Alena is a Master practitioner who blends Reiki with intuitive guidance that naturally arises during sessions, allowing each experience to meet her clients where they are in a way that supports balance, clarity and emotional well-being.  Her practice is devoted to supporting those who are navigating life transitions, such as guiding women throughout the childbearing phase of life; or for those who feel called to deeper inner work, in situations such as purpose, career, mid-life and trauma survivor recovery.  She holds space for women who give deeply of themselves and are seeking reconnection, better grounding and renewed self-honoring.  Her approach is rooted in traditional wisdom and gentle energy work, with the intention of helping release stagnant or limiting patterns so healing can unfold naturally.  She feels it is a privilege to serve in this way, and looks forward to connecting with and collaborating as her practice continues to grow and evolve.

  Reiki is a gentle Japanese practice developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, centered on channeling universal life energy (known as “Ki,” similar to “Chi”) to promote balance and relaxation within the body’s natural energy pathways. Research has shown that Reiki produces effects greater than placebo and has broad potential as a complementary health therapy. It is recognized and utilized by professionals in hospitals, healthcare clinics, and medical systems worldwide to support pain management, emotional well-being, postoperative recovery, chemotherapy comfort, childbirth care, and mental health. My Reiki sessions may be offered with light touch, no touch, or from a distance—allowing the energy to flow where it’s most needed. Reiki offers a calm, restorative experience that helps bring the mind and body into harmony.
