Understanding the Holiday Struggles
The holidays can stir a range of emotions. While they offer moments of joy and connection, they can also magnify stress and grief. Coping with the loss of a loved one or managing the demands of the season can leave you feeling overwhelmed and in need of support.
Reiki: A Gentle Path to Healing
Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy healing practice that can provide comfort for the heart and soul. Focused on balancing the body's energy, Reiki promotes relaxation, emotional well-being, and an overall sense of calm. Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive technique that helps the body's energy flow more freely, fostering a deeper sense of peace.
