Reiki With Marie

Marie is amazing! She is the best Reiki Master in the Philadelphia area. Her prices are the lowest of anyone but her Reiki sessions are anything but cheap. I cannot recommend her more!

I love the atmosphere at Wellness on Park. Marie was lovely. The reiki was an hour long and so relaxing. I’m new to energy work and have tried a few other types. I’m sure reiki is now my favorite. Marie knows her stuff. She’s been doing this for 27 years. She teaches reiki and is very encouraging, telling me anyone can learn and ultimately help themselves.
I will be back and I hope to be a student soon too.
I recommend a visit to Marie to relax and feel fantastic. You have to try it.

I had never tried reiki before I met Marie. She did an excellent job explaining both the scientific and more ethereal sides of the practice, and I decided to try a first session, just to see how I felt.
I arrived at her office a few minutes ahead of my appointment and filled out the necessary paperwork. The waiting room has plush furniture, smells beautiful and has soft lighting. When it was time to begin, I entered the room with a table (similar to a massage table.) The natural light pouring through the windows, calming music and lovely and minmalistic décor all added to the feeling of peace I felt immediately. I laid face up, got comfortable and the session began.
Since we had talked about what to expect, I felt prepared for the hands held over points of my body (not touching), and some of what was said (some statements, some questions that are a brief conversation between her and I). But I was not prepared for the intense feelings I experienced — like glowing light radiating from my core, a soft, warm blanket enveloping my body, the feeling of my breath in my chest and my heart beat and blood in my veins more significant — both physically and mentally.
The entire experience lasted about 90 minutes, but it felt more like 30 – 40. I was never unconscious, but felt close to a dream-​like state for much of the session. Marie’s voice was soothing and she herself exudes a bright energy that is both calming and invigorating.
I honestly can say that the first session has already helped me. I feel more centered, more in tune with my body, more aware of the way my mind is working and how I am connected to my environment. These things are hard to quantify (I feel 60% more aware!) but I can tell you the feeling is like none other.
Similar to self care routines of exercise, massage and preventive doctor visits, I will be incorporating reiki into my routine. I live in Philadelphia, but will gladly make the trip to Swarthmore to visit Marie again soon. If you are considering reiki, this would be a perfect first experience.
