Welcome to yoyoREIKI

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful healing technique. The Reiki practitioner lightly puts hands on your body, thereby transmitting and releasing energy. Let your stress melt away, as Reiki 's soothing touch helps dissolve physical and emotional issues. Reiki is a great addition to traditional medicine or therapy. FEEL BETTER.

Book a Reiki session in Washington Heights (Upper Manhattan) or a Distance Reiki, from anywhere in the world.

why REIKI

What is Reiki?

Rei-ki means universal energy.  Reiki practitioners transmit energy that's all around us and thereby help balance the client's energy fields. Like other holistic treatments, Reiki can improve your physical, spiritual and emotional well-being. Read more about Reiki HERE.

What's a session like?

Before the Reiki session, we talk about what's going on and if there's anything you'd like help with.  During the session, you lie fully clothed on a massage table, first on your back, then on your belly while I gently place hands on your body. You can relax and let the energy do its magic. YoyoREIKI sessions are in the tradition of Dr. Usui's original Reiki. If you like, we can add guided meditation or healing stones.

Does it work?

Yes! Some say Reiki changed their life. While there is limited scientific proof, many leading hospitals are adding Reiki to their services of holistic healing methods.

Find out for yourself!

It's best to have a few sessions.

 SERVICES


 

IN PERSON REIKI 

Arrive in a beautiful room overlooking the Hudson. After we talk, you relax on a comfortable massage table, as Elke goes through the Reiki positions and gives you a customized session. Optional: music, essential oils, and gem stones. Please note:

Friendly cat in the house (not in the room) 

DISTANCE REIKI 

Just like a Reiki session, but done distantly, through space and time. We have a pre-Reiki conversation, on the phone, Zoom, or in-person. You will get the approximate time when Elke will do your distance Reiki - with the same love and care she puts into an in-person session.

PET REIKI 

In-person Pet Reiki at your home.  Your pet leads the way and the session, as Elke slowly gets to know them. 

She uses hand positions that your pet is comfortable with on that day. Just as for people, Reiki can help alleviate physical issues and help animals with stress and anxiety.

What Clients Say

TESTIMONIALS

Elke masterfully applies her skills creating a totally safe space for mind and body. It is my experience that she operates intuitively, balancing gentleness with the ability to accompany the client through a restorative letting go.  

After the session, I was relaxed and peaceful.

I recommend a Reiki session with Elke as a generous gift to yourself.

Nicola M (CT-NYC)
