What is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that supports your body’s ability to relax, regulate, and restore. At Oakland Reiki Center, sessions are designed to calm the nervous system and support physical and emotional well-being.

People commonly seek Reiki for stress, anxiety, sleep support, emotional balance, and periods of burnout, grief, or transition. It can also help ease physical tension and chronic conditions.

What happens during a Reiki session and what does it feel like?

During a session, you’ll lie fully clothed on a treatment table while the practitioner uses light hand placements. Most people enter a relaxed, meditative state. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a sense of heaviness or lightness. Others simply feel calm. There is no right or wrong experience.

How many Reiki sessions do I need?

Some people appreciate the benefits of a single session, while others benefit from ongoing support. The frequency depends on your goals.

If you’re new to Reiki, a short series of 4- to 6-sessions close together can help your body settle and respond more fully. From there, treatments can be spaced out based on your needs. Healing is a process, and we work at a pace that feels supportive and realistic. Packages are offered at a discount.

TESTIMONIALS

“Before my first session I had heard only whisperings about Reiki, and to be honest, I had my doubts about it. However, after just one session with Elizabeth I was beyond convinced of its power. The strength of Elizabeth's energy work has had physical, emotional, and spiritual impacts on me both during and after each meeting. I am still in awe of the experiences, and I am so grateful to Elizabeth for showing me the impact Reiki can have.”

I find my sessions with Liz to be deeply relaxing and restorative. I suffer from anxiety and chronic neck and shoulder pain, and after a session with Liz, I not only notice that the pain is diminished, but that my mental state is eased as well. Liz has even sent me 'distance reiki' twice, which I must admit, I didn't really think would work. But I'm on here to tell you that the distance reikis that Liz sent did actually work, which blows my mind. They put me right to sleep after helping me get out of stressful states. Liz is so passionate about helping people restore themselves to their best states and it comes through in her practice. I could not recommend Liz more!

Elizabeth Sewell has a gift, and I'm grateful she's sharing it with the world. My distance reiki treatment with Elizabeth left me feeling so much clearer and more grounded, which is exactly what I was hoping to achieve. My husband also had a distance treatment with her, and he has been so much more at peace since the appointment. I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this all works, but we definitely found it beneficial. I look forward to future sessions!

I’ve had quite a few Reiki sessions over the years and Liz’s ease and comfort with the practice was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I am not someone who falls asleep easily or meditates with much calm but my session with Liz made me drop into such an incredibly relaxed state that I almost drifted off. I felt a lot of energy shift around and a sense of healing and consciousness raising after the session. I recommend Liz highly.

— Lily H., Pagosa Springs, CO
What an profound and amazing distance reiki session I had from Elizabeth Sewell. I had the most physically long day I had all year and as I was falling asleep her reiki warmed my body. I asked for focus on 3 of my chakras, including my 3rd eye which finally feels cleared and energized. The sensation of warmth and healing during the reiki i received made me aware of her gift and I'm so lucky to have had this from such a wonderful woman. Please consider having a distance reiki session with her...the healing feeling is worth it for you and your body!

I am so glad I found Liz's community reiki sessions as my introduction to the subtle healing power of reiki. Liz is an intuitive energy healer with a gift of insight who put me at ease.

Tim K.
Elizabeth is a phenomenal Reiki practitioner, but more importantly she is a phenomenal person. She is kind and loving toward others, which is felt warmly in her energy transmissions. Her greatest gift is her selfless caring and compassion for people. I can hardly express how fortunate and grateful I am to have attended my sessions with her.
