What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of meditative energy work. It is commonly referred to as “energy healing” and is usually done with the assistance of a Reiki practitioner who guides the flow of healthy energy through the body. Originally a Japanese practice, Reiki is now used throughout the world in some hospitals and hospices, as well as by independent practitioners.

Chrystal is a wanderer by nature, and bases her practice in the Treasure Valley. Her massage career began as a four-year-old who earned quarters in exchange for massaging her grandfather’s feet, and walking on his back. In high school, she had a massage table in her basement and worked on her friends for fun. When the time came for Chrystal to decide what she wanted to be when she grew up, the choice was evident.

She went to massage school and has been learning and practicing ever since. She graduated from the Academy of Professional Careers in 2004 with honors, and received her massage therapy license with an emphasis in pre-natal bodywork. She has been licensed in the state of Idaho since 2013, and received her national license in 2021. Chrystal works hard to stay educated and to provide ever-evolving therapeutic techniques to all she serves. She has studied many different modalities and is skilled in Pre-natal, Deep Tissue, Swedish, Myofascial Release, and Reiki.

She is trained in both the Arvigo Method Mayan Abdominal Massage and Chi Nei Tsang.

Meet the Provider

My commitment is to help support and care for our innate physical intelligences while offering tools to integrate the body, mind, and spirit. My pronouns are she and her. I am a mother. I believe that taking care of ourselves and our physical bodies is activism. Our bodies tell our stories. BIPOC, all body types, all gender expressions and all sexual orientations are invited and welcome in my practice.

When I have a client on the table I think about connections. Toe to hip, hip to head, head to heart, heart to belly. What has this body been through and what is it holding on to? Where can I meet it in order to help to support its relaxation and deep rest?  Those connections are where the magic is. Homeostasis is when all systems are soothed, balanced, unkinked and allowed to do their thing. When we can relax, all is truly well. Wellness is a journey to be embodied, and I’d be honored to work with and guide you along the way.

I have had the honor of knowing Chrystal for over 20 years. In those years she has also been my Bodywork/Massage guru. Chrystal is in tune with every aspect of a person’s needs. She has a gift of insight that most do not possess. She can meet a person, ask a few questions and she just knows what work needs to take place.  Whether it is physically or spiritually. I was in a bad accident where I broke my neck and became paralyzed. Since I am in a wheelchair, things can be difficult. Chrystal is the only person I trust to work on me. She helps me to transfer on and off the table and always has creative ideas to move me around. Her touch is healing and has helped me to connect with my “new” body. I love how she incorporates music and scent into her sessions as well. Book an appointment with Chrystal!! I promise you won’t be disappointed! ~ Jessie K.
