Reiki at Revive is provided by Electra Frye, a Master Reiki Energy Therapist
Electra worked as the office manager in a counseling office for seven years when she decided to pursue healing with Reiki Energy Therapy. She came to us at Revive because she desired to offer her clients a more holistic approach and help current therapy clients access a deeper level of healing.

Elektra Frye, Certified Reiki Energy Therapist at REVIVE
Reiki is a non-invasive energy therapy that promotes healing on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. It’s a very effective way to reduce stress and calm the mind by creating a state of deep relaxation and peace and has been shown to aid in healing from chronic diseases and mental health disorders.
What does Reiki mean and what’s all this about energy?
The term “reiki” comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” which means vital life force energy that flows through all living things. It’s based on an Eastern medicine belief that living beings have energy fields that support their health and vitality.
Energy blocks impede the flow of energy causing not only health problems but also negative life circumstances, according to belief. Practitioners focus on sensing energy blocks and moving the energy for the greatest good of the client.
What does Reiki do?
Research has indicated that reiki promotes relaxation, stress reduction and symptom relief, and improves overall health and well-being.
Probably the most well-documented benefits revolve around the relaxation response, which practitioners say invokes the body’s natural healing process. In addition, researchers have found evidence that it can significantly improve anxiety and depression symptoms as well as pain and sleep quality. Studies have also shown significant improvement in groups receiving “real” reiki over “sham” reiki.

Are there any risks or side effects?
Multiple studies report no adverse effects of reiki likely because it’s a noninvasive treatment. Practitioners note clients usually report feeling relaxed after a session while others may feel more energized. Depending on the nature of the problem, some clients may feel more emotional or have intense feelings arise in the days or weeks following a session. This is why, according to Electra, it’s important that therapy and reiki go hand-in-hand.
It’s also essential to understand that reiki is meant to serve as a complement – not a replacement – to the medical care a client receives. It can increase the efficacy of other types of healing and even serve as a form of preventative medicine.
What can I expect during a session?
During a session, the practitioner will place their hands over specific points of a client’s body in order to facilitate an energy release and aid the client’s ability to heal. The healing energy travels into and around the client’s body, promoting a release of negative thoughts and emotions, clearing out any toxins in the body, and increasing the flow of oxygen in order to help damaged tissues heal quicker.
You can expect to be in a quiet, dimly lit room, lying face-up on a massage table, and fully clothed throughout the duration of the session. While the practitioner will be near you throughout the session, she will not apply pressure, massage, or manipulate the body in any way.
