Hello there! I’m Amy Moore, and I practice Jikiden Reiki - one of only 30,000 practitioners worldwide. Born in the States, I moved to Canada when I was 20. As one of 12 kids - the 11th, to be specific - things were pretty chaotic for me. I was also the sick kid, which led me on a lifelong journey of seeking the truth in every aspect of life.

In 1998, a car accident broke my back, and I was on medication for the resulting pain for 13 years. Until 2012, that is - when my doctor told me that my liver, kidneys, and thyroid were all in failure. That’s when I decided to take matters into my own hands and worked hard to heal myself. I tried every healing tool I could find, and eventually discovered the power of energy work. That’s why I became a Jikiden Reiki Practitioner.

Reiki is a form of energy healing that works with Ki energy - which you might know as Chi, Grace, Prana, or Source energy. As a practitioner, I work with the Universe to transfer that energy to whatever area of your life needs a little healing. Reiki is incredibly versatile and can help with everything from stress and anxiety to physical illnesses.

So, if you’re looking to become calmer, happier, and healthier, give Reiki a try. It might just change your life, like it did mine.
