Reiki Sessions

Nicol is a reiki master who completed her training and attunement with renowned reiki master Kelsey J. Patel. After having experienced the profound healing effects of reiki over the past decade, I offer remote or in-person sessions, as well as reiki I and II trainings on O’ahu.

  • Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing and a life-tool for people of all ages and backgrounds to promote healing on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. “Rei” means God’s Wisdom or Higher Power, while “Ki” means Life Force Energy.

  • Grounding

    Deep relaxation

    Emotional healing

    Reduced physical pain

    Lower anxiety levels

    Improved mood

    Better sleep

  • Nicol is a lifelong intuitive and reiki master certified under renowned reiki master and meditation teacher Kelsey J. Patel. Nicol first began receiving reiki in high school after suffering from debilitating anxiety and panic attacks, and she later found healing with reiki in her early 20’s following chronic ovarian cysts, fibrocystic breast disease, hormone imbalance, burnout, and other mental and physical health issues. After experiencing profound healing from reiki and other forms of alternative therapy first hand, Nicol became inspired to facilitate this healing and help others become healed, activated, and empowered in their own lives. Nicol’s deepest desire is that each soul mate client transcends their deepest wounds and traumas, activates the dormant power within them, and goes forth living a life of health, happiness, abundance, and fulfillment.

  • Nicol currently offers 1 hour remote or in-person sessions on Oahu. She’s also available for private group reiki events and circles. Click here (link to appointments page) to book a 1:1 reiki session with Nicol. For private group reiki events, reach out to Nicol here.

  • "My work with Nicol was truly a life changing experience. She not only helped me work through blocked energy, but also gave the tools to practice after our session. No matter what the issue may be, big or small, she is a true healer and has the ability to tap into what you need, even when you don’t know it yourself. Thank you Nicol for have helping me in ways I can’t even explain. 100% would recommend her services and will most definitely be a repeat client!"

  • “I cannot thank Nicol enough. Her session literally broke out my negative energy and I’m flying with confidence on my next steps. Amazing. A true gift.”

    - Lynn M.

  • “My reiki session with Nicol was peaceful, calming and enlightening. I felt completely comfortable while listening to her in a guided meditation and opening my spirits to her. During my session she provided different ways to cope with my anxiety and how to lead myself in a more powerful understanding of self meditation. After my session I felt more open to trying new practices to create a better relationship with my body and soul. Highly recommend!”
