Ancient Wisdom for a Modern World

This was my first exposure to Reiki, and I’m so glad I found Mary Lee. Her warm personality instantly made me comfortable and the session was extremely enjoyable and relaxing. I’m sure everyone will experience reiki differently, but I left refreshed with a renewed sense of peace and wellbeing. I look forward to incorporating reiki from Mary Lee into my self-​maintenance regimen.

I had my first session with Mary Lee from River City Reiki yesterday and really felt a need to write a review in support of her. I was warmly welcomed and was instantly at ease and comfortable. Mary Lee answered all my questions (I had quite a few) in a kind and helpful manner without making me feel ignorant or silly. I found her to be quite intuitive during my session. With very little information about me she could ‘tell’ what I needed. I left feeling balanced and calm. Today I still feel calm but also have more energy then I have had in a long time (with no coffee!). I cannot wait for my next session.

I had my first reiki session, ever, just recently. The session exceeded my expectations. I knew reiki was an art of energy, but I wasn’t really sure how it would benefit me, other than relaxation. Not only was it relaxation at its best (I drifted in and out of consciousness the whole time), I could actually feel the energy in some of the areas she was concentrating. It’s hard to describe a sensation like that — Mary said, «how do you describe the color blue to a blind person?» — but I felt it, and even heard it in my left ear as she was working on my jaw. I have read that reiki has healing properties, and hope to continue working with Mary as she works on my TMJ dysfunction.

Some things in life cannot be explained. While I’m sure that someone can explain the benefits of Reiki better than me, I can certainly speak for its results. Even though I’m a little biased since Reiki Master Mary Lee is my Mother, I cannot speak highly enough about the work that she’s done for me, even from afar.
When I first began practicing massage, I went from doing a couple of massages a week to four or five a day. Needless to say, the symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome hit hard. On top of that, I damaged the muscles and ligaments around the joint of my right thumb; on a good day, I could straighten my thumb past a 90 degree angle, on most days that’s as good as it was going to get. Doctors told me my thumb was permanently damaged.
I told my Mom about my issues and she went to work. It took some time (let’s give her some credit here, she was in Charleston, SC at the time!), but after a while my hand was 100% back to normal.
