What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced RAY -key) is a gentle healing technique that addresses any energy imbalances in the body. Reiki is made up of two Japanese words. Rei which means "universal or higher power or God consciousness" and Ki which means "life force energy" - also known as chi in China, prana in India. Reiki is not a massage technique. The practitioner simply acts as a conduit for the energy to pass through and will place their hands lightly on or above your head, shoulders, back, chest,stomach,limbs and feet. Reiki is a technique that treats the whole person including body,emotions,mind,spirit and creates beneficial effects including stress reduction and relaxation. It promotes healing by stimulating the immune system and can help to relieve both emotional and physical symptoms. Reiki is non-invasive and safe and may be used in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques both traditional western and alternative therapies and is being used by a rapidly growing number of hospitals all over the world. When Reiki is used in this way, many people report a speedier recovery, a reduction in negative side - effects and better recuperation overall.
What causes energy imbalances or blockages?
Energy imbalances can be caused from many situations occurring in our lives, such as: emotional or physical trauma,injury,negative thoughts and feelings, including fear,worry doubt anxiety, negative self-talk, toxicity, nutritional depletion,destructive lifestyle and relationships,neglect of self and lack of love of oneself or others and any emotions not expressed in a healthy way.
"When we are born we can also bring past life experiences into our current life, stored in our soul and in the outer layers of the aura as special ki-charged subconscious memories.These experiences, which are also called Karma,affect our minds and emotions and the decisions we make and cause us to attract events into our lives similar to the events that originally formed the karma. The theory that we have lived before and that the experiences we've had in past lives are effecting us now has proven useful in psychotherapy. " William Lee Rand -The Reiki Touch 2005
What can Reiki be used for and what are the benefits of Reiki?
Reiki is a simple, safe and natural method of healing and self improvement that most everyone can benefit from. It has been found effective in helping every known illness, including cancer.
One of the greatest health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation,which triggers the bodies natural healing abilities, and improves and maintains health. People generally feel very relaxed and peaceful during a treatment and sometimes fall asleep.
During a Reiki session one may feel the effects physically or experience emotional release,clarity and awareness, confirmation of thoughts, attitude shifts, creative insight, a state of neutrality, a solution to a problem or a number of other nonphysical ways.
There is an ever growing body of evidence in books,independent studies, trials,personal testimonials all suggesting that Reiki can help heal in profound ways on many levels.
Do I need to believe in Reiki or God/Higher Power for it to work?
No. Reiki can be described as spiritual in nature but it is by no means a religion. Reiki does not require belief in its efficacy or precepts, only in the willingness and desire to participate in one's own healing journey.
What is a typical Reiki session like with Toni?
A full session of Reiki typically lasts 30 minutes or 1 hour . Reiki is done fully clothed. It is important for you to wear something comfortable or bring comfortable clothing to change into so you can be fully relaxed and enjoy the full benefits of Reiki. Reiki can be done hands on or off and you will be lying in a comfortable position on a massage table. Reiki can be done seated too; whatever is most comfortable for you.

First I will ask you what you would like Reiki to help with and answer any questions you may have at that time. I think it is very important to set your intentions for the Reiki session; although Reiki may also work on unexpected issues or levels.
I will then play some relaxing music or it can be quiet if that is what you prefer. I will then guide you through a short meditation to allow you to get into a relaxed state. I find the Reiki session more fulfilling if we are both in a quiet meditative state throughout the session. It is your time to fully relax and let go!!! I give Reiki intuitively, so you will feel my hands lightly touch you where I am guided. Through the Reiki session I will check if you have any imbalances in your chakras (chakras are energy centers in the body) and allow Reiki to rebalance your energy. At the end of the Reiki session, if you would like, I can share any information of what imbalances were found or any intuitive messages or images I may have received.
Should I have a one hour or a 30 minute Reiki session?
What ever works best for you! I always say ask yourself. (you may be surprised that you know the answer) Sometimes you may need only 30 minutes and other times one hour. Their really is no formula!

How regularly do I need to have Reiki sessions?
It really depends what's going on. Reiki is great anytime you want to re-balance. If you are already in good health, regularly applied Reiki treatments (about once per month) enhance your ability to respond to unhealthy elements in your environment and help you to handle stress. Reiki is a great preventative medicine, promoting the harmonious distribution of energy.

No. Not at this time.
What is Therapeutic Coaching?
What is Therapeutic Coaching?
The Therapeutic Coaching program is taught at the Meta Institute in Edina MN and is the only program of its kind in the world. It is a 13 month, 400 hour program combining skills and techniques including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Humanistic Neuro-linguistic Programming(HNLP), Hypnosis, quantum physics, motivational counseling, modeling excellence, couples communication, learning styles, life cycle stages and more. Utilising these skills a therapeutic coach shows how our perceptions of life are formed in the unconscious/subconscious mind and how to "deconstruct" the negative perceptions by using NLP and HNLP to "reprogram" the neural pathways in the brain, thus overcoming the unproductive behaviors that are blocking the path to a happy, fulfilling life.
What is NLP?
Neuro-Linguistic Programming - technique used to work with the conscious and unconscious minds to teach the brain a new ways to behave. NLP improves our reactions to challenges in life.
Neuro: nervous system, including the brain. Neuro refers to how the body handles our experiences.
Linguistic: Related to language, refers to how symbols like words effect us eg. when a coach motivates a team s/he uses words that effect the nervous system to create motivation.
Programming: You can reprogram your nervous system to bring out successful thinking and behavior that goes way beyond what you could do without these methods.
What is HNLP?
Humanistic Neuro-Linguistic Psychology - a branch of NLP but broadens the scope of possibility
How the mind creates reality through language and behavior.
If we have a map of reality, that means we have an edge to that map. HNLP is about finding what is beyond that edge.
Humanistic: We are more than our bodies, we are more than our brains, we are part of an interconnected whole. We are all on the path to self actualization (whether we know it or not). This path leads back to you...back to oneness.
Linguistic: Language is the fundamental building block for creating material reality. Language points to the limitations we impose on ourselves in order to make meaning of the world and communicate that meaning to others.
Psychology: We are more then machines waiting to be programmed. The mind is not rooted in any one place.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring altered state of consciousness in which the critical faculty is bypassed (mind in the conscious mode) and acceptable selective thinking established.
This simply means that the reasoning, evaluating, judging part of your mind (conscious) is bypassed. While we wonder how this could possibly happen, we are subject to it all the time. The advertising industry is dedicated to bypassing our critical judgment all the time in order to influence our buying behavior. When you are driving and realise that you just got to point B without really knowing how - you were in a hypnotic state.

With the critical faculty bypassed, specific thoughts/suggestions can be lodged in the subconscious where they can propel the client toward a desired goal or change behavior in a positive, permanent way. Any such suggestions must be acceptable to the client, of course. They would have no effect otherwise.
What to expect in a Therapeutic Coaching session?
Your first session with Toni will comprise of a 30 minute educational and answer any questions you may have about Therapeutic Coaching. If you wish to continue, Toni will then do an assessment of your presented issue and what your goals are. Toni will then assist you in healing and releasing any obstacles to achieving your goals. You are always in control of process of change in every area of your life. The change process is dictated by your readiness to change. The coaching techniques used are very gentle and sometimes even a little wacky, making your change process very comfortable, fun and lasting.
How long is a typical therapeutic coaching session?
The first Therapeutic Coaching session usually takes longer then following sessions due to the initial educational and assessment. Toni allows a 2 - 3 hour window in her schedule.
A typical therapeutic coaching session may take 1-3 hours but varies from session to session. Toni only charges for the time you use. Toni will respect your time and budget constraints.
