Glucose is the energy that humans were designed to run on. We source our glucose from the digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. The body uses insulin to keep our blood glucose in a narrow range, allowing the brain to function at its best. If insulin levels are too high, due to chronic excess sugar and carbohydrate consumption, this keeps sugar in our cells and starves the brain of fuel, leading the brain to want more sugar.

I offer standalone Reiki treatments because many of my patients love and respond enthusiastically to its inclusion in my practice. They report its benefits to include deep relaxation, the release of chronic stress and tension and consequent inflammation, better sleep, greater clarity, opening to universal life energy, pain mitigation and healing. Often, Reiki healing can be experienced as a pleasant warmth/heat and/or tingling sensation through the body.
