When Donnabelle invited me to have a Reiki session, I accepted out of curiosity, as well as the desire to spend time in her studio. I am not a spiritual person, nor am I someone to whom “self care” comes naturally. However, as soon as I lay on her table, and felt the safety, kindness, and generosity of her hands, I immediately relaxed into this therapy. The hour I spent with her could have been 5 minutes or the entire day. I have been experiencing some pain in my shoulders from overuse, and I felt this pain soften, and gradually disappear. I may have fallen asleep, or somehow left my ordinary state of consciousness. I do know that, after checking my tracker, my normally low heart rate dropped to 45! After a great night of sleep, I continue to feel the benefit the following day. Donnabelle’s studio is a beautiful place, filled with her art, in a landmark industrial building. I highly recommend her reiki practice to explore deep relaxation, healing, and even transcendence. – S.R.
