Meet Our Practitioner
Denise Paez
I am a trained Usui/Holy Fire II Reiki practitioner specializing in working with both humans and pets.
Rooted in deep compassion and understanding, my approach is built on genuine empathy. I have always been a natural healer; one who people always come to for help. I'll work along side of you as we gently clear the path to your truest self. We will discuss your goals and individualized needs.
As a loving pet mom to a senior dog and cat, I recognize how vital comfort and well-being are for your furry companions. I have always been passionate about animals ever since I was a little girl; wanting to be able to find a way to work with them and have always had a special bond with animals as they are drawn to my calm nature. Being able to provide calmness, healing, and comfort to them through Reiki, I am committed to offering a relaxing, soothing presence for your furry friends, and all animals.
My own Journey:
It's a powerful journey when your own healing path leads you to want to guide others.
There was a time when a heavy stillness settled within me. My own inner landscape felt murky, self-doubt casting long shadows and my spirit feeling…fragmented. Like pieces of me were scattered and lost, and I struggled with social anxiety, and worried about what others thought of me. I knew, deep down, that I needed to untangle these knots, to excavate the buried parts of myself and nurture them back to life.
Self-esteem felt like a distant shore I couldn't quite reach. Then, the universe, led me to my Reiki Master, Kayla. Her presence was soothing, her energy a warm light that seemed to see through my walls, but recognizing my gift. Through her guidance and the gentle flow of Reiki, something shifted. With each session, I felt a little lighter, a little more connected to the core of who I was. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of wholeness. That profound journey back to myself, ignited a spark within me. Witnessing the power of Reiki to heal and restore, to bring that sense of inner peace and wholeness, I knew I had to share it. The desire to help others navigate their own internal landscapes, to guide them in releasing their blockages and rediscovering their own inherent wholeness, became a calling. It wasn't just about learning a technique; it was about paying forward the gift of healing I had received, about empowering others to find their own light, just as my Reiki Master had helped me find mine.

Healing for the Mind, Body & Spirit for Individuals and Pets
What is Reiki
Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality that preserves health and fights disease by using the energy systems of the body. It is a form of alternative therapy that involves transfer of energy from the practitioner to the client, promoting relaxation and healing. The name "Reiki" is comprised of two words - "Rei" which means "Universal" or "Spiritually Guided," and "Ki" which means "Life Force Energy." To receive Reiki is to receive a gentle transference of universal life force energy.
It is based on the belief that a universal life force energy flows through all living things, and that this energy can be harnessed to support physical and emotional well-being.
Many people find reiki to be a calming and a restorative experience, allowing the client to enter into a deep, meditative state without any effort
What to expect during a session:
Throughout the session, my goal is to remove any energetic blocks that may be present. I will have you lay down, fully clothed while I gently place my hands on or near you. The touch is light and non-invasive. I may also use meditative type music and percussion instruments during your Reiki session to help balance and relax you.
Reiki sessions can be in-person or remote. Please see Service Page for more.
Important Considerations:
Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Care: Reiki is a complementary therapy and should not replace professional diagnosis and treatment.

Pet Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing modality adapted from the traditional Japanese practice of Reiki for humans. It involves channeling universal life force energy through my hands to an animal to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support the animal's natural healing processes.
Reiki practitioners believe that a universal energy flows through all living things. We act as a conduit to direct this energy.
Relaxation and Stress Reduction: This is often cited as the primary benefit. The calm energy can help anxious, fearful, or stressed pets to relax. This can be helpful in various situations, such as vet visits, new environments, or the introduction of a new family member.
Support for Healing: By promoting deep relaxation, Reiki is thought to allow the animal's body to function more optimally, potentially speeding up recovery from illness, injury, or surgery. It's used as a complementary therapy alongside traditional veterinary care.
Emotional Well-being: Reiki can help pets cope with past trauma, grief, or behavioral issues stemming from anxiety or stress.
Strengthening the Bond: Many owners find that Reiki sessions deepen their connection with their pets.
Non-Invasive: Reiki doesn't involve any physical manipulation, medication, or restraint. I will place my hands gently on or near the animal's body.
How it works: Animals are often very receptive to energy work. During a session, the pet may move around to indicate where they want the energy, or they may simply relax and even fall asleep. I will focus on the animal's energy centers (chakras) to promote balance.
Individual Responses Vary: Just like with humans, pets may respond differently to Reiki. Some may show immediate signs of relaxation, while others may take more time to adjust. Ultimately, pet Reiki offers a gentle way to support your animal companion's physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Important Considerations:
Not a Substitute for Veterinary Care: Reiki is a complementary therapy and should not replace professional veterinary diagnosis and treatment.
