Awakenings Holistic Wellness promotes
health through hands-on healing
Kelly Moretta, owner of
Awakenings Holistic Wellness,
helps people move toward balance
and wholeness with reiki
bio-field energy therapy.
Reiki is a Japanese hands-on
healing technique that promotes
overall health and well-being by
restoring balance to the body’s
energy system at physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual levels.
“Reiki is one of the fastest
growing complementary healing
techniques,” she said. “It is
widely practiced in homes, clinics,
hospitals, nursing homes and
spas throughout the world.”
Clinical studies have shown
that reiki can relax the body,
relieve pain, improve sleep,
clear toxins and boost the immune
system. Reiki benefits the
healthy and those with illness
and is valuable for all ages. It is
widely used for stress management
and relaxation. For people
with chronic illness, regular
treatments will help manage
symptoms and enhance conventional
treatment.
Moretta works with her clients
to customize each reiki session
based on their specific needs because
of her passion for helping
others.
Moretta is a reiki master in the
Usui/Tibetian, Ascension and
Reiju systems of healing, among
other modalities. She holds certification
with the International
Association of Reiki Professionals
and the International Center
for Reiki Training.
As the founder and coordinator
of North Shore Reiki and
Energy Healers, she has created
a local community for both experienced
energy healers and
those interested in experiencing
and learning about the benefits
of reiki energy work.
Moretta is also a reiki master
teacher, offering certification
classes for those wanting to enhance
and empower their lives
with this harmonizing energy.
“Reiki’s gentle and nurturing
energy is an ancient technique
that is the wave of the future,”
she said. “For those looking for a
more holistic approach to health
and wellness, the opportunities
are endless.”
Moretta discovered energy
healing through her own need
for healing.
After leading a successful
corporate management position
while raising two young daughters,
she suddenly found herself
in need of medical help. The
stress and demands of a fastpaced
career and family life had
taken its toll. She was diagnosed
with an autoimmune condition
similar to lupus that demanded
she immediately pay more attention
to herself.
Doctors offered a host of pharmaceuticals,
but she knew the
key was in making life changes
and embracing holistic mind and
body wellness techniques to heal
herself.
“I began practicing yoga
and meditation,” Moretta said.
“Later, I received my first reiki
session, and although initially
skeptical, I immediately became
a believer and an outspoken advocate
of this transformative
healing art.”
Having experienced the profound
healing that she did, her
passion to share it with as many
people as possible was ignited.
Moretta left her corporate career
and began studying different
modalities of energy healing,
advancing to master teacher with
reiki as her chosen specialty.
Along with her healing treatments,
Moretta is also a certified
yoga instructor. She often
combines reiki, breath work and
meditation with her clients for a
truly transformative experience.
