Carissa

Reiki Master Practitioner, Ascension Guide & Spiritual Coach

Receiving energy work is a “tune up” for your energetic system; a necessary maintenance to help our multiple systems run efficiently. It’s that simple, and also quite profound. Reiki flows where you need it most when you receive it, whether that’s in a 1:1 Reiki or coaching session or guided meditation. I build trust with my clients by showing up as a confident, clear, and consistent conduit for Reiki energy, with their highest good in mind and at heart.

About Me

2012 was a time of transformation and a really big awakening on my spiritual journey. I started receiving energy work through Acupuncture. I shed so much old, stagnant energy and unlocked a new level of clarity and balancing. After I transmuted and released so much during this period of deep shadow work and expansion, it primed me perfectly to not only hear, but passionately follow, my calling to Reiki and to helping others take an active part in their wellness. At present in 2026, I've been fortunate to work in a variety of professional settings over a span of 13 years doing what I love.

1:1 Distance Reiki sessions with me are classic and straightforward. We'll start with a brief chat about the format of a session and address questions. During a session I will connect with you remotely, and then activate the distance transmisison of Reiki energy to begin a steady, gentle flow into the energetic system of my client. It’s a quiet, relaxing and unique experience. We close with a brief chat, as well. I love to hear what you experienced if you feel comfortable sharing!

As a former hypno-doula and childbirth hypnosis instructor, I know and love the power of words. Anyone can harness the power of words to their benefit on their spiritual journey but sometimes it's hard to know how to apply that to challenging moments. I offer ascension journey coaching to those who feel called to work with me. Holding the light often means having walked amongst the darkest shadows. I am available to listen, share wisdom and consult with you through virtual coaching sessions.You may also find me hosting guided meditations with Reiki, which soothe and align the mind and body and soul.

Voices of Our Community

"I totally enjoyed my first ever Reiki session. Carissa provided the relaxing experience that I'd looked forward and the best part is that my insomnia is gone. I definitely recommend Reiki as an alternative to OTC sleep aids!"

— MM, Client

"As a professional acupuncturist (Hudson Valley Community Acupuncture) I've been privileged to work with many great healers. Carissa is amongst the finest. Her purpose and intention are pure and authentic. She's gentle and loving and her presence fills the room like a soft blanket. Yet, she's strong in her conviction and determined. Carissa's confidence in the power of love is steadfast, making her a great conduit to positive energy.Her Reiki treatments are very comfortable, relaxing...and sometimes quite profound.If you're feeling stuck, lonely, anxious, melancholy, angry or any other ugly stuff... give Carissa a call. "

— Evan Schwartz, L.Ac.Hudson Valley Community Acupuncture

“To date, I have had Reiki twice and I am extremely impressed with the overall effects of the sessions. The first let my body feel relaxed and grounded. I felt areas of warmth and had some involuntary body movements during the sessions as Carissa moved to different points on my body.

The second session came after a minor car accident where my body was all jammed up from the impact. Again, I felt the warm, relaxed sensation and the involuntary twitches BUT when she worked in the area of my shoulder that was really bothering me I had a more intense reaction. I had the sensation of a long hot needle going into the shoulder followed by a feeling of "pop rocks" in the shoulder. All the sensations settled down and the shoulder felt significantly better.

I definitely see Reiki as an important resource for my health and well being and will continue to see Carissa as my practitioner. She is professional, warm and truly cares about the people who come to her for treatment. ”
