Hello, we are happy you stopped by.
Welcome to Sierra Nevada Family Reiki.
Meet Rachel Hartwig, Owner of Sierra Nevada Family Reiki, Your Reiki Master Practitioner, and Family Resource Expert
Hi, I’m Rachel. I am happy you stopped by to learn about me, Sierra Nevada Family Reiki, and how we can help support your and your family. For over 20 years, my life’s passion has been supporting families navigating crisis. As a former Special education Teacher's Assistant and Washoe County Foster Parent, I have sat with hundreds of parents who felt overwhelmed by the modern school and healthcare systems. I saw a massive gap: special needs and foster families were receiving great clinical care, but the care and support did not translate well once outside of clinical settings. Children in foster care and with special needs often do not have the ability to regulate their emotions or nervous systems. Parents of these children often struggle with the same issues. When the whole family lacks the ability to regulate their nervous system and emotions, it can often challenge the family dynamic. Children in foster care and with special needs are more likely to be punished or neglected by a caregiver for emotional outbursts than that of neuro-typical children. They also are more likely to be left out of family and friendship activities due to their inability to identify and regulate emotions. This is especially true in families where one child has special needs and the other child does not.
In 2018, I met Amy Barilla, owner
. By 2019, I became a Certified Reiki Master Practitioner.
Today, at Sierra Nevada Family Reiki, my mission is to provide a safe, compassionate space that empowers you and your children. Together, we use Usui Reiki and emotional regulation tools to bring peace, harmony, and resilience to all four layers of your family's well-being: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

About Rachel Hartwig
How Sierra Nevada Integrates Usui Reiki With Other Modalities
Sierra Nevada Family Reiki is an integrative healing practice dedicated to supporting the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We blend evidence-based complementary modalities with your conventional wellness routines to target the root of an issue rather than treating isolated symptoms. Our primary focus is nervous system and emotional regulation. By combining Usui Reiki Healing with other supportive modalities, we provide a cohesive, holistic approach to your family's wellness journey.
What Is Usui Reiki ?
Usui Reiki (pronounced ray-key) an evidence-based complementary therapy that has been practiced in major hospitals and mental health institutes since the early 1900s. It is a fully-clothed Japanese technique for relaxation and stress reduction that calms the nervous system and promotes the body's natural ability to heal itself. Life force energy—commonly known as chi, ki, or prana—flows through pathways in and around all living things. When daily stressors and traumas block this flow, the energy becomes stagnant. Over time, these energetic blocks can manifest as physical, mental, and emotional symptoms, including emotional dysregulation, burnout, headaches, digestive issues, sleep disturbances, and a lack of focus.

How is Usui Reiki Administered and how does it help the body?
Reiki addresses blocks within the four energy bodies—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—acting as a key to unlock them. By restoring energy flow to the sympathetic nervous system to its optimum state, Reiki supports the body's parasympathetic nervous system--the body's natural healing mechanism. Usui Reiki is administered by the Reiki Master Practitioner with a gentle touch or hovering over the client's body. The energy flows from the practitioner's hands to different areas of the the body
