Reiki: A Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

As a health care provider myself rigorously trained in the hard sciences, I have a tendancy toward skepticism about things that cannot be explained by biochemistry. Yet Reiki truly works for me beyond explanation. I have had the privilege of experiencing Reiki for several sports injuries and have gained not only direct healing but a much needed sense of peacefulness that has allowed me to better tolerate the healing process my body has required. Shawn's expertise as a Physical Therapist and Reiki Master makes for a perfect combination in Reiki, and she harmonizes these talents with her caring, joyful nature. I highly recommend Reiki with Shawn McClain!

I am very fortunate to have Reiki Master Shawn McClain work on me several times a week. I can feel the energy coming from her wonderful hands. I always feel stronger and healthier after an hour of her doing very significant, healing, wonderful work.

My first experience with Reiki was when Shawn was treating me in physical therapy for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. If you havent heard, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is diagnosed by doctors after testing you for nearly every disease in the book. When all the tests come back negative, they tell you that the bad news is... you have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and the good news is... you can't die from it. Oh, but wait... theres more bad news. There are few known treatments that actually help. Although you cannot die from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, you feel like you might and you wouldnt wish it on your worst enemy. After the hopelessness of limited available treatments set in, I decided to explore alternative therapies like yoga. I remember the day I met Shawn, having suffered with the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome for over two years I was weak and weary and practically in tears explaining my ordeal. She was understanding and compassionate and asked if she could do an "energy balancing" treatment on me. Truly, I was open to just about anything at that point. I remember, as I lied comfortably on the table, how wonderful and soothing the heat from her hands felt and it was the begining of the end of my chronic fatigue. I contiued to receive Reiki and began to do exercises to improve my strength. It was less than three months since first recieving Reiki that I got my full energy back. Although the experience of having CFS was painful, the treatment and recovery through the help of Reiki was enlightening. I understand so much more about myself and how it makes sense that we are only given a limited supply of energy in life. Its been over two years since my first healing experience with Reiki and it has helped me with shoulder injuries, car accidents, and just the stresses of life. I highly recommend it for anyone who would like to improve how they feel, its a wonderful gift to give yourself.
