Wild at heart.
We are not separate from nature. We are nature.
But somewhere in the noise and pace of modern life, it can be easy to forget our relationship with the living world—and sometimes with ourselves.
Opus Naturae means “work of nature.” It is a space for remembering that we are not separate from the natural world, but part of it. Through Reiki, herbalism, stories, and our relationship with the Earth and cosmos, we explore the many ways we might return to that knowing.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice. The word Reiki translates to “universal life-force energy”.
During a session, a practitioner works with the body's subtle energy to support relaxation and help things move back toward balance. It's gentle — there's no manipulation, no diagnosis, nothing to figure out or fix. You simply rest, and the energy does what it knows how to do.
Some people feel warmth, a kind of lightness, or a sense of settling. Some see colors, images or tingling in areas of the body. Others notice very little in the moment and feel the effects afterward, in better sleep or a quieter mind. There's no right way to experience it.
Reiki is a complementary practice and is not a substitute for medical or mental-health care. It's a space to slow down, to listen to your body, and to receive — nothing more is required of you than that.
Reiki works with life-force energy and this energy isn't bound by physical location. What many traditions call ki, chi, or prana. Cultures across Asia have worked with this understanding for thousands of years, and many Indigenous traditions around the world hold their own related understandings of energy and connection, developed within their own specific contexts and lineages.
Western science hasn't caught up to a full explanation of energy healing, but some people find an interesting parallel in quantum entanglement. The idea that two particles can remain connected even across large distances. I share it because some clients find it a useful bridge for thinking about connection beyond physical space. I'd encourage you to look into this yourself if you're curious, and ultimately, whether this resonates with you is something only you can decide.
What I can speak to more confidently is why distance Reiki matters to me in practice. I offer it because I want Reiki to be accessible. To people with mobility or accessibility needs that make in-person sessions difficult, to people managing an illness, and to anyone who simply feels more at ease receiving care in their own space rather than with hands-on touch. There's no commute, you can get as comfortable as you like, and it means someone anywhere in the world can receive a session, from a practitioner they feel genuinely drawn to rather than only whoever happens to be nearby.
There's not much to do. Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed, and get comfortable. Lying down usually works best, however, you can certainly be seated if you prefer. I do request that you be as still for the session as you are able. At the beginning of your session, we’ll go over any intentions or areas of focus. I set a primary intention at the beginning of each session that you will receive, learn and experience whatever you need most in that moment. As a note, I would check your internet connection and that you are able to meet at the time scheduled on Zoom via the link that is provided.
You'll rest while I hold space and work with your energy for the length of the session. Some people fall asleep, some feel warmth or tingling, some notice very little at all in the moment. Some see colors, images or emotions may surface. However it shows up for you is exactly right. We will have a discussion at the beginning of your session but typically there is no conversation during the actual reiki session. We’ll have a short review afterwards to discuss anything that may have come up during your session.
You may feel calm, tired, energized, or something in between. Everyone responds differently. Self-care is encouraged after your session. Drinking water and giving yourself a little unhurried time afterward can help. Reiki continues to work after the session. Pay attention to dreams, emotions surfacing, relief or increased discomfort for up to 72 hours after your session. If anything comes up after your session — a question, a feeling, anything at all — I'm always happy to hear from you.
While some experience significant effects after one session, most do not. Think of Reiki sessions as cumulative just as in other therapies or healing modalities. Reiki works to promote your body's natural ability to heal and this is typically a process that may take a period of time.
As far as frequency, I encourage you to trust your own intuition on how often you feel this is needed. Although, I do not recommend more than once a week as reiki takes time to work through the body and integrate.

Sometimes remembering begins simply—
with quiet,
with breath,
with land beneath our feet,
and enough stillness to hear ourselves again.
