REIKI WITH MEGAN

Megan White’s Reiki journey began at a healing circle in early 2025. Through this experience, she got connected with Kelly Demarce, a Reiki Master based in Loudoun County, VA. Megan learned the foundational, traditional techniques of the Usui Shiki Ryoho system (Usui Method of Natural Healing) and received her Reiki Master certification at the end of 2025. Following her initiation, she has committed herself to a journey of self-awareness and healing, which she now lovingly seeks to share with others. Her practice focuses on providing a safe, gentle, and hands-on space for clients to experience the profound relaxation of 'Universal Life Energy”. In her spare time, Megan enjoys spending time with her daughter, hiking, roller skating, and playing pickle ball. She also hosts a healing circle in her local community.
