Experience a Reiki session and recover your well being.
"Reiki" routranslated from Japanese means "Universal Life Energy"

Reiki is a safe, supportive practice that promotes relaxation intrinsic to self healing. It is a spiritual practice not affiliated with any specific religion. Reiki practitioners do not diagnose or "cure" medical conditions, nor do they prescribe medications. Rather, they create an environment in which to offer a supportive, energetic experience that complements any traditional medical treatment. In fact Reiki is offered by some hospitals in the Boston area to patients undergoing treatments for cancer.
During a Reiki session, the practitioner channels an energy flow through their hands as they lightly touch or hover over a recipient's fully-clothed body. The recipient's bio-field absorbs this subtle energy at the deepest vibrational level, bringing calm, balance, and a restorative relaxation that encourages the body's own ability to heal itself.

In the early 2000s, I began studying Reiki with John Harvey Gray (one of the first 22 Reiki Masters trained in the United States). I continued studies with his wife, Lourdes Gray, regularly treating family, friends, and even pets (both mine and others'). It's been a slow, gradual learning process, integrating discovery, understanding and insight. I completed my Master training during the winter of 2014.
Since then, I've developed a practice of daily self-Reiki and meditation. In January 2025, I decided to launch a professional Reiki practice to share peace, relaxation, hope, and healing and to do my part
to light a candle in the darkness.
Developed by Mikao Usui in the late 19th C, this energy practice supports the body's own healing.

Are you interested? Do you have questions? Curious about the process and whether it's right for you? I'm happy to meet with you via phone or video chat!

Sessions take place in my home studio. Enjoy peace, quiet, and a gentle touch that brings deep relaxation and often a renewed energy and pain relief.

The benefits of Reiki are cumulative. As part of a personal wellness plan, this option is cost effective and establishes a regular schedule for self care.

Just as Reiki delivers healing energy to humans, Reiki can help relieve pet anxiety and distress. As a complement to veterinarian care, energy work with animals is aimed at creating an energetically healing atmosphere.

Effective and practical if you are far away -- no matter the distance. I have offered Reiki to hospital patients and to clients at home in other states.

Gift certificates are available for both in-person and distant treatments. Call me to discuss your preferences.

"I had always wanted to try Reiki, knowing how much it has helped people. (Even hospitals, often skeptical, have instituted Reiki as a supplement for cancer treatment and other conditions).
So, when I learned that Kathy Madison is a trained Reiki master, I was happy. And even happier after the session. Kathy’s voice, her calm and gentle manner, her skill, and her concern for me during the session, created a calmness and relaxation in me that lasted.
The session, in our turbulent times,
was just what I needed. As I lay, fully clothed
on a massage table with my eyes closed, Kathy alternated between silence and soft voice and with brief periods of light touch. My response was a feeling of safety, deep peace and rejuvenation."
-- Joan Kimball, Lincoln
"I have never experienced Reiki before meeting Kathy. I had done some reading on it, and wanted to experience a session. Kathy is a warm and caring person and explained what the session would be like. Reiki is not massage- it is a more energy based system. At times during the session, I felt an incredible warmth in certain parts of my body, and also felt a certain energized buzzing while her hands were over me.
After the session, I felt both relaxed and energized at the same time. I also felt lighter, as if a great weight was lifted from me. I have continued to see Kathy and always feel refreshed after a session."

"Kathy's Reiki practice reflects her deeply intuitive spirit, knowledge and humanity. Her sessions welcome you into such a place of warmth and calm and peace."
-- Ellie Garber, Lincoln, MA, Artist's Rep
