Reiki

Reiki is a gentle healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that uses energy to release what no longer serves a purpose in the body and mind.  It is based on the idea that we are all born with a universal life force and as we get older it can become impeded by illness, stress and trauma.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.  It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady always creating a beneficial effect.   It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

A Reiki treatment can help remove blockages along the energy channels to allow more love and light into the client achieving better physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance. It is administered at AJM Fitness and Massage Therapy by laying the practitioners hands on different areas of the body above the clothing while the client relaxes in a comfortable laying position.
