As a Certified Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, Bethany is uniquely skilled in an ancient modality that is passed down through oral tradition.

“We are all transmitting energy all the time. We are energy beings experiencing a physical reality. In every moment, we choose how this spiritual energy flowing through us is used.

As a Reiki practitioner, I am not manipulating or moving this energy but creating an environment for the energy of the recipient to feel peace and safety to allow energy to flow freely where it has once been stagnant or pent up. When energy is flowing freely we are living in a state of harmony, and when we are in a state of harmony, acceleration of the body’s natural ability to heal occurs.”— Bethany Ellars
