Hello, and welcome to The Reiki Room!

My name is Christy Avila and I am a Level III Certified Reiki Practitioner.

I am a life-long resident of the Central Coast who has enjoyed the benefits of Reiki—also known as energy work—for more than 20 years now.

My desire to practice Reiki on others began at one of the lowest points in my life, while I was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. My cousin gifted me a Reiki session to help with my healing.

I immediately noticed a difference in how I felt. I had a greater sense of calm and security, less anxiety, and felt more energized. My mind was also clearer, and I felt more at peace.
I scheduled more Reiki sessions and continued to see and feel a difference in my physical and mental health.

At some point, in those ensuing months, the desire to practice this healing art blossomed inside of me. I decided to become a certified practitioner so I could help others in the same way that I had been helped myself.

I am confident Reiki can benefit you too. So whether you are familiar with Reiki, or completely new to the practice, I am excited to offer my services to you.

I encourage you to open yourself up to its potential to add to your own health and wellness.

Warmly,
Christy

WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is an ancient healing art which manipulates energy flow in the body.
It works on the principle that there is an energy force, in and surrounding the human body, and that the movement of this energy—between the Reiki practitioner and the receiver—allows one’s own natural healing ability to work on both emotional and physical levels.

HOW IS REIKI PERFORMED?

A Reiki treatment session usually lasts one hour. The Reiki practitioner holds their hands over, or gently places them on, certain chakra points as the client lays still on their back fully clothed.

WHY IS REIKI USED?

People use Reiki to decrease pain, ease muscle tension, speed healing, reduce stress and anxiety, and to improve sleep.
Reiki is sometimes used to help people who suffer from pain or discomfort from cancer or other diseases, but Reiki is not used in place of conventional medical treatment.
(Some people who've had chemotherapy treatment said they felt better and had less nausea after having a Reiki session.)

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF REIKI?

Many people who receive Reiki say they have a refreshed spirit, better healing, and an increase in general well-being.
No scientific studies have proven whether Reiki is effective for treating any type of illness, disease, or other disorder, but some health professionals believe it may be useful in helping reduce stress and anxiety.
It is not recommended to forgo conventional medical treatment and rely only on an alternative therapy.

REIKI ROOM TESTIMONIALS:

"Christy has created such a safe and healing environment. I felt seen, heard, and attended to in her space. She's a skilled practitioner who I'm glad to have met."
-Kathleen M.

“I truly enjoyed my Reiki session with Christy. It helped to create a safe space inside my mind that I can go to which I have never really been able to do before. To now have a space to call my own, and know that no one can hurt me there, is a breath of fresh air.”
-Angela M.

“I entered the Reiki space unaware of how mentally tense and preoccupied I was feeling. I immediately sensed from Christy her gentle and open-heart, which put me at ease. As I lay on my back, I felt the tension slip away gradually, especially in my chest and forehead. I felt very safe and that time was stilled. My session with Christy was a time of emotional healing. I believe that this was the start of healing of my physical scars, also. Christy has a gift.”
-Karen K.

“Christy has a knack for making people feel comfortable. She has a calming way about her.”
-Mary S.

“I had my first ever Reiki experience with Christy. I was hesitant because I didn’t really understand what it was or what it accomplished.
But what a beautiful, loving place I went to as Christy guided me through some emotional experiences that came up for me. Positive emotional experiences, where I connected with my heart, and my life, both past and present.
I left feeling so much stronger emotionally than I had for a while. Overall, it was amazing and I am excited to have another Reiki treatment with Christy.”
