Energy Healing with Pauline
REIKI
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and promotes healing. It is done by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea of unseen ”life force energy” that flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If ones “life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
​
How is a Reiki treatment given?
In a standard treatment Reiki energy flows from the practitioners hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table but treatments can also be given while the client is seated or even standing. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the clients body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position. The whole treatment usually lasts between 45 and 60 minutes.
​
What does a Reiki treatment feel like?
What one experiences during a Reiki treatment varies somewhat from person to person. However, feelings of deep relaxation are usually felt by all. In addition, many feel a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and surrounds them. As the Reiki energy encourages one to let go of all tension, anxiety, fear or other negative feelings a state of peace and well-being is experienced. Some drift off to sleep or report floating outside their bodies or have visions and other mystical experiences. At the end of the treatment, one feels refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook.

A Holistic Approach
As part of Pauline’s Reiki practice, she often incorporates additional modalities such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) to further support her clients’ healing journeys. This can be done sitting at a table or on cushions once the client has moved into a more resourceful state after a relaxing Reiki session. She also provides simple, practical tools to help clients continue their progress between sessions. Her goal is to empower you with resources and guidance to sustain your well-being long after your session ends.

Reiki Level 4 Practitioner, Neurolinguistic Programming, EFT
While having a fulfilling career as an IT Director in corporate America, I embarked on a personal journey to heal and grow beyond the challenges that life presented. My quest for self-discovery and healing led me to explore a variety of holistic modalities, culminating in becoming a certified Reiki Master in 2012.
In 2022, I decided to pause my career in IT and corporate America to embark on a healing journey of personal growth and transformation. This path has been both challenging and rewarding, and while my journey is still ongoing, it has provided me with valuable insights and experiences. I am passionate about sharing what I’ve learned to help others navigate their own paths toward healing and fulfillment.
Now, I’m honored to offer Reiki and integrative healing sessions at Shanti Om Yoga. My approach is rooted in creating a deeply personalized experience for each client, blending Reiki with complementary techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and EMDR-inspired practices.
Each session is tailored to address specific concerns, whether physical, emotional, or energetic. Beyond the session, I empower my clients with simple, effective tools and practices they can use at home to continue their healing journey until we meet again.
