Registered Nurse - Reiki Practitioner - Wellness Counsellor
Ashley is a Registered Nurse with over 15 years of nursing experiencing as well as a Level 2 Reiki Practitioner. Having worked in diverse settings of health, her experience includes working in Palliative Care, Diabetes Teaching and Management, Medical Nursing, Clinical Educator / Resource Nursing, Primary Care Nursing and more recently specialties in Mental Health Nursing. Ashley currently works part time with the University of Prince Edward Island as a Clinical Nursing Instructor to 1st Year and 3rd Year Nursing Students.
Ashley believes a Holistic philosophy maintains that an individual is comprised of mind-body-spirit. These components must be integrated as one in order for the person to be well. Thus, the "whole" person must be assessed and treated when there is a health problem.
You have likely noticed that when something is troubling you mentally or emotionally, you actually begin to manifest symptoms physically. Your heart starts racing, you may sweat more than usual, you have a hard time sleeping because you keep thinking about the problem – and you begin to feel lethargic and fatigued. This is and example of when the mind-body-spirit are out of balance.
However, when your mind is at peace, you are more likely to be happier, kinder, and more grateful, because you’re not so embroiled from within. Physically, you are relaxed and ready to take on whatever life throws your way. Through the healing modality of Reiki, Ashley aims to assist individuals in attaining a greater balance of mind-body-spirit connection .
Reiki
What is Reiki
Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.
Reiki was founded in Japan by Mikao Usui in the early 20th Century. Usui was a scholar who studied Buddhism in a Zen monastery where he learnt Sanskrit, and began translating the ancient Sutra's. He found the written knowledge of Reiki but did not know how to activate it. He understood this was an ancient healing art and he was guided to pilgrimage to the mountains for 21 days. During this time he fasted and meditated. On the final morning before dawn, he saw a bright light racing towards him. At first, he wanted to runaway but instead he realized it was a divine gift he was about to receive. He stood firm and the divine light hit him in his third eye. He was given symbols and visions of healing and all the information to activate Reiki healing in himself and others. This was his life work-a remembering of the ancient art of hands on healing. Usui decided to call this energy Reiki which is Japanese for 'Universal life - force energy"
How does Reiki work
Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between you and the source of the universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to you.
During a session, you’ll lie on a massage table fully clothed, as your reiki practitioner gently places their hands, palms down, on or just above your body in specific energy locations.
The length of time that the practitioner leaves their hands in each position is determined by the flow of energy through their hands at each location.
Reiki differs from other touch therapies in that there is no pressure, massage or manipulation involved.
You may experience the energy in the form of sensations like heat, tingling or pulsing where the Reiki practitioner has placed their hands. Sometimes, people feel sensations moving throughout the body, while other people do not perceive any change at all. Most people feel very relaxed and peaceful during reiki treatment, and many fall asleep during the process
