About Gwen Christensen

Certified Reiki Therapist
​and ​Massage Practitioner
Picture

I love to help people.  When they leave feeling better, emotionally and physically, I'm happy.  It's very rewarding.   

I moved from Vancouver to Garden Bay with my husband more than 16 years ago.  We  just  wanted to try something different.  It's such a beautiful place and so close to nature, we loved it immediately and haven't looked back.  
I was interested in Energy Healing as a very young person and read a few books about it, but it wasn't until 11 years ago when I was experiencing some personal emotional challenges that were causing some severe neck pain that I decided to try a Reiki treatment.  The results were immediate.  The following day, my pain and emotional stress were lifted.  I could hardly believe it.  So, that's when I decided to start doing Reiki for others.  I love it.  The feedback I get is always positive and people are so surprised at how it makes them feel.  It's difficult to explain Reiki.  One really needs to experience it to understand.  It's hard to imagine how something as simple as a light hands on treatment can be so powerful.  There are some things that just can't be explained.  
​

Seeing the difference in my clients before and after treatment is amazing. It feels so good to help them let go of their stress. I've also seen many transformations take place after the Reiki treatments: pain disappearing, and positive changes in thought and attitude.  It’s wonderful to witness and be a part of it.
"Reiki is a great experience.  When I went to see Gwen I was feeling so sick I could barely get myself up in the mornings. I would honestly say Reiki saved me."
Marie H., Maple Ridge, B.C. 
"I have been going to Gwen for Reiki treatments for a number of years for everything from arthritis to major knee surgery.  It always reduces the pain and in some cases, eliminates it altogether.  After the treatments I have a very restful sleep and I have  more energy the following day. Gwen is a caring, warm person. I do not have any hesitation recommending her."
Gerry H., Garden Bay, B.C.

What is REIKI?

REIKI (pronounced ray-key) is a very relaxing, healing technique using light touch as a way of moving our body's physical energy, which helps to release blockages caused by stress. Most illnesses, aches and pains are brought on or worsened by stress.  REIKI is recognized by hospitals worldwide as it deals effectively with stress, and activates our natural healing process to restore our physical and emotional balance and well being.

Replenish Your Energy

Reiki: Replenish Energy
We all have energy flowing through us and it affects our quality of health and sense of well being.  When our energy is low or blocked, we may not think clearly, can feel weak, lack confidence and are more susceptible to illness.  When our energy is strong, we have clarity of purpose and feel good about our life.  ​

Release Your Stress

Reiki: Relieve Stress
The main thing that reduces our energy is stress.  Reducing stress improves our health and makes it less likely that we will get sick.  Most illnesses, aches and pains are brought on, or made worse, by emotional stress, trauma (recent or old), long buried in our body's natural survival technique.  Reiki is a way of dealing effectively with stress. 

Relax Deeply

Reiki: Relax Deeply
It is not a massage, but rather, uses light touch as a way of moving your inner energy and opening energy blockages.  The client remains fully clothed on a massage table in a comfortable setting.  It is very soothing. You will enter a wonderful state of relaxation during which energy starts moving, unblocking, and allows your body to start healing.  
"I brought a group of friends up to ride dirt bikes on the coast. After our ride, Gwen arrived with her mobile kit and did an excellent job giving all 7 of us sports massages. We would have had her back every day if she had the time. I highly recommend Gwen's massage treatments! "
