What is Reiki?
Usui Reiki is a hands-on energy healing established by Dr. Mikao Usui little more than a century ago. The word “Reiki” means “Universal Life Energy” in Japanese. A Reiki practitioner can channel Reiki energy to themselves and others with the intention to let Reiki energy bring the person into harmony and wholeness. Reiki is an alternative healing modality, which addresses a person in all levels, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It’s commonly used in holistic and integrative medicine to complement other healing practices.
A typical Reiki session can be delivered in person or in a distance setting.
To understand the benefits of Reiki, we first have to understand our four bodies - physical, emotional, mental & spiritual. They are all energy bodies and are connected with and influencing each other. When there’s any blockage or stagnation in any of our bodies, it can usually be manifested as pain / discomfort / feeling stuck or heavy / disorder and so on.
Benefits of Reiki
In short, Reiki helps move energy and qi inside our bodies and bring us back to equilibrium and wholeness. Benefits of Reiki can also be shown up as:
Relieves body pain (chronic / acute)
Stress relief and management
Supports recovery and calibration of nervous system, hormonal system and body organs
Helps with balancing emotions and emotional blockages
Supports mental health, such as anxiety and depression
Improves mental clarity
Helps develop body awareness and stronger sense of intuition
Helps develop our spiritual growth
Reiki can also be applied for important dates, events and special occasions.

"It was my first encounter with Reiki and I had a truly unique experience with Erika. The entire process was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. I was fully focused on my own body and sensations, feeling different temperatures, weights, and more. I also had some childhood memories and images surface in my consciousness. The sharing session afterwards helped me gain a clearer understanding of my own condition, especially on a subconscious level. I realized that certain experiences from my childhood have had an impact on who I am today. It has been incredibly helpful for my spiritual awakening and personal growth."

"Thank you for the session—it was warm and safe. Though tired afterward, I soon felt greater satisfaction and focus. Since the remote Reiki, I’ve noticed: Less gurgling, better body connection (I’m now mindful of keeping my pelvis warm). Falling asleep faster and sleeping deeper, with sustained energy. Improved appetite—finishing three meals daily. A clearer, less cluttered mind. Grateful for your care. Wishing you health and fulfillment. 🌹"

No. The only difference is whether we are physically in the same space. Some people prefer to enjoy their sessions in the comfort of their own space. Some people prefer to enjoy their sessions in a healing studios and centres.
At the meantime, we do not have a fixed location for in-person Reiki sessions. If in-person sessions are preferred, we can arrange studio rentals with extra charge.

We usually suggest people to come with an intention to receive Reiki for their overall wellbeing. You can come with a specific goal to work on but we also suggest people to keep their hearts and mind open as Reiki can sometimes do more than what we think.

As frequent as you like! There’s no limit of how often you can receive Reiki treatments. A Reiki session can continue working in your body for up to 2 days after the treatment. We usually recommend Reiki sessions every 3-14 days depending on your needs in the first few sessions. Then you can adjust according to your body reaction, condition and needs.

The Reiki system was first established by Dr. Mikao Usui in 1922. Traditionally, it’s a healing modality that is passed on through linages - ie in person teaching and attunement. As with many things in the worlds, Reiki does evolve along the linages. Indeed, it’s rare to find the purest and traditional form of Reiki. We can commonly see Reiki practices showing up in varieties because some Reiki Master Teachers have added their own flavor to the traditional Reiki practice and some might have mixed it with other healing modalities or systems for commercial purposes.
One thing we have to be clear about Reiki is, Dr. Usui founded the Reiki system with the pure intention of finding a non-invasive and practical hands-on healing method.
Erika learned and was attuned to the Reiki practice with Corie Chu Healing. It’s the traditional form of Reiki called Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, which can be clearly traced back to Dr. Mikao Usui, Dr. Chijiro Hayashi, and Mrs. Hawayo Takata.
Erika’s Reiki Journey
My Reiki journey began in early 2022 when I became certified in postpartum abdominal binding and started considering the possibility of adding this service to my repertoire.
During a postpartum abdominal binding session, hands-on massage plays a crucial role. At that time, I had limited knowledge about energy, energy exchange, and energy sensitivity. With the simple intention of assisting my friend's postpartum recovery, I inadvertently absorbed the "algidity/coolness/chill" from her body, which resulted in extreme fatigue and severe cramps during my subsequent menstrual cycle.
I share this experience not to place blame on anyone but rather as a valuable lesson and initiation for me, revealing the power of our hands in healing.
Driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how our hands can remarkably transmit and channel energy, I began delving into Reiki and energy healing through various ways, including energy healing sessions and qi gong practices.
In April 2022, I embarked on my first Reiki 1 course. Subsequently, in August 2022 and May 2024, I furthered my knowledge by retaking Reiki 1 and completing the Reiki 2 course respectively, under the guidance of Corie Chu Healing. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and experience Reiki with different teachers. Corie shared with me the history of various Reiki lineages and how Reiki has evolved over the past century, shaping the landscape of the healing and wellness industry as we know it today.
Corie's teachings placed great emphasis on embodying the pure form of channeling Reiki energy, utilizing Reiki symbols with precision, maintaining energetic hygiene, and safeguarding the energetic sovereignty and protection of a Reiki practitioner.
These principles have formed the foundation of my Reiki healing service—to be a conduit for pure Reiki energy and allow Reiki to facilitate healing. Through my own "Reiki experiments", I have witnessed the profound power of Reiki in diluting and healing overwhelmed and stagnant emotions, alleviating physical pain and suffering, and so much more!
I offer my Reiki services in the following ways:
Private sessions (in person & distance healing)
Small private group sessions
