“Reiki” (pronounced “ray-key”), is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life Energy.” Reiki is an ancient, hands-on, healing art which channels energy through the palms of the hands. This vital spiritual energy activates the natural healing processes, detoxifies the body of both physical and emotional blockages, and nurtures a state of deep relaxation and calmness.
Reiki treats all the vital organs, the head, the torso, the back, and the feet. At the beginning of the session, we will identify your specific physical, emotional, or mental concerns which you would like to focus on during your Reiki treatment.
Reiki treatments work in conjunction with conventional medicine and enhance the benefits of psychotherapy, surgery, and prescription medication.
Awakened Light Reiki offers Hands-on Reiki treatments, Dialoguing treatments, Reiki Clearings, Distance Reiki treatments (Reiki sent through time in space) and Virtual Reiki treatments through Zoom calls (Virtual treatments are Distance treatments that I approach much like in person treatments thru Zoom calls).

The Reiki experience is unique to every individual.
Many people describe a warm sensation flowing throughout their bodies leaving them feeling relaxed and calm. It is common to fall asleep during sessions or to experience a state of deep meditation. During the treatment, you should plan to wear comfortable clothing. I gently place my hands on the clothed client and use different hand positions for various lengths of time depending on how much Reiki energy is required to address the specific area or concerns.
With most treatments, I focus on the torso (the motor of the body), the hip flexors, knees, heart chakra. I then focus on different head positions. Followed by treating the shoulders, the back, the root chakra, back of the knees and feet. After a Reiki treatment, it is essential to drink plenty of water and to have a good night’s sleep. Each treatment includes an intake to see where the client is physically and emotionally followed by the hands-on treatment and then an out take to see how the client is feeling after the treatment.
I always check in the following day to see how the client is feeling thru phone or text.
For treatments that are 2 and 3 hours, I also include:
Dialoging Treatment
A Reiki treatment I use for clients that have different traumas that are deep within their bodies or energy systems. I connect with the clients Highest Self and release energies that are negatively affecting their lives. Dialoguing is very effective for those who suffer from different traumas. This technique helps to release traumas and, in my experience, catapults the healing process with future Reiki treatments.
Deep Clearing Treatment
Clearings are used to release outside energies that attach to us that are not our own energies. These energies may come from other people or from outside sources that cause different physical, emotional and energetic maladies that deplete the bodies system. This technique also clears old family or karmic energies that affect us negatively. This has been very effective and has helped many of my clients experience more balance and presence within themselves and also helps deepen future Reiki treatments.
Distance Reiki

Distance Reiki healing is beneficial if you are unable to attend in person or when you and your practitioner are in different locations. People are often busy, under the weather, or in need of Reiki immediately. In these cases, Reiki can be sent across distances from the practitioner to the client. I will focus on a photograph of you and utilize sacred Reiki symbols which connect energy from me to the client. Distance Reiki healing is set up for a time when the client is in a safe, relaxed space and comfortable position. Distance Reiki has proven to be a profoundly effective healing modality. My distance clients are very pleased with the results they experience with these treatments!
Virtual Reiki are Distance sessions that are done over Zoom calls. They allow the client a longer Reiki session, like an in-person treatment. The session starts with a client/practitioner check-in to see what is going on physically and emotionally. Next the client gets in a comfortable position (lying down or in a comfortable chair) then client receives the treatment until approximately 10 minutes before the end of the session. After the treatment the client and practitioner have another check in to see how the client is feeling.
These sessions are very beneficial and effective for those who are home bound or for one reason or another or are unable to receive hands on treatments. Book an appointment below.

Home
Clearings
Just like our physical bodies, the spaces we live in can hold energies that influence our environment. When those energies are negative, they can affect the people living there physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically. This clearing technique helps remove negative energies and infuse the home with Reiki healing energy.
In-Person Home Clearings

Consultation
(15 minutes)
I offer 15-minute consultations over the phone or Zoom calls for clients who have any questions or want to meet me before a treatment or before signing up for classes.
New Clients
I recommend that new clients select the 2-hour treatment for your first treatment to provide you the necessary time to see where you are at physically and emotionally. I find that longer treatments in general, allow clients to relax into their treatment better which enhances the Reiki experience. I suggest to new clients who want to return for more treatments to come in a succession of four treatments over a couple of weeks. This opens the client’s body and jump starts the healing process for future treatments. It also allows me to see where to proceed with future treatments. Why 4 Treatments?
Questions about treatments
A question I often hear is, “How often should I come in for treatments?”
When I first started practicing, I’d say things like “Reiki will let you know” or “come when you feel like it.” Looking back, I realize that wasn’t always helpful—especially for people new to Reiki, or those who’ve only experienced Reiki blended with other healing modalities.
Now, I usually recommend clients come in weekly at first, much like they would for any regular therapy or healing work. Weekly sessions allow for deeper shifts—physically, emotionally, mentally, and energetically. Once the major patterns begin to release, I suggest moving to every other week, and eventually monthly, depending on what feels right to each client.
Each treatment builds on the last. Reiki works through gentle purification—revealing and releasing what’s been stuck or weighing us down. The more we release, the more we are living in the present and living comfortably in the present. Reiki releases that what weighs us down thru physical, emotional, mental and energetic maladies. Reiki treatments revitalize us in all those arias, and we become more alive and receptive to living.
Another question I often hear is, “Why do I sometimes feel discomfort after a treatment?”
Reiki releases impurities from the physical body, mind, and emotions. Sometimes that clearing can stir up old pain, physical maladies, traumas, or negative energies that have been stored in our bodies and carried over our lifetime. While this can feel uncomfortable in the moment, it’s temporary—and it’s part of the healing process. What follows is often a deeper sense of clarity, peace, and lightness. Reiki reveals to us a deeper relationship with who we truly are.
I bring my experience and care to every treatment, but Reiki itself is the true healer—and the client as the receiver, are an essential part of that process. Reiki will only offer what you're ready to receive, and that’s part of what makes Reiki such a deep and powerful practice.

What People Are Saying
“After I broke my ankle, my heel, and my sacrum, Dave’s Reiki treatments felt so amazing and healing! He came twice a week and I looked forward to my treatments every time! As soon as treatment would start I would go into a meditative calm and sleepy state. It’s like my body craved wherever his hands were. My pain decreased and my overall emotional state became very calm. It was a very important part of my self-care and healing. Dave is so respectful and loving and kind. I felt completely safe in his hands. I almost never get bodywork from men, but I felt so 100% safe with Dave.”
— Marya T.
“My experience of Reiki with Dave was amazing! I felt safe and comfortable talking with Dave before and after the treatments. During the treatments I entered a state of meditation with awesome visuals and an incredible sense of spaciousness and freedom. I could sense my body experiencing an active rhythmic process. After each treatment I felt more fully in my body and a sense of effortlessness physically—including the use of my voice! I also experienced detoxification after each treatment. It is very important to me to have these intimate healing experiences with a male practitioner. I’m looking forward to more reiki treatments with Dave, and am very grateful for the work that he does.”
