A Japanese Spiritual Healing Practice
What is Reiki?
According to modern scientific studies, the Universe is energy, consisting of vibrations or waves that surround us and flow through us. We, as human beings, are embodying these vibrations ourselves. Since ancient times, various cultures of the world have recognized a “Universal Life Force” that guides everything toward harmony. In Japan, it has been called Reiki, the waves of love, harmony and healing.
The Origins of Reiki
Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki technique, called Reiki-Ho, was born in Japan in 1865. He went from one life experience to another, pondering about the purpose of life until he attained the state of Anshin Ritsumei on Mount Kurama. From that state of Oneness with the Universe, he realized that if one could align and resonate with Reiki, one would find health and happiness. He reportedly taught Reiki-Ho to two thousand people during his life time. His method traveled to the West where it evolved into various modern styles of Reiki that are practiced today, one of them being Gendai Reiki.
Reiki Benefits
Reiki gently induces the body to heal itself and may restore balance on the emotional level. It equally works on the subconscious mind as we carry memories within us, and helps us to release what needs to be released to come back to our natural state of being. This gentle hands-on technique has since been used as a Complementary Integrative Medicine in various hospitals across the United States with the intent to facilitate the healing of mind, body and spirit.

About Laurence
I learned Gendai Reiki twenty-five years ago when I was still living in France. After sailing from France to New York City, I worked in Fine Art for over fifteen years followed by extensive traveling as a photographer.
Supported by two years of study in Tibetan Buddhism, and a twelve-year meditation practice, I came to realize the importance of Reiki as a way to guide us toward spiritual awareness, and to help us to fulfill our soul’s purpose.
Feeling a strong desire to deepen this practice , I became a Certified Reiki Master after completing all three pre-requisite levels. I was trained by a Japanese Reiki Master in New York who studied with Hiroshi Doi in Japan.

Testimonials
“I came to Laurence feeling stressed from Zoom fatigue, and after my Reiki session with her, I felt much more relaxed and grounded in my body, like waking up refreshed from a deep sleep. What a gift!”
“Before my first Reiki session with Laurence I had sleeping problems for weeks. I relaxed deeply within minutes of therapy. We also localized some resistance or blocages in my body. That is where I felt a sudden release of tension during the second session. I can sleep much better now and feel more balanced. I will definitely continue.”
