many fall asleep. Tummy digestion is often heard as the body moves into a parasympathetic mode (rest and digest!)
A Reiki session with Monique is an opportunity to go inward; some clients are able to tune into their inner voice or see images that can guide them on their journey.

Virtual / Distance and Mobile Reiki Healing Sessions
- In-person, Mobile, Reiki with Monique in Chicago: We will be in the same room, allowing me to place my hands on your physical body (if you are comfortable with that).
- Mobile Reiki in Chicago: We’ll travel to you!
- Virtual / Distance Reiki with a Certified Master: Just as it sounds, the Reiki energy is sent across space and time to your physical location while I remain at my residence. The receiver (you) will experience the same benefits as being in person. We connect via Zoom or a phone call, if preferred. You create a quiet in your home where you won’t be interrupted. At the end of the session, we still connect to discuss the experience.
Reiki in the Corporate Wellness Workplace
Reiki is a phenomenal opportunity to help employees calm their nervous system, ease stress and tension, and find peace in their day.
Think of this as similar to chair massage, where employees relax in a chair for 10 to 20-minute Reiki Infusion sessions. No messy hair, rumpled clothes, or smeared makeup.
