Care for your energy. Co-create your experience.
Something shifts in a Reiki session that is difficult to describe until you’ve experienced it.
A settling.
A release.
Like something that has been held for a very long time finally being allowed to rest.
This is not magic - it is your body’s own intelligence being supported to do what it already knows how to do. And when that session is held by a licensed clinician who also reads energy, the container is different.
Deeper. More precise.
Reiki at Essential Essence is not a stand-alone modality. It is one thread of an integrated healing practice -informed by over a decade of clinical expertise in trauma, the nervous system, and the body’s wisdom.
Reiki is gentle, non-invasive, and non-pharmacological - designed for wellness, stress relief, and alleviating distress through compassionate, soothing presence.
It is a complementary therapy and can be used alongside other medical and psychological treatments.
Effective for: stress, anxiety, restlessness, mood, worry, sleeplessness, fatigue, chronic pain, and more.
Treatments may include:
On-the-body and non-touch energy treatments
Removal of stagnant and low-vibrational energies
Vibrational work with crystal grids
Ancestral and lineage clearing
Distance treatments
Animals or pets

The process
Your care, comfort, and presence are the foundation of every session.
1. Sacred Listening - We begin with an initial conversation to learn about you, your needs, and your intentions for care.
2. Mutual Agreement - When collaboration feels like a good fit, we complete mutual agreements, scheduling, and payment.
3. Session Protocol - We meet and design your healing protocol together.
4. Treatment- We open sacred space for protection and connection. You will typically rest on a massage table under fresh linens. Reiki is received fully clothed, with the option for hands-on or hands-off treatment. Ashica layers multiple holistic, energetic, and evidence-based therapeutic practices to meet your healing intentions.
5. Integration - Post-session review, aftercare recommendations, and complimentary home integration guidance.
