Sylvan Light Reiki
~ Distant Reiki for You and Your Pets ~
with Brielle Bartel
Hello
I’m Brielle, the practitioner behind Sylvan Light Reiki.
I offer distance Reiki sessions designed to help you feel calm, supported, and more connected to yourself, no matter where you are. My approach blends traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho with intuition, compassion, and a grounded, down-to-earth style that helps people feel comfortable from the very first session.
I believe healing does not have to feel mysterious or intimidating. Sometimes it simply feels like being deeply seen, cared for, and reminded that you do not have to carry everything alone.
My Story
My path to Reiki grew out of my own lived experience. For more than two decades, I navigated a wide range of health challenges, including infertility, breast cancer, a spontaneously detached retina, a heart condition, and more. During those years, I became deeply invested in learning about the body, healing, and the many layers of wellness that go beyond the physical.
Even as a child, I remember feeling that I should somehow be able to help heal sick animals with my hands. I did not know how or why, but that feeling stayed with me into adulthood. Through a lot of reading, researching, and what I will happily admit was a bit of an obsession with all things health-related, I eventually discovered Reiki. Finding my teacher and beginning my training felt like stepping into something that had been quietly waiting for me all along.
Today, I practice Usui Reiki Ryoho and am certified in Reiki Level I and II, with Master Reiki Practitioner and Teacher training coming in March 2026. I offer distance Reiki for both humans and animals, helping clients receive supportive healing energy from the comfort of their own homes. Distance Reiki may sound unusual at first, but energy is not limited by location. And honestly, receiving healing while in pajamas is one of life’s underrated joys.
Clients often describe feeling deeply relaxed, emotionally lighter, clearer in their thoughts, and more connected to themselves after a session. One of the most common things I hear is that they sleep incredibly well the night of their treatment, which never stops making me smile.
Reiki is intended to complement your overall wellness and is not a replacement for medical care, diagnosis, or treatment. I believe the most supportive healing happens when holistic practices and traditional healthcare work together.
Outside of Reiki, I’m a wife, mom, musician (with my husband), and devoted animal person. I understand how vulnerable it can feel to reach out for support. My intention is always to meet you with warmth, respect, and zero judgment. Whether this is your first experience with energy work or something you have explored before, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
