Hello, I'm Kristen
This is a space to reconnect—with yourself.​
Whether you're navigating a major shift or simply feeling off, you're not alone. At Palo Alto Reiki, I offer a quiet, grounded space where you can take a step back, tune in, and come back to center—on your terms and in your own time.
​
As a certified Reiki Master, I don’t view Reiki as something that fixes you. I don’t believe you’re broken. My role is to support your process by helping you reconnect with the clarity, steadiness, and strength that already exist within you.
​
This work is something I take seriously. My focus is on creating space that’s clear, honest, and respectful—no pressure, no agenda. You set the pace. I’ll meet you there.
How I Got Here
My work in energy wasn’t part of some long-term plan. It came from lived experience—specifically, a moment that forced everything to stop. After a serious accident, and the long road that followed, I found myself questioning everything. That period of recovery led to a deeper awakening—one that shifted my priorities and the way I wanted to live.
​
For over 20 years, I worked in corporate marketing. It was fast-paced, demanding, and often disconnected from what felt meaningful. Over time, the pull toward something more grounded and personal became impossible to ignore. That’s when I found Reiki—or maybe it found me.
​
I don’t offer quick fixes or polished answers. What I do offer is space. Tools. Support. A place where you can reconnect with yourself, on your terms. I’ve walked through hard things, and I trust the process of coming back to center—even when it’s messy or slow. ​If that resonates with where you are, I’m here.
Mission & Values
My mission is rooted in energetic well-being and personal empowerment.
I support clients in protecting and strengthening their energy, so they can move through life with more clarity, purpose, and connection.
​
Through Reiki—a sacred, intuitive practice—I offer both energetic support and practical tools to help you find balance, let go of what’s no longer serving you, and reconnect with what feels true.
​
I hold space with care and respect—never to fix or lead, but to walk alongside you. Reiki isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to yourself with greater steadiness, trust, and inner strength.
Behind every session is a deep commitment to ethical, respectful, and heart-centered Reiki. Read my Code of Ethics to see the standards I uphold in all I do.
Training & Credentials
My approach is grounded in both training and lived experience.
As a certified Reiki Master, I combine intuitive practice, personal transformation, and a deep respect for the self-guided nature of energy work. I believe meaningful shifts happen when we slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with what’s already within us.
​
For the past several years, I’ve supported clients through private Reiki sessions, group workshops, and spiritual mentorship—always with the intention of offering grounded support, clear insight, and space to return to clarity, strength, and self-trust.
