Reiki Sessions
OUR PRACTITIONERS:
Neil Chaput de Saintonge
An individual Reiki session from Neil can be one of the most balancing and calming hours of your life. The focus of these sessions is to help you feel more grounded in your body, connected to your soul, and open to positive change.
Every individualized Reiki session includes the giving of Reiki through human touch in the most common Reiki hand positions. Beyond that, Neil will cater the work to exactly what you are looking for and what you need. In addition to practicing Reiki, Neil may incorporate helpful techniques from his more than 40 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist.
Throughout his years as a licensed massage therapist, he’s learned Thai massage, cranial sacral level I, sports massage, and Russian massage.
Neil has given over 6,000 sessions of reiki to more than 1,000 different people. He is also a big fan of getting energy work, and has received over 2,000 sessions himself.
He has experience working with:
-busy UM students

-people who suffer from childhood trauma
-people who want to feel grounded & connected

“It’s obvious that Neil taps into something ancient and powerful when he’s doing Reiki. There is a deep seated wisdom in his work that is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Not to mention, Neil has a heart of gold which makes receiving his work feel comfortable and warm. I had never received Reiki before I went to Neil and I came with questions and skepticism. After one session, I was transformed. He had amazing insights about me—without knowing me at all—and I walked out of his office feeling so calm, grounded, and in my heart. I return to Neil’s work whenever I need to recenter and reconnect with my truest self.”
“I am a skeptic at heart, so when I received a birthday gift of a Reiki session with Neil, I was initially dubious. I’ve learned that Reiki is anything but hokum. Neil helps me feel focused and grounded. His touch is at once compassionate and invigorating.”
Bonita
Bonita studied with Inner Peace Reiki to receive all three levels of Reiki training. She has continued learning through a close mentorship with Neil, shadowing classes and learning to co-teach. Bonita is also a community herbalist, and has completed the Herbalist Certificate program with Green Path Herb School in Missoula, MT.
While she doesn’t have the years of experience that Neil does, she has a natural affinity for the healing arts, and the spirit of a lifelong learner. While Bonita honors the traditional Usui Reiki lineage, a session with her may also include plant-spirit healing, and spirit work from her lineage as a Mexican-American person. Her work touches on these roots, incorporating elements of curanderismo such as limpias.
Bonita is a trauma-informed reiki practitioner, who has experience working with those suffering from PTSD. She also works with many LGBTQ2S+ clients, individuals navigating big life changes, and sensitive souls who seek guidance in protecting their energy.
