Reiki with Michelle

Are you ready for the change that healing energy can bring? If so, reiki may be what you are looking for.

Reiki is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.

This modality is embraced by prestigious institutions such as Johns Hopkins Hospital and Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and over 800 hospitals in the US.

Reiki is one of several therapies based on the biofield, or a type of energy field that regulates everything from our cellular function to our nervous system.

How does a session happen?

Reiki energy is received by the client through a certified practitioner who has been attuned to the healing energy. During a Reiki treatment, the client remains fully clothed, resting peacefully on a massage table. The Reiki Practitioner places his/her hands lightly on or just above the client’s physical body, extending the Reiki energy into the client’s energy centers to remove blocks, congestion and to restore balance. The practitioner becomes a conduit of this divine energy.

The treatment feels like a calming radiance that flows through and around you. You may experience sensations of warmth, tingling, coolness. Reiki treats the whole body-mind-spirit creating many beneficial effects that include feelings of peace, security and well being.

Reiki is simple, natural and safe and all who experience a session will benefit from it.

Receiving a Reiki treatment will not interfere or replace traditional medical care and can enhance other medical treatments. Reiki complements all other forms of holistic healing.

Reiki treats:

stress reduction, stress-related aliments
depression, anxiety
emotional balancing, self-esteem, mental clarity
fatigue, problems sleeping
pain reduction or elimination, releasing tension in the body
maintaining general wellness
making or handling changes in your life
relationships (singles, couples, families)
trauma, grief
sexual/physical/emotional abuse
pre and post surgery (relaxation before surgery, reduce recovery time, and help with pain management)
help to reduce side affects of medications or treatments (including individuals with cancer)
living with chronic conditions
mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healing
improving immunity
individuals in hospice comfort care

The energy of Metta Reiki® builds on the energy of Usui Reiki and is an advanced form of Reiki for personal healing and the healing of clients with loving kindness and compassion flowing. It accesses all aspects and dimensions and heals on the deepest level. Metta Reiki® energetically connects us to the depths of Heaven and the core of the Earth and aligns the client so they are in the position to receive the energy in a most direct way. It works to open the central channel and the energy fields, allowing a deep connection with the emotional aspects of issues through all lifetimes that are ready to be healed.

SINGLE SESSION $99 per session

I can also offer distance reiki.

Please call/email me to confirm a day/date with me. Thanks.

Heartfelt Reviews

I received my first ever Metta Reiki® session from Michelle. I didn't know much about the Reiki philosophy, but I went in with an open mind. I have to say, a few weeks after my session, I am still feeling a sense of inner peace and tranquility. During my session, I felt an energy entering my body as Michelle touched my legs and arms. The most mind blowing part of the session occurred when I started to receive visits from my deceased family and friends. They came to me with messages of encouragement. When my session was completed, I asked Michelle if the crystals she used during the session were heated. She said no. Wow! I felt a distinct heat emitting from the crystals she had placed on my chest and abdomen area. I highly recommend treating yourself to an Metta®Reiki session with Michelle. R.M

I had my first Metta Reiki® session with Michelle and I am still floating!

I know that energy work can be a powerful experience. In this session I asked to remove some blocks (resistance) that are expressed as anger. I also hoped to heal a moderate but persistently painful area of my body. Entering the session, I felt a sense of calm settle over and within me and focused on the pure energy of children's laughter outside the room. At some point, I felt a distinct (and unusual) twist of pain below my shoulder, followed by a powerful sense of warm sunlight, as though a heat lamp had been turned on within the tissues, releasing the twist. Near the end of the session, I felt another surge of liquid warmth expand through my chest. That flowed through my arms, and out my fingertips. That energy also felt as though it surged through my heart, across my back and through my legs. I was surrounded by a sense of support and release, much the way I've felt when floating in a warm body of salt water. I left the table with a sense of well being, with no tension anywhere in my body, and with that supportive essence and balance intact.

The effects of the Reiki session I had with Michelle a few months ago continued for weeks. PM

Thd 2nd Metta Reiki® session was much deeper and vibrant; I am looking forward to enjoying its energy for some time! D.M.

I had a session before I got my wisdom teeth removed. I was very anxious and worried about the pain. And I actually experienced very little pain and did not use the drugs my doctor recommended as I did not need them after the surgery. My recovery went way better than expected. S.M.

Moving towards wellness with Michelle in 2027

Other unique ways to work with Michelle in 2027 in person or virtually

QiGong with Michelle

Gentle | Easy | Healing

First off, there are many different kinds/forms of Qigong as it is an ancient energetic movement system. Once you find the forms you like, stick with that energetic form from that master and practice those forms daily. Your body will love it more than hopping from here to there with different teachers and different energies.

See what happens with a commitment to one energy.

Back Care is a healing form of QiGong energy given to us through Chan Zhang, my master teacher. I am her student who she has trained in 4 different energetic forms and I am grateful for this spirit-filled transfer of information and technique.

Hundreds of Acupuncturists have been offering Back Care to their clients over the years thanks to Chan who worked at the formerly known East Coast Tai Sophia in Maryland for +25 years (now the Maryland University of Integrative Health).

A gentle 16 minute form practiced daily, Back Care will most definitely help you wake up in the morning, stretch your body and ease your back issues and boost your immune system.

Anyone can do Back Care, standing or seated or in the imagination as energy is everywhere...even over the internet!!

It is easy to learn and do so great if you are limited in. movement.

Back Care is healing and gentle exercise for the body.

It will help strengthen your back and body.

It will help increase blood flow and stretch your muscles thus boosting your immune system.

Back Care will open up the blockages in your body and create space for shifts of wellness.

It is a movement meditation so if you can't sit still to meditate, this is ideal.

Come take care of your back and whole body!

Testimonial

I began the practice of QiGong at Life Dance Loft about four years ago. I was strong but was surprised how my flexibility increased, without straining. After three sessions, I could balance and crouch without support (for the first time in years). I'm particularly fond of the Back Care form! Within a few minutes of starting its gentle movements, I release tension, balance physically, breathe more deeply, and am emotionally calmer. Whether I do it daily, weekly, or intermittently, Qi Gong restores my self-awareness and energy.

Michelle Dubreuil has been trained by Master Qigong Teacher Chan Zhang in Back Care, Dance of the Phoenix, Dance with Nature-Follow the Seasons, Morning Qigong and Qigong for Seniors and has over 300 hours of teaching time with Qigong.

Slow Flow Yoga for Forest Dwellers

Are you 60 and up and want a very slow flow yoga experience?

I offer a unique feminine perspective on aging and movement as a life long dancer and mover and learner of Yoga and Ayurvedic wisdom.

In my 60's I have experienced not one, but two frozen shoulders due to a depletion of estrogen which is at the root of many female challenges, various foot issues, back issues, bone loss... you name it...what age brings us.

The good news is that I now have some preventative solutions!

My style of yoga is slow and steady, stretching and flowy, still and restful. Not hectic nor over demanding of the body, mind and spirit.

That is not yoga.

Yoga is a state of being, actually.

Yoga is for all bodies.

Yoga is showing up for yourself and just being.

I include poetry, breathing techniques, kriya yoga techniques, chanting and the learning of the ancient sutra wisdom.

If this tempts you, email me for more info

If you would like to work with me, I offer virtual class 45 min to one hour

I also offer in person series classes in Columbia, Maryland at Nourishing Journey.

Keep your eye out for new series classes in 2027.
