NEWS FOR YOUR BODY
Recently attended a Reiki group workshop that's shifted how I'm approaching in-person sessions.
The training focused on working with the physical body and light touch—section by section, system by system. Silently tuning into what each area is holding, then gently repairing and restoring from that grounded place. It's methodical. Embodied. It's more focused about dropping into the specific places your body has been compensating, bracing, or holding tension you didn't even know was there. And it's SILENT. This method was part of my certification and training years ago, the workshop brought me back to basics.
Here's what this means for studio sessions:
I'm now offering two approaches, select ahead of time or if you are unsure we'll decide together which one fits what you need that day. Both are 40-45 min duration.
Option 1: Intuitive Sessions (what I've been doing)
This is the work where we reflect on the body's energy centers/Chakras and am reflecting on your energy abundance or areas of need, channeling colors and metaphors that correspond to what's present for you. We might talk about your unique gifts, how you show up in the world, what's happening in your communication or heart space, where your energy is going (self vs. relationships), what's grounding you or what's missing. We release what is spent or stuck, let go of what no longer serves and re-set in grounded meditation.
It's expansive. Interpretive. Often what comes through are images, symbols, or insights that land where you need them or open reflection. People leave these sessions with clarity about patterns they've been running or shifts they need to make.
Option 2: Physical Body Work (what I'm adding to the roster)
This is slower. More contained. I work through your physical body section by section—head, neck, shoulders, organs, limbs—tuning into what each area is holding and supporting the release without words. I'm silent. You're not processing metaphors or interpreting symbols, just receiving restoration where your body has been quietly managing stress, tension, or unprocessed emotion.
People leave these sessions feeling lighter, supported, as if they "fully" exhaled. Like their body remembers rest.
Both start with a grounding meditation. That part doesn't change. We root first, then we work. We revisit grounding at each conclusion too.
Which one should you choose?
If you need clarity, insight, or you're working through a decision or transition—intuitive sessions.
If you're physically exhausted, holding tension you can't release, or you want to ask your body to stop bracing—physical body work.
If you're not sure, we'll talk before the session and I'll help you figure it out. 🙂
A note on East/West Restore in May:
These monthly offerings keep showing up because people keep asking.🥰 It's $22, conveniently online, and it's 90 minutes where you don't have to perform, manage, or make decisions. You just show up, follow the prompts, and let your nervous system reset. Smile & Aaahhhhh
If you've never done it and you're curious, the sessions on May 7th or 13th are a good time to try. If you've done it before, come back. Consistency matters more than intensity when it comes to this work.
Payment via Venmo (Theresa-Trelstad) or PayPal. I'll send the Google Meet link once you're registered.🗓️
Studio sessions are booking into June now. If you want to try the new physical body work or continue with intuitive sessions, let's get you on the calendar. In-person in NW Portland or online—both work.
Let me know if you have questions about any of this. Otherwise, I'll see you on the mat (or the table).
