Meet Your Practitioner
Donna Mattucci
In addition to a professional career teaching children with special needs and a Masters Degree in Education, I have a life long immersion in holistic health and healing. For over 30 years I have been a practitioner of yoga and meditation studying in the US and India. I completed my certification as a yoga instructor in 2006 and for the last decade my focus has been on teaching meditation. I also hold a certificate of proficiency in classical homeopathy. This enthusiasm for the pursuit of wellness has recently led me to a month residency in Sedona Arizona where I concluded training as a Reiki Master Teacher. I am delighted to now share Reiki treatment empowering people to heal themselves. Your healing treatment experience will include a melding of my foundation in the yoga tradition along with the capacity for utilizing Reiki energy that has been bestowed on me. Together we will enhance your healing potential, increase your vitality, and restore balance on all levels of your being. I eagerly look forward to connecting with you on your journey to health and wellness.

ABOUT
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a system of natural healing that balances and strengthens the body's energy promoting its ability to heal itself. It is a non-invasive healing therapy that is used for treating all imbalances on any level; physical, mental, emotional, psychological, and spiritual. During a Reiki treatment the practitioner is channelling energy in a particular pattern by holding their hands above the person being treated in order to heal and harmonize. The recipient draws energy on a conscious and unconscious level allowing the energy to go where needed. The basic effects of a Reiki treatment are that it brings about deep relaxation, releases energy blockages, detoxifies the system, and increases vibrational frequency of the body providing new vitality. Reiki is considered one of the safest wellness treatments and can only be used in a positive manner and therefore has no ill effects.
Where does Reiki come from?
Hands on healing has been around since the beginning of humanity. Reiki is similar to an ancient healing system from Tibet. Seers studied energy and developed a system of sounds and symbols that were used for healing. Various healing systems that crossed many cultures emerged from this root. Unfortunately most of these systems have been lost, or replaced by modern medicine. Mikao Usui (1865-1926) is considered the founder of Reiki. In the mid to late 1800's in Japan, he extensively studied the ancient systems that are linked directly to the human body and nervous system which activate the universal life force energy for healing.
What can I expect during treatment?
Everyone's experience of Reiki is as individual as each person. Some of the more common experiences are a feeling of heat in a particular area of the body, a deep sense of relaxation and peace, a feeling of vibration or movement of energy, emotional release. In some cases that involve physical pain a person may have a momentary experience of the pain before it is gone. The practitioner may be able to recognize a cause of imbalance and share that with the person for healing purposes. It is recommend that you take it easy and drink water after your treatment in order to allow the energy to continue working through you.
What is a Reiki Master?
As a Reiki Master, I have gone through 4 levels of training and received "attunements" at each level from a Reiki Master Teacher. The attunements allow greater access to the universal life force and capacity for using Reiki energy. My training is through the Usui System of Natural Healing that has been passed down through the linage of Reiki Master Teachers trained by Mikao Usui.
Should I receive a Reiki Treatment?
We are meant to be healthy, happy, and fulfilled in life. When our energies are balanced our body, mind and spirit work in harmony and we can experience our optimum potential. However, when life's challenges throw us off balance, we often adapt and live with some level of fatigue, stress, pain, anxiety, depression and illness. Reiki can help us recover and restore our resilience so that we feel revitalized and a renewed sense of strength, purpose, enthusiasm, and ease.
