Sessions
New to Reiki? Start with the 60 min in-person session, or the distance session if Santa Fe is a long drive.
In-person session
One hour of Reiki, most of it resting on the table. What happens in a session.
At my studio in Santa Fe
Book a 60 min session
Extended session
The same session with 30 more minutes on the table. I spend the extra time on wherever you hold the most tension, and include chakra balancing (slow hand positions along the spine, from the crown of the head to the base of the back). For a hard week, or when an hour feels too short.

We start with a 10 min phone call at our agreed time. Then you lie down somewhere quiet at home for 35 min while I sit in my studio and work through the same hand positions I use in person. Afterward I email you a note about what I noticed, and you can tell me what you felt, or that you felt nothing much.

Most people who book with me are worn out from looking after everyone else. They sleep badly, their mind won't slow down at night, or they've been through a hard year and still feel heavy. Many are nurses, teachers and caregivers. Most have never had Reiki before.
Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy practice. You lie still while I rest my hands lightly on or just above you. You keep your clothes on and I use no oil or pressure, which is the main difference from massage. Most people feel warm and very relaxed.
We start with tea and a few minutes of talk about how you're feeling. You spend most of the session on a padded table under a warm blanket, and afterward you sit up slowly and tell me anything you noticed.
Questions
- What should I wear?
- Something comfortable and loose.
- What if I fall asleep?
- Many people do. I'll wake you gently at the end.
- Do I have to talk?
- Only as much as you want. Some people talk at the start, and many go quiet once they lie down.
- Does insurance cover it?
- Usually not, but many HSA and FSA cards work. Check with your plan.
About Elena
I was a hospice nurse for 15 years. The work taught me how much people carry, and how rarely anyone lets them put it down. By the end I was exhausted myself. A friend booked me a Reiki session, and that night I slept for nine hours, the first full night in months. I trained through Master level over the next 3 years and opened Still Water Reiki in 2018.
I don't promise cures. I offer an hour of real rest with someone who knows how to sit quietly with you.
Off the clock, I garden, hike the Dale Ball Trails, lose afternoons in old bookstores, and live with two cats.

“I didn't know what to expect. I left feeling lighter than I had in years, and I slept through the night.”
“I was skeptical about distance Reiki, but I felt it. I book every month now.”
“Elena has the calmest presence. I drive up from Albuquerque once a month.”
