Jennfer Weissman, Reiki Healer
Jen holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Cornell University and a Master’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin, and has spent the majority of her career working in analytical roles at global organizations. She has always been someone who loves learning and creating clarity from complexity, but over time, the work that energized her most was not happening behind a computer screen.
What started as a need to take better care of her own health several years ago has turned into a wellness journey that not only changed her life, but is now positively impacting the lives of others as well. She became a dance fitness instructor in 2023, a Reiki Level II practitioner in the Usui lineage trained by Gurdeep Bhogal in 2024, and most recently earned certification in sound healing through the Complementary Medical Association.
She is most fully energized during moments of connection, when she is making a direct impact on others’ lives. This realization led her to ask herself: What if she pursued a career path that tapped into this passion, even if it meant starting over? That is the journey she is now on. She continues to be in awe of the power of energy and the impact it can have on our physical and emotional selves. Through Reiki, her goal is to provide a calm, peaceful space where clients can relax, step away from the noise of everyday life, and leave feeling more balanced and connected to themselves.

5. Rebooking & Future Appointments
Any cancellation fees or no-show fees must be paid in full before scheduling any future appointments.
Repeated violations of the policy (e.g. multiple late cancellations or no-shows) may result in the requirement of full prepayment for future appointments — or denial of further bookings.
6. Late Arrival Policy
Please arrive at least 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time to allow for check-in and preparation. Late arrivals may result in a shortened service or forfeiture of the appointment, and the full service charge may still apply.

All clients must acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agree to this policy at the time of booking (via signature on an intake form or electronic agreement).
8. Emergency / Exceptional Circumstances
We understand that emergencies occur. In rare cases, fee waivers can be granted—but only at management’s discretion, and only if the client contacts us as soon as possible and obtains explicit approval. We appreciate you reading and abiding by our policies. Everyones cooperation is essential to the smooth operation of our business.
