Patients reviews


I sought out Cari Drake for a Reiki healing session, which was beyond blissful. I've had Reiki healing sessions before, but nowhere near as comprehensive and beneficial as Cari's.

She conducts her Reiki sessions while you are you lying clothed on a table, on a very comfy crushed crystal infrared heated pad. In the course of my healing session, Cari employed tuning forks, pendulums and singing bowls.

Afterwards we talked and she gave me a complete assessment of what she learned from by body and its chakras during my Reiki session. She was able to tell me things that were very interesting, albeit surprising. Cari is extremely knowledgeable and well versed on a variety of health related topics.

When I learned that as a nurse practitioner (FNP-BC) Cari also provides medical services, we literally went from her reiki room in her office suite to her medical room in the next room over! I inquired about an NAD injection and after she explained the benefits to me, she painlessly administered the shot. She suggested checking in with her to let her know how I was doing and whether to plan for additional injections. She even recommended a gummy for sleep, that wouldn't cause a hangover effect in the morning.

If you are looking for a great healing reiki session and knowledgeable medical care as well (one stop shopping!) with loads of parking, from a very nice, caring and personable person, get yourself in to see Cari Drake!
