Ember
Formerly known as Reiki Healing, same beloved session, new name that better reflects the work and the energy it carries.
A Reiki and sound healing session for those ready to find the thread back to themselves
90 minutes $222 | 120 minutes $333
Maybe life has been loud lately. Maybe you have been carrying something heavy and cannot quite name what it is. Maybe you have been moving through your days showing up for everyone and everything, and somewhere along the way you stopped showing up for yourself.
Or maybe something beautiful is beginning. A new chapter, a new role, a new version of yourself stepping forward. And you want to meet it with your whole heart, fully present, fully grounded, fully here.
Either way, something is calling you inward. Ember is that answer.
This is a session designed to help you stop, land, and remember what it feels like to be in your own body. To release what you have been holding, or to receive what you are stepping into. To leave lighter, clearer, calmer, and more connected to something greater than the noise of your everyday life.
You feel called to it. That is really all the qualification you need.
Maybe you are navigating change, moving through grief, or carrying the weight of everything on your plate. Maybe you just landed a dream job and want to arrive in it with full presence. Maybe you are closing a chapter and need space to honor what is ending before you step into what is next. Maybe you simply cannot remember the last time you did something just for yourself.
You do not need to understand energy work or believe in anything specific. You just need to be willing to show up and receive.
Ember is for you if
Salvage + Rescue is a private healing studio in Santa Clara, CA. When you walk in you will feel the difference immediately. Dark botanical walls, warm wood floors, plants, singing bowls, soft light.
This is not a clinical space. It is a sanctuary designed to hold the kind of depth that does not happen in ordinary rooms.
The Space
What Happens During Your Session
Your session begins with a gentle check in. A few minutes for you to arrive, to land, to share whatever feels relevant about where you are. There is no pressure to have the right words. You just show up and we find the thread together.
From there the session moves intuitively. Reiki is channeled (hands off, no physical touch) moving energy through and around your field. A guided meditation may weave through. Sound healing and tuning bring resonance to places words cannot reach. The session is led entirely by what your system needs in that moment.
You may experience warmth, coolness, tingling, a sense of floating, or simply deep relaxation. Some see colors. Some experience an unexpected emotional release. Some feel very little during the session and notice the shifts in the hours and days that follow. There is no right way to receive this work. Whatever you experience is exactly what your system needs.
The session closes with a gentle return, grounding you back into your body and your awareness. There is space for any guidance or reflections that arose during the session and a few quiet minutes before you re-enter the world.
What You Will Leave With
People consistently describe leaving Ember feeling lighter, like something they did not know they were carrying has been set down. Clearer, a quietness in the mind that feels like breathing room. Calmer, a steadiness in the body that was not there before. More hopeful, like something has shifted even if they cannot fully explain how. More connected to themselves, to something greater, to a sense of knowing.
Some describe it as ooey gooey. Deeply relaxed in the most delicious way. Like the world slowed down and they finally caught up to themselves.
After Your Session
The work does not stop when you leave. In the hours and days that follow your system continues to integrate what shifted during the session. Here is how to support that process:
Drink water and stay well hydrated. Be extra gentle, loving, and tender with yourself. Eat nourishing foods. Not necessarily what the world calls healthy, but what feeds your soul and sparks joy. Food that feels like an act of care. Pay attention to your dream space. Things that are ready to be processed often rise to the surface in dreams in the days following a session. Notice what comes through. Expect to sleep deeply and restfully. Give yourself permission to move slowly after your session if you can. The integration is part of the healing.
How to Prepare
Honestly, not much is required. Ember is designed to meet you exactly as you are.
Wear comfortable, loose clothing you feel relaxed in. Reduce stimulants like coffee on the day of your session if possible. Not required, just supportive. Bring an open heart and an open mind.
That is truly all.

About Your Guide
Hi! I am Charyl, a healing artist based in Santa Clara, CA.
For 20 years I have been in the room with people. First as a hairstylist, now fully as a healing artist. My mediums are reiki, hypnosis, sound, and hair. What I do is help women see the stories that have been quietly running their lives and shift them.
My own transformation happened largely alone, through years of descending into difficult terrain and finding my way back. What that means for you is that when you come into a session with me, you are working with someone who knows this terrain from the inside. Who can sit with you in the deeper places without flinching because she has already been there herself.
Ember is where a lot of beautiful souls begin with me.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that supports your body in finding its own balance. A practitioner uses light touch or holds their hands just above the body to help your system settle, release what it's been holding, and reconnect with its innate sense of ease. Think of it as a deeply restorative reset for your whole self.
-
Sessions are deeply relaxing and completely personalized to you. Some people feel warmth, tingling, or a cool sensation moving through the body. Others experience emotional releases, dreamlike imagery, or drift off to sleep. And some feel very little during the session itself, then notice something has shifted hours later. All of it is normal, and all of it is welcome. You stay fully clothed and rest on a comfortable treatment table the whole time.
-
Not at all! An open mind is all you need. Reiki meets you exactly where you are, regardless of your background, beliefs, or spiritual practice. If you're curious, that's more than enough.
-
That really depends on what you're working through. A single session can bring real relief and clarity. If you're navigating something deeper or longer-held, a series of sessions often creates more lasting change. We'll figure out what feels right for you together.
-
Absolutely. Reiki is gentle, non-invasive, and pairs beautifully with any other care you're already receiving, including medical treatment. There are no harmful side effects.
-
Reiki is for anyone ready to come home to themselves. Whether you're moving through something heavy like stress, grief, or burnout, or simply wanting to deepen your connection to your own sense of peace and power, there's a place for you here. Sometimes the most powerful reason to come in is just because it feels good to be held in that kind of intentional space.
