What is Usui Reiki?
Reiki therapy encompasses a range of approaches, all rooted in supporting balance within the body’s natural energy system. Usui Reiki is one of these approaches, and it is the form of Reiki practiced at Nervana Spine Studio.
Usui Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive practice that does not involve force, manipulation, or physical adjustment. Instead, it works through light touch or hands placed near the body to support the nervous system, encourage deep relaxation, and assist the body’s natural healing processes.
While the experience may feel subtle, Usui Reiki is grounded in a long-standing tradition passed down through lineage from its founder, Mikao Usui. Rather than directing or forcing change, Reiki works with the body’s innate intelligence, allowing balance, regulation, and healing to emerge organically.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, holistic healing practice that supports relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional balance. Originating in Japan, Reiki was developed by Mikao Usui and is passed from teacher to student through a respected lineage.
​
The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words:
Rei, meaning universal or spiritual wisdom, and Ki, meaning life force energy.
Reiki works by supporting the natural flow of energy within the body, helping to restore balance in the mind, body, and spirit.
​
Reiki therapy is often used to support anxiety relief, deep relaxation, and overall well-being. It promotes healing on both physical and emotional levels, creating a feeling of balance and harmony within the body. Many people experience feelings of peace, calm, hope, and security during and after a session.
​
Reiki does not force healing. Instead, it assists the body’s natural healing process, supporting the nervous system and enhancing overall quality of life. Each session meets the individual exactly where they are, allowing the body to receive what it needs most in that moment.

Usui Reiki & Lineage
Dr. Liz is proficient in Usui Reiki, honoring the traditional teachings and lineage passed down from Mikao Usui through generations of Reiki Masters. Lineage is deeply important to me, as it reflects the integrity, intention, and energetic transmission of the practice.
​
Each Reiki session is offered with presence, compassion, and respect for this tradition, creating a safe and supportive space for relaxation, balance, and healing to unfold naturally.

Reiki & NetworkSpinal Chiropractic
Reiki works in a gentle yet powerful way to support the body’s ability to regulate, heal, and adapt. When combined with NetworkSpinal Chiropractic, Reiki can help amplify the effects and outcomes of care by supporting the nervous system in a calm, receptive state.
​
NetworkSpinal Chiropractic focuses on increasing spinal and nervous system awareness, helping the body move out of long-held stress patterns and into greater organization and ease. Reiki complements this process by encouraging deep relaxation, reducing energetic and emotional tension, and fostering a sense of safety within the body.
​
Together, these practices create an environment where the nervous system can integrate change more efficiently. Many people find that combining Reiki with NetworkSpinal care supports deeper relaxation, smoother integration of spinal shifts, and a greater sense of balance, clarity, and embodiment.
​
By addressing both the energetic and neurological aspects of well-being, Reiki and NetworkSpinal Chiropractic work synergistically to support resilience, self-awareness, and long-term vitality.
I am deeply grateful for the guidance of my Reiki Master, through whom I was trained in the Usui Reiki tradition. This practice is offered with respect for the lineage and teachings that made it possible. To learn even more about this tradition and the work of my teacher, visit yoreilife.com.
