Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese relaxation touch therapy that provides a simple yet powerful way to recharge, realign and provide balance to our bodies. Restoring balance creates the optimal conditions needed for healing.
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit, creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
What to Expect
Your first Reiki session is easy — here’s how it works.
Stay Fully Clothed
Wear something comfortable. You’ll rest on a massage table, fully clothed, with a blanket and pillow if you like.
Gentle, Light Touch
Your practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body, moving slowly from head to feet.
Simply Relax
There’s nothing you need to do. Many people drift into a deep, calm rest during their session.
Afterwards
Take a moment before getting up, drink some water, and notice how you feel.
Reiki is a complementary practice and is not a substitute for medical care.

Catherine experienced reiki for the first time in 2018, just before she opened The Yoga Zen, and felt such a profound sense of release and return to balance energetically and emotionally that she sought out reiki therapy many times since.
She received her Reiki I & II certification in March 2020 and her Reiki Master Practitioner certification in 2022.
Reiki has been a way for Catherine to ground and grow deeper awareness while navigating the complexities of daily life; she’s passionate about sharing healing experiences with others in her reiki sessions.

Ashley Battell, LMT, started her holistic healthcare journey in 2017 when her family moved to Michigan. She started with completing her certifications in Practical Acupuncture and Clinical Nutrition / Herbology in 2018 from Blue Heron Academy.
Next she became a registered 200 hr Yoga and Barre instructor. She loves being able to guide people through movement and breath, and incorporates that into her massage techniques as well. In 2024, she also became a certified Thai Massage Practitioner through Simplified Yoga Method. She then completed additional advanced training in Traditional and Table Thai Massage in 2025. In 2026, Ashley received her certification for Oncology Massage Therapy.
Finally, she successfully graduated from Great Lakes School of Massage in June of 2025. Becoming a LMT has always been her main goal, but adding all these other modalities leading up to the LMT created her unique, intuitive and efficient technique style! Ashley is also a Reiki II practitioner, receiving her placements in 2026.
When she is not helping others feel better in their bodies and nervous systems, Ashley loves live music, dancing, travel, yoga, weight lifting, kayaking, hiking, skiing and spending time with her husband, step son, 2 dogs, and 2 cats. She is currently working on building a homestead where her family can have farm animals too! She has a hippie heart, a free spirit, and loves caring for others.
