“Healing begins and ends, with listening.”

Herbal Reiki
A Whole Health Session
We call Reiki energy healing, but really it’s about connecting with yourself. To do that we have to listen. That’s what I do, with herbs and touch. I help you listen to yourself.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that uses gentle hand placements to promote relaxation and reduce stress. The word Reiki comes from two words: "rei," meaning universal, and "ki," meaning life force energy. Mikao Usui created the practice in Japan during the 1920s. Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use.
How a Session Works
You lie fully clothed on a massage table, in a quiet and tranquil room.
I place my hands just above or lightly on specific areas of your body (representing energy zones).
Most sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes.
Most people feel deep relaxation, warmth, or a calm sense of peace.
“Five stars simply aren’t enough for Sarah at Blue Dill. As a Reiki Master and teacher myself, I am incredibly particular about who I trust and recommend—and I send my students to Sarah because I truly believe everyone who practices Reiki needs to experience being on the receiving end of this work. And Sarah’s Reiki is something incredibly special. She is not only a gifted Reiki Master, but also an herbalist, and the way she weaves the two together is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Her teas are absolutely amazing, her space is beautiful, peaceful, immaculate, and so thoughtfully cared for, and Sarah herself simply exudes JOY. You feel it the minute you walk through the door. I cannot recommend her enough. Whether you are brand new to Reiki or have been practicing for years, go experience Sarah. She is truly a gift.”
- Jen Darling, of Anandamaya Healing the Whole
Hello, I’m Sarah.
As a certified Herbalist through the Chestnut School of Herbal Medicine, a certified Reiki/Master Teacher in the Usui System of Natural Healing, and a 200-hour Certified Yin Yoga Teacher, I founded Blue Dill in the spirit of community, education, and well-being.
I first came to Reiki and Herbal Medicine to help my partner heal from a chronic illness. With him cured, I take what I’ve learned to help others. My Blue Dill approach to wellness blends herbs, healing touch, and yoga to invite a unique method for stress and pain management.
You matter and I want to help you live your best life.
What is Herbal Medicine
Herbal medicine consists of recommending and administering plant-based products used to maintain health, prevent illness, and/or treat specific dis-ease in the body, mind, and spirit. Products are typically available in the form of teas, salves, syrups, tablets, powders, liquid extracts (flower essences and tinctures), or fresh and dried plants.

Your Herbal Reiki Session With Sarah
In-Person
Your Herbal Reiki session is one hour. It's private and in a clean, quiet space: my home healing studio in Cincinnati, Ohio. Soft, instrumental music will fill the space, alongside gemstones, and a few plant allies. Our time together is typically broken up into three parts.
We begin each session with an energy assessment and herbal medicine consultation. We'll sit together with a drink and talk about your journey and what particular areas of your life need attention. From this, we will formulate herbal medicine recommendations tailored just for you.
Next, we'll move to a massage table dressed with a pillow and blankets. After you're comfortable, I'll begin hands-on Reiki energy healing, focusing on the specific areas of your body and aura that we discussed during your energy assessment.
Then, to finish our time together, we’ll reflect on your session, talk about potential next steps, I'll provide you with a list of herbs that are best for you, and, if you choose, you can purchase a Blue Dill small batch, hand-blended herbal product to take home with you.
Each session is $99.
I hold our sessions out of my home healing studio in the Village of Fairfax in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Payment is due by the time of the appointment. I accept Venmo, Zelle, or cash.
You’ll be emailed the in-person studio address after you register for your session.
Virtual
Your Virtual Herbal Reiki session with me is through Google Meet and it will last for one hour. It's private and the backdrop is my healing space in Cincinnati, Ohio. I facilitate these virtual sessions while seated in a clean, quiet room with soft, instrumental music playing. I’ll work alongside gemstones and plant allies. Our time together is typically broken up into three parts.
We begin each session with an energy assessment and herbal medicine consultation. We'll talk about your journey and what particular areas of your life need attention. From this, we will formulate some herbal medicine recommendations tailored just for you.
Next, we'll move to my massage table dressed with a pillow and blankets. A camera will be positioned over a proxy, a stuffed bear named Walter or a stuffed elephant named Darla, laying on the table. Then I'll begin hands-on distant Reiki energy healing, focusing on the specific areas of your body and aura (by touching the same places on Darla or Walter) that we discussed during your energy assessment.
Then, to finish our time together, we’ll reflect on your session, talk about potential next steps, I'll send you a list of herbs that are best for you, and, if you choose, you can purchase a Blue Dill small batch, hand-blended herbal product made specifically for you.
Each session is $99.
