"Attending the "Music and Energy Journey" session was a truly transformative experience for me. As someone who had never tried Reiki before, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was blown away by the power of the session. The combination of GIM and energy work created a safe space of deep relaxation that allowed me to fully release tension and stress.
I felt a profound sense of restoration through the experience which the facilitators so expertly guided. I was able to tap into a deeper layer of self-care, receiving the full experience of healing through music and energy work. During the session I could feel emotions being released, making way for a renewed sense of peace and clarity. I left feeling lighter, more grounded, and inspired to prioritize my well-being. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful way to reconnect with themselves and foster inner healing. Looking forward to the next session!"

“I registered for the Music and Energy Journey with a bit of trepidation. However, as soon as I walked through the door of the Music Therapy Centre a calmness came over me. The session with Daiva and Chrissy left me energized and relaxed. I worked out a solution for an issue that had been "nagging" me. The soothing words and music did it! Waiting for the next workshop.”

What is Guided Imagery and Music?
Guided imagery and music (GIM) is a music-centred form of psychotherapy where clients listen to specific programs of music in a relaxed state. The music is used to evoke images, memories and feelings. With a therapist guiding the process, these elements are explored and integrated. While GIM is a psychotherapeutic method, our session will involve an adaptation of this method to provide the group with a guided imagery experience to encourage deep relaxation, curiosity, personal exploration and experiences of insight, inspiration and/or reflection.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energetic healing modality that originated in Japan. Reiki is a universal, spiritual energy that exists everywhere. It brings balance and relaxation to the body, while activating your innate healing potential. During a treatment, the practitioner channels the energy through their hands and hovers their hands or uses light touch to offer the energy to the receiver. Reiki can be channeled for 1:1 and group experiences, whether in-person or via distance. Everyone’s experience of Reiki is unique. During Reiki treatments, receivers may feel heat in different areas of the body, deep relaxation, tingles, or a connection to their higher self and guides. Reiki can be a catalyst for deeper healing and is complementary to other therapies and treatments, not a replacement.
