Intrinsic Wisdom Reiki Practice

Energy Practitioner

My sessions are a unique, interactive blend of Reiki, Guided Imagery, Inner Child Healing, and Artistic - Spiritual Communication. As the facilitator of the healing, each session is individualized based on the persons intention for the energy healing session.

Benefits range from deep relaxation to a reduction of chronic medical and/or emotional health concerns. Toxins are released at a deep cellular level that have created energetic blocks and holding patterns, often keeping a person stuck and contributing to dis-ease in the body. Energy healing complements rather than substitutes for traditional methods.

Testimonials

Joanne has often been described as "having the Soul of an Artist."

"Joanne has a gift unlike any other energy healer I have experienced. If you truly wish to get on with your life and get whatever is holding you back, be it pain or emotional set backs, then Joanne is the one. With your permission she will take you right to the source of 'why' your complaint is happening and help you find the route to heal your life. She may even help you solve a problem you had no prior knowledge of which was holding you back from success in your life. I highly recommend Joanne for everyone." - Susan

"Working with Joanne is profound. She came to me to learn the basic healing method of Reiki and quickly opened to more advanced work. She is on her way to bringing her clients to a new level of understanding themselves and healing through her work." Janice McNamara, RN, BSN, Reiki Master, and owner of Next Step Holistic, Pittsford, NY.

"Joanne's unique combination of talents and background make her work invaluable in reaching deep issues lodged within the body. She has helped me to release things which therapy would never get at because I didn't even know they were still issues for me! She has a very kind, intuitive way of working and is able to facilitate just what I need at every visit." - - Barb

"Joanne's empathetic and caring approach to her practice has helped my healing process in a multidimensional way. The energy work she has shared with me has alleviated barriers to my overall health and engaged my own abilities for healing as well." - Nancy

"The depth of my grieving had led me to a very dark place – I had become bitter, angry & uptight over their deaths and decided to try Intrinsic Wisdom to heal my mind, body and soul which had become lifeless, cold and empty. My old bad energy was replaced with new good energy and my cold body organs opened up to the warmth of your hands as you passed your energy over my body – my heart which was closed because of the loss, opened and was revived. I felt a peace, calm, was more aware of nature, slept better – I had become more aware of what life really is and how great it is to be alive & believe again." - Wendy

"Joanne has developed her own way to connect with her clients. She does Reiki, yet shares what she feels about your energy field, and invites you to share where you struggle in life. The combination of her healing touch and her words is very healing and uplifting... and you may find yourself touching on the joy you always knew was there but could not touch!" Luc Watelet, Ph.D., R.Y.T., and Director of the Yoga and Healing Sanctuary.

What is Reiki?

In Japanese: Rei = Spirit and Ki = Life Force Energy

Reiki is an ancient art of natural healing, rediscovered in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui over one hundred years ago. It is a gentle but powerful ‘hands-on’ technique which brings wholeness to both recipient and practitioner. Reiki restores the natural balance of the body, providing deep relaxation and bringing a sense of peace and wellbeing. It is called Universal Life Energy because it draws upon the healing energy of the universe rather than the energy of the practitioner. Reiki heals the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies. It complements the healing properties of all modalities including orthodox medicine, natural therapies such as herbs, aromatherapy and homoeopathy, massage, psychotherapy and others and can be given in conjunction with any other therapy or treatment. Reiki is not intrusive since the energy will pass through clothing, bandages, plaster casts or braces and the recipient remains clothed. The technique of Reiki can be used on animals, plants, buildings, cars, people and places - in fact Reiki can be used in any situation desired. To benefit from Reiki a recipient and practitioner need only be open and willing to receive the energy and to channel it.

What Does Reiki Involve?

Reiki is a simple, non-intrusive, hands-on technique of natural healing. Clients remain fully clothed and can receive a Reiki treatment lying down or sitting in a chair. Most clients find lying down to be the most comfortable and relaxing. Sessions range from 30 - 90 minutes in length.

Benefit’s of a Reiki Session?

Reiki is very individualized based on client needs and openness to receiving the healing energy. Some of the possible benefits are:

o Deep level of relaxation
o Increased energy level
o Improve immune function
o Reduce symptoms of chronic illness and other medical concerns
o Reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression and other mental health concerns

"Each of us has the potential of being given a gift by the divine, which results in the body and soul becoming unified ... a great many people will experience the blessings of the divine ... Through it, the human being will first be made healthy, and then peace of mind and joy in life will be increased." Dr Mikao Usui

"Our physical bodies exist within a larger "body", a human energy field or aura, which is the vehicle through which we create our experiences of reality, including health and illness. It is through this energy field that we have the power to heal ourselves. This energy body - only recently verified by scientists, is the starting point of all illness".
Barbara Ann Brennan "Hands of Light"
