Healing For Body & Mind- Promoting Balance & Energy
by means of Reiki- a Japanese word meaning “Universal Life Force Energy”
Hello! I’m Joanie Graf
Licensed Therapist
I’m a certified Reiki practitioner with a deep sensitivity to energy and a passion for helping others reconnect with their inner balance. My journey with Reiki began during one of the most challenging times in my life, and it transformed everything. It sharpened my intuition, restored my confidence, and guided me back to myself. That experience inspired me to dedicate my life to sharing this healing art with others.
I first trained through Lisa Powers in a more Western approach to Reiki, and I am now deepening my practice through in-person studies in traditional Japanese Reiki at Simply Reiki in Zurich. This blend of teachings allows me to offer both a grounded and intuitive approach, rooted in the ancient origins of Reiki while honoring its modern applications. Alongside my Reiki work, I am also studying nursing, which strengthens my understanding of both the energetic and physical aspects of healing.
I specialize in supporting those navigating fear, emotional blocks, long-term trauma, and challenges that prevent energy from flowing freely. I usually recommend beginning with an initial session which includes a personalized assessment followed by an aura and chakra cleansing. From there, I suggest deciding which session to do next based on your specific needs. My fear-based packages come in a set of five shorter sessions.
My intention is to guide clients toward remembering their own ability to heal, because true healing always begins within. I look forward to meeting you in love and light.

It’s no secret that stress plays havoc on our immune system. Chronic stress leads to chronic inflammation, making us more susceptible to illnesses.
Reiki sessions offer deep relaxation, helping to reduce stress levels. When the body is relaxed, it can focus on healing and regeneration.
In addition, Reiki enhances energy to flow freely, and addresses emotional and mental blockages.
Relief of Pain
Read More
The healing that comes from Reiki does not just benefit the affected part of the body. It addresses the root cause and starts healing chronic pain from there.
Reiki practice can heal acute pain by unblocking “energy knots,” developed through an accumulation of tension or a traumatic experience.
Unblocking these “energy knots” allows the body’s natural healing energy to flow freely in the system again. Through Reiki, individuals suffering from debilitating pain can receive healing to support their physical and emotional challenges.
Reducing Anxiety

Reiki helps you to shift that focus elsewhere other than just on the anxiety. It promotes a sense of mindfulness. When you’re able to shift your focus to the present moment and become aware of your thoughts and emotions, you can better understand your anxiety triggers and develop helpful coping strategies.

Reiki helps you to become more self-aware. By opening up the third eye and the solar plexus chakra, a person feels empowered enough to set boundaries, and thus to live a more meaningful and balanced lifestyle.
Distance Healing
Read More
Reiki is a high vibrational energy force that is transmitted through a practitioner, who must be trained and attuned to that energy. When that energy moves from the universe, through the practitioner, into the recipient, their body is best set up into natural healing. This energy transcends time and space, and knows no boundaries, much the same as electricity.
Receiving and Giving of Love

Reiki opens up the heart chakra, and this helps a person to better love, forgive and understand. Due to this energy being of a higher frequency, it can be used to create harmony and balance in partnerships.

Unlocks Suppressed Feelings

This is due to energy blockages being released, thus releasing suppressed emotions that need to get out.
My Approach
Reiki Energy is available to everyone at any time. By means of a hands-on-healing technique, the “Universal Life Force” or Reiki Energy is chanelled in order to allow the energy to flow freely in the body-mind. I usually begin by opening up the chakras- the energy centers. Once these are balanced, the body-mind is receptive enough to allow natural energy healing. This may take anything from one to a number of sessions, depending on your needs.
