Caitlin Watkins, a seasoned Reiki Master in two lineages is thrilled to announce the grand opening of her new Reiki studio, The Healing Hut, located on the river in The Leland Building (behind Trish’s Dishes).
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a Japanese healing art that channels energy through touch and intention. Reiki reduces tension, stress, and pain and promotes overall wellness. Reiki soothes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual imbalances.
After nine years providing Reiki sessions and classes in Traverse City under the banner of Grand Traverse Reiki, Watkins is excited to return to the county and share her healing expertise with the Leelanau community. “The Leland Building holds special significance for me, as it’s the same building where my grandfather worked for many decades. The energy feels just right for healing,” she said. “My goal is for The Healing Hut to allow the people of Leelanau County to experience the benefits of Reiki and learn more about their own innate healing abilities.”
At The Healing Hut, Watkins provides a variety of services personalized to the needs of her clients, including:
• 60-Minute Reiki Sessions: A comprehensive energy healing session to promote deep relaxation and well-being.
• 30-Minute Reiki Sessions: A shorter session perfect for those seeking focused healing or a quick energetic tune-up.
• “Healing Whammies”: Convenient, shorter Reiki sessions for individuals with limited time who need a quick boost of healing energy.
Caitlin’s extensive training in martial arts, yoga, dance, and meditation reflects her lifelong pursuit of movement and mindfulness. She specializes in supporting individuals dealing with PTSD. Reiki facilitates trauma release from the body without the need for verbal processing. She emphasizes that Reiki is also a powerful tool Continued from Page 1
for emotional and psychological balance and pain relief of all kinds. A fantastic way to experience Reiki for the first time is by attending Watkins’ “Group Reiki - Chakra Tune-up” class at River Studio in Leland on Fridays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Adding a touch of lightheartedness to the healing process, her Friday class incorporates the soothing sounds of Yacht Rock to enhance the flow of Reiki energy.
“It might sound unconventional, but the combination is surprisingly effective and makes the experience more accessible and enjoyable. You really have to come and check it out!” Watkins said.
The Healing Hut is now open and welcoming clients. For more information or to schedule a session, please visit gtreiki. com or contact Caitlin directly at caitlin@ gtreiki.com.
