How many sessions do you recommend for a person?
This is determined on an individual basis. Some clients come once a week for maintenance. Other clients come when they need to. Still other clients are unraveling patterns of Chronic pain issues so they choose to come twice a week.. It's important to understand that healing a chronic illness can result in a stage called Physical Chemicalization, when the client experiences the symptoms of the illness more intensely than ever before. The symptoms are a good sign of the final release of the toxins and it may be necessary to have additional treatments to rapidly release the core toxins of the illness. They have come to the surface, and need to be released.

You can do Reiki on animals too, how does that work?
Animal's bodies are molecularly the same as human bodies. Reiki heals their mental activity, physical bodies, and emotional states. Animals typically relax into the soothing quality of Reiki almost immediately. They love the calming effect of Reiki as much as we do. I place my hands on the animal's body and spend more time in places that the animal is experiencing problems.

What if someone is skeptical, can it still work?
Yes. In fact I was skeptical the first time I experienced Reiki. Then I felt very tangible physical effects occurring in my body, mind, and spirit. I felt deep relaxation, tingling sensations, a slowing of my mind-racing, heat, release of pain, and clarity. After the hour, I stepped away no longer a skeptic. Some things you simply must experience in order to truly know.

How long have you worked at Mountain's Edge?
Since August of 2000.

What do you like about Mountain's Edge Fitness Center?
The staff and members are friendly, funny, and social yet respectful when you need time to yourself too. There is not the typical grunting, groaning, weight dropping, macho annoyingness to this gym as you find in other gyms. There is a Day Care, allowing mothers time to work out while the kids are having fun. The staff is not only talented but very interested in helping all the members maintain fitness and health. There is a sense of community, genuine relations, 'a spot' around when you need one, and member appreciation parties each year.
