Healing happens on multiple levels: mental, physical, emotional and some levels that remain unseen. The owners and team at Evolve Homewood assist their clients on both the physical and the unseen levels of healing through therapeutic massage and Reiki.
Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. Reiki Masters channel life energy into their clients, helping them to balance their chakras — the energy centers of the body.
Michael Disko, Valerie Chastain and Ian Kusinski are each Reiki Master Teachers who studied under Ann Clark, a celebrated Birmingham energy healer and author of “Wisdom of Souls” from the Newton Institute. Now they are passing on their knowledge through Reiki workshops held in the Evolve Homewood Wellness Studio. Evolve offers four levels of Reiki training: Reiki 1, Reiki 2, Reiki Master and Reiki Master Teacher.
Reiki 1 is an introduction to Reiki and focuses on Reiki for self-healing. When learning Reiki, a student must first nurture their relationship with Reiki Energy before they are ready to help others.
Reiki 2, which prepares students to be Reiki practitioners, is held three months after completion of the first workshop.
Six months later in Reiki 3, students become Reiki Masters, and the following year the most dedicated students will have an opportunity to take the last level to learn to teach Reiki themselves.
The time between each level of learning allows novices to put what they have learned into practice and to feel and understand Reiki Energy.
Evolve offers a variety of other classes, including Valerie’s Health Coaching Program for Auto-Immune management and Hormone Balancing, and Ian’s classes on crystals and their uses.
