Weddings are a time of beauty and transformation—but they can also stir up a whirlwind of emotions. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, standing beside someone who is, or simply part of the planning process, the emotional weight of this life transition is real.
Joy, excitement, stress, anxiety, and even family tension often come bubbling to the surface. During times like these, Reiki therapy offers a gentle yet powerful way to stay grounded, release emotional baggage, and reconnect with your inner calm. Here at Matthews Massage and Wellness we would like to be your place of refuge and renewal during this hectic time. Our talented Reiki therapist, Anna Marchese, has expanded her hours for the summer to support you and guide you through this process.
Here are five ways Reiki can support you through a major life transition like getting married:
1. Reconnect with Your Intentions
Amid all the checklists and outside expectations, it’s easy to lose sight of what this moment truly means to you. Reiki creates space for inner stillness, helping you tune in to what you want your wedding—and your marriage—to feel like. It brings clarity and helps you align with your heart’s true desires.
2. Release Outside Pressure
From unsolicited opinions to cultural expectations, the pressure from others can feel overwhelming. Reiki helps quiet the mental noise and emotional weight, allowing you to let go of what doesn’t belong to you. With each session, you return to your own center—grounded, calm, and confident in your path.
3. Heal Past Relationships
Old wounds from past partners or even childhood experiences can subtly influence how we approach love and commitment. Reiki offers a gentle, non-verbal way to release emotional residue and create space for new beginnings. It’s like clearing the energetic slate—so you can move forward with an open heart.
4. Open to Love
Reiki isn’t just about healing; it’s about expansion. Through this energy work, you can strengthen your ability to receive love—fully and freely—from yourself and your partner. This is especially helpful if you’ve ever struggled with vulnerability, self-worth, or fear of intimacy.
5. Stay Grounded in Yourself
In the midst of celebration and change, it’s easy to feel swept up in the tide. Reiki helps anchor you in your own energy, so you’re not losing yourself in the process. As you prepare to share your life with someone else, it reminds you to first stay rooted in who you are.
Not Planning a Wedding?
Reiki isn’t just for brides and grooms. These same benefits apply to any major life transition—starting a new job, moving, becoming a parent, or even shifting into a new phase of personal growth. Anytime life asks you to stretch or transform, Reiki can help you move through it with clarity, calm, and connection to your heart. Anna walks you through a guided meditation helping you to visualize what is important to you and process what no longer serves you. Her work helps bring clarity in your life and refocus for the future.
