Our services.

  • Usui Reiki Ryoho

    This form of Reiki is a no touch service and energy work practice from Japan used to alleviate physical, emotional, mental, and/or spiritual ailments by giving clients a sense of release, gentleness, and release. Many of ayla’s clients experience comfort, warmth, and a variety of relaxing sensations. The best part? Quality, deep sleep the night after a session.

  • Aura & Herbal Cleanses

    These no touch cleanses utilize Indigenous Hawaiian, Filipino, and Reiki informed practices to clear and release whatever may be holding you back from the life you truly desire. Through plant and energy work medicine, many of ayla’s clients experience lightness, clarity, and relief.

frequently asked questions

  • whether you are a first time or returning client, each session begins with an intake and assessment on what you would like to work on together, accompanied with a custom made beverage to support your wellness needs. these services are goal oriented and always unique to each person on what they would like to release and/or usher into their life. we then move into the services that most excite and delight you, as well as support you. every session ends with a take home tea blend to support your needs!

  • sessions take place in my private studio in our historic sugar hill/upper harlem neighborhood and weather permitting, in riverside or st. nicholas park. if travel is a barrier for you, i also offer distance energy work sessions that can be done with you over zoom/facetime/skype for the whole session or the intake and you will feel the effects at a designated time most comfortable for you.

  • absolutely! as a healing justice practitioner, i believe wellness is a right and while energy work is true labour worth compensation, i am flexible with an equitable energy exchange should any of my clients be in a period of financial strife.

  • my love, as always, there is never a cure all, one time fix to any of our problems. reiki and energy work are resources and while i see my work as opening a door (and equipping you on how to build your own door in the long run), i can not walk you through the door. only you can choose to walk this life long path of healing and wellness, but you do not have to walk alone.

  • reiki should never hurt or cause physical discomfort. many of my clients experience lightness, tingling sensations, and/or deep relaxation but never pain.

  • only therapy is therapy and i am not a licensed social worker or therapist. these services are additional tools to support you on your journey, but are not provided to override other fields of wellness.

  • there is never anything “wrong” with you! some people may be more open than others and experience different sensations, others have understandable, protective boundaries. regardless of how much you feel or don’t feel, reiki and energy work go where they are meant to go and come to you when you are meant to experience it. if you trust in yourself and trust in the work, there will always be a benefit for you.

  • the best effect of energy work is a great night’s sleep the night of the session! many of my clients experience ease for three days after and most experience alleviation of their symptoms for up to two weeks.

  • …yes.
