Amanda Shalapay

Reiki practitioner/ Certified Yin Yoga Teacher/ RN

After years of interest in energy healing, I completed the first and second degree of the Usui Reiki System of Natural Healing in 2023 so that I may share my passion with others.

Reiki is the Japanese term for Universal Life Energy, an energy that flows within and

around us. Stressors and imbalances in our lives can deplete and disrupt the flow of life force energy and result in various health issues.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner receives the Universal Life Energy and transfers it to the client through a gentle hands-on or hands-off approach.

This spiritual energy healing practice activates, releases or transforms energy on all levels (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) to restore balance, promoting a state of harmony and well-being.

I am a wife and mother with children ranging 13 to 29 years of age and work full time as a Registered Nurse in Palliative and End of Life Care. Life can be physically, mentally and emotionally stressful and I have found a refuge in the meditative and nourishing practices of Reiki and Yin Yoga.

I am so excited to be sharing this with you at Mahalo Massage and Wellness.I learned of Yin Yoga early 2020 after COVID resulted in gym closures and a significant change in my active lifestyle and coaching role. While I had practiced yoga for many years I had never tried Yin. I quickly fell in love with it and completed Yin Yoga teacher training so I could share it with others.

My physical pursuits over the years have included triathlons, CrossFit and road cycling. I enjoy camping, hiking, paddle boarding and kayaking.
