Testimonials

I have had the good fortune to work with Lisa on a few occasions. Undaunted by overwhelming tasks, Lisa tackles the seemingly undoable with a patient and practical approach. She has helped me pair down a closet full of clothes; she also transformed an office space full of boxes, files, and stressful amounts of paper into a beautiful, functional organized space. I felt joy and relief after working with Lisa!To work with Lisa is to receive the best gift possible for yourself! She takes the time to listen and understand your needs before proceeding and she offers simple, helpful tips to maintain a space that you want to spend time in. Lisa’s eye for design and how to arrange home decor is also why I hired her to stage my home. With her expertise, our home looked stunning in its online photos. When I moved, I consulted with Lisa regarding paint colors and home decor, and she helped me fashion what I had into beautiful spaces that housed what I loved most (shell collections, woven baskets, family photos, books!, and art). Alongside her design and organization strengths, Lisa is also tuned in to what it is that you want and need to thrive in your life.”


Sabrina Lowe

I have known Lisa for over 20 years. I have always admired how in tune she is with nature and all things spiritual. She is so kind, personable, and very intuitive. When she told me about her desire to assist people who are in the process of transitioning, I told my sister, who thought it would be wonderful for our 93-year-old father to have at least an hour during the week that he could just talk to someone. And so we hired Lisa, who helped our dad consider things he hadn't thought about or spoken to anyone about. Lisa paid attention and prompted Dad according to her observations. The excitement that we saw in our dad as he prepared for his weekly call with Lisa was palpable and gave us such joy to witness. Lisa, we are so grateful to you for having been such an important part of Dad’s final days. Thank you so much!”

FAQs

Death Doulaship

Reiki is a traditional Japanese technique for energy healing, founded by Mikao Usui in 1922 on Mt. Kurama, Japan. It’s a method that focuses on channeling energy to promote healing and balance.

Reiki healing is performed through a gentle placement of hands either directly on or just above various parts of the body. This process is designed to enhance our ‘Universal Life Force Energy’ flow. Low or blocked energy levels can negatively impact our well-being, potentially contributing to emotional or physical health issues over time.

Reiki is widely used for its ability to alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, and pain. It’s a holistic approach that targets the Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Mental aspects of an individual.

Wear loose and comfortable clothes for your session, minimize jewelry, and have an intention or purpose in mind. This intention can be as general as overall well-being; Reiki energy intuitively flows to where it's needed most.

Yes, Remote Reiki is a viable option and works based on the principle that energy is not confined by physical distance. In a Remote Reiki session, the practitioner uses focused intention and specific techniques to send healing energy across any distance to the recipient. This method is based on the understanding that we are all connected through the universal energy field. Just like an in-person session, it aims to balance energy and promote healing on physical, emotional, spiritual, and mental levels. All you need is a quiet space where you can relax undisturbed while the practitioner conducts the session at a mutually agreed-upon time.

During a session, you may feel a variety of sensations from the practitioner’s hands, such as warmth or coolness. Some people see colors, others may fall asleep, have a spiritual awakening, or feel nothing specific. Generally, people leave feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful, and energized.

The frequency of sessions depends on your needs. For chronic needs, a weekly session is ideal. As your condition improves, you might reduce the frequency to bi-weekly or monthly. Your practitioner will work with you to determine the best schedule based on how you feel and respond to the treatments.

Reiki is a complementary healing practice and should not be considered a replacement for professional medical care. Our practitioners do not diagnose conditions, nor do they prescribe substances or perform medical treatments. Clients are advised to seek professional medical advice for any physical or psychological ailments they may experience. Reiki sessions are conducted with the consent of the client, who may discontinue treatment at any time. Personal information shared during sessions will remain confidential. Clients under the age of 18 require parental or guardian consent.
