Joanie Graf
I’m a certified Reiki practitioner with a deep sensitivity to energy and a passion for helping others reconnect with their inner balance. My journey with Reiki began during one of the most challenging times in my life, and it transformed everything. It sharpened my intuition, restored my confidence, and guided me back to myself. That experience inspired me to dedicate my life to sharing this healing art with others.
I first trained through Lisa Powers in a more Western approach to Reiki, and I am now deepening my practice through in-person studies in traditional Japanese Reiki at Simply Reiki in Zurich. This blend of teachings allows me to offer both a grounded and intuitive approach, rooted in the ancient origins of Reiki while honoring its modern applications. Alongside my Reiki work, I am also studying nursing, which strengthens my understanding of both the energetic and physical aspects of healing.
I specialize in supporting those navigating fear, emotional blocks, long-term trauma, and challenges that prevent energy from flowing freely. I usually recommend beginning with an initial session which includes a personalized assessment followed by an aura and chakra cleansing. From there, I suggest deciding which session to do next based on your specific needs. My fear-based packages come in a set of five shorter sessions.
My intention is to guide clients toward remembering their own ability to heal, because true healing always begins within. I look forward to meeting you in love and light.

Fear Based Japanese Reiki Bundle (5 sessions)
I completed a five session Fear Based Reiki series with Joanie, and each session carried its own purpose and depth that built on the one before it. By the end, the entire journey felt cohesive, supportive, and very intentional.
Session 1
Before we started, Joanie explained how the session would flow and why lying down with a straight spine helps the energy move freely. I drifted into a dreamy, relaxed state where I felt gentle twitches in my hands and feet and waves of warmth and tingling that would rise and fade. In the days after, some of the fears we focused on resurfaced, but in a way that helped me understand them through who I am now rather than who I was when they began.
Session 2
This session worked more on my physical body, though I only learned that afterward. Even in a half asleep state, I could feel internal movement, almost like something was being worked on beneath the surface. I went into the session in a lot of pain and woke up without any. I have had many reiki sessions and this was the strongest physical release I have felt, not in a scary way, but in a very clear and noticeable way.
Session 3
This session brought a lot of sensation. Heat and tingling moved through my body in waves and I could feel the energy shifting within me in a very present way. There were moments where it felt like certain areas were activating or opening, almost like awareness was being drawn to places that had been holding tension or fear. It felt deep, clear, and grounding.
Session 4
This session came through visually. I saw things very clearly, with fewer physical sensations and more imagery that later connected to things I have been processing. The visuals felt meaningful and symbolic, almost like my mind and energy were showing me pieces I needed to understand in a different way. It carried a quiet clarity, and by the end I felt calm, centered, and aware of something deeper settling into place.
Session 5
The final session felt like a full circle moment. There was a strong sense of completion, almost like a chapter within me was finally ready to close. The energy felt steady and clear, as if everything we had worked through in the previous sessions was integrating and settling into place. It carried a feeling of release mixed with relief, like something I had been holding for a long time no longer had the same weight. I ended the session feeling lighter, more centered, and very aware of the shift that had taken place.
Overall reflection
Fear Based Reiki helped me meet what I had been holding with more clarity and strength. I feel more grounded in who I am, clearer about what actually matters, and more able to release control and surrender where I need to.
