How Does Reiki Work?
It is well-recognized in scientific and medical communities that the ultimate cause of illness and disease is stress. Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cellular biologist, states that "95% of all illness and disease is caused by stress.”
Stress is normal and happens to everyone, but it becomes a problem when we are in a chronic stress state without any periods of relaxation. This chronic stress affects our health.
When your nervous system can't handle the overload of stress, the sympathetic nervous system goes into a state of "sympathetic on" which is a fight-or-flight response that negatively affects every cell in your body.
Reiki works by activating the parasympathetic nervous system which has been shown to significantly reduce stress.
Can reiki take the place of my doctor or interfere with medications?
No, reiki is not a replacement for medical care but is a safe complementary treatment. Reiki will not interfere with any medical care or medications and can be used concurrently with any medical interventions.

What Happens During A Reiki Session?
During your session at Springfield Reiki, you will remain fully clothed during the whole treatment while lying on a massage table*. Healing energy will begin to flow as my hands are placed just above your body.
Your body will absorb the high vibrational energy. You may experience some tingling or warmth and become deeply relaxed as the calming energy flows throughout your body.
All sessions include:
- Correcting your aura flow
- Repairing holes in your aura
- Unblocking and balancing your chakras
- Taking your body out of fight-or-flight mode
After your session, your entire system will be recharged and balanced. You may notice a feeling of calmness, your mood lifted, less body pain, and feel more grounded. We will discuss any imbalances and will also write everything down on a worksheet that you can take home.
*If you are unable to lie down for long periods of time, we can take breaks. Treatment can also be done while seated in a chair, if needed.
How many sessions do I need?
This is a question that only you can answer. You may want to come in for just one session initially to experience the energy. Multiple sessions are typically needed to remove deep-rooted blockages that may be causing chronic conditions. Many clients prefer monthly or even weekly sessions as part of their self-care regimen. You will never be pressured to book sessions.
How do I know that Reiki has helped me?
After your session, you will notice a shift due to your entire system being recharged and balanced. You will feel calmer, your mood will be lifted, have less body pain, and feel more grounded.

Helping People Manage Stress, Anxiety, and Pain
Hello! I'm Christine, the owner of Springfield Reiki.
I grew up outside Boston, MA and moved to the Springfield, MO area in 2004.
During my mid-twenties, I no longer wanted to take the doctor's word that I was going to have to live with chronic pain and be on medication for the rest of my life. This led me on a journey searching for ways in which I could take control of my own healing.
I discovered Reiki, and never looked back. This powerful energy has changed my life physically, mentally, and spiritually. I’ve become happier, healthier, and able to get through the day much more easily.
I’ve had hundreds of hours of high-quality Reiki training where I have mastered the energy healing techniques that I use in my sessions.
My passion is helping others who have been searching for their own healing with little to no results. If Reiki can help me then I believe it can help anyone.
if you haven’t seen the results you want from other treatments and therapies, I encourage you to book a session to see what Reiki can do for you!
