My Story: Anne H. Bentzen

        JIKIDEN REIKI TEACHER

My journey with Reiki began in the 1990’s when beginning to look for answers to help the autistic children I was servicing as an occupational therapist in a local school district.  I discovered the world of energy and a new way of perceiving the world based on energy and not just our sensory system.  After becoming a western style Usui Reiki master, I developed a private practice in Westchester County New Yorkand founded Balancing 4 Life in 2008.

 I have enjoyed providing Reiki treatments and teaching Reiki for years. In 2013, I began learning the original, more intuitive Japanese style of Reiki called Jikiden Reiki which has no western influence. Jikiden Reiki teaches Reiki as it was originally taught by teaching aspects of the Japanese culture that are integral to the practice of Reiki.  In 2019, as I was retiring from occupational therapy I became certified as a Shihankaku (assistant) teacher by the chairman of the Jikiden Reiki Institute, Tadao Yamaguchi Sensei.  Presently, I am the only Jikiden Reiki Shihankaku teacher and practitioner in Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties.

Energy counseling is an important aspect of my practice where I share with clients and students how energy flows, the importance of mastering their own personal energy, discerning energy and taking responsibility for the energy they “broadcast” out to the Universe. Empowering clients is what I love to do to help them crreate the best version of their lives beginning by rebalancing inner harmony, health and well-being.

” I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for me.  The time you take to prepare for your workshops and classes and the kind and gentle way you deliver information shows it is all from your heart. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself.  You are a wonderful person.”

Mission Statement

The goal of Balancing 4 Life is to help you experience relief from daily stressors and physical/emotional symptoms to support greater health and well-being in your life.  Simultaneously our complementary counseling will empower you to understand how your thoughts and beliefs influence your reality. Rebalancing your subtle energy body with Reiki and supporting a positive shift of your conscious awareness will empower you to transform your health and well-being for a future of greater happiness and peace.

We each have an innate ability to heal ourselves. Treating the human energy field is the missing link to healthcare and well-being. Reiki restores harmony to your heart and mind.
