Reiki

A new and exciting addition to our offerings, Reiki – Japanese for “universal life force energy” – is a meditative modality used to calm, center, and balance. It can be so difficult to give yourself permission to rest. We see Reiki as an invitation to relax, where the only task at hand is to lie quietly, accept the care and attention of the practitioner and - following their lead – allow yourself to be immersed in an act of nurturing.

Reiki is a Japanese energy balancing technique that has been in practice for over 2000 years. The practitioner transmits energy through their hands – touch is often used, but not required – to allow qi, or life force, to flow through the recipient’s body. Although Reiki isn’t part of the yogic system, it can enhance the benefits found through yoga and meditation and complements both western and eastern medicine.

The abstract nature and personalized attention found with Reiki means that every recipient will feel a unique and individualized effect. A feeling of flow and movement is common, and recipients are often treated to a sense of peace.

  • Bianca Hellenga is a certified Level 2 practitioner of QHHT – Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique as taught by the late Dolores Cannon, The Akashic Records, Soul Realignment®, Emotion-Code®, and facilitator of PSYCH-K®.

    Since childhood, Bianca has been able to see beyond the perceivable surface of life, and with an interest in bridging the physical and spiritual, Bianca started her journey of working with quantum energy healing modalities in 2017. This came about through the need to understand the patterns in her life, how they affected her sense of self, her ability to show up, and the labels she gave herself that were limiting the essence of her authentic self.

    The modalities Bianca offers weave a luminous path to understanding and releasing what holds you back, guiding you toward vibrant clarity and inner freedom.

    QHHT and Akashic Records act as cosmic maps, revealing the soul-level stories and patterns shaping your present. QHHT guides you directly on an inner journey through a hypnosis technique that resembles deep meditation. The Akashic Records are accessed by Bianca bringing this guidance to you. Soul Realignment gently realigns you with your essence, dissolving blockages and limiting beliefs. The Emotion-Code® delicately releases buried emotional knots, while PSYCH-K® rewrites subconscious programs for greater ease and empowerment.

    Her clients shared they feel immediately lighter and renewed after the sessions, ready to embark on their unique life journeys with an increased sense of empowerment and joy.
