Reiki and Storyweaving combine to support healing, deepen relaxation, and open creative focus. Reiki trainings, storyweaving journeys, workshops, coaching.

Storyweaving is a relaxing, playful process that improves emotional, physical, and intellectual stamina while supporting clients in finding new joy and purpose in their lives. I developed this practical combination of mentoring, energy work and storytelling based on her research linking our personal narratives about our lives to the quality of life we experience as a result. When I became a Reiki Master, she found that Reiki's deep relaxation and energy balancing grounded the learning process, shortening the time needed to work through creative blocks and major life transitions, and increasing the depth of healing as people claimed their power.

"I can say with certainty that my two story-weaving sessions with Carol Burbank helped me to change my life. I was approaching a time of transition: 2 teenagers had just left home, I had finished a Master's Degree, I was coming to terms with the possibility of having to move to find a better job. I was out of questions. I had no dreams. After she described her work, I knew a session with her was what I needed. I specifically liked hearing about how the work affected each person differently because I knew the session would be geared to my needs and not just be a one-size-fits-all process. For the next couple of days, my vision was very clear on many things in my life: job, preparing to move, the relationship with my children, my art. It became clear also as to which paths not to follow. I found new dreams. I rediscovered things I cared about, but had confused with obligation and responsibility. I found magic again. Through it I have been able to connect with my soul, my unconscious, my true dreams. I have a future again. I began to make lists, do research and contact people. Now, almost two months later, I have quit my part-time job, sold my house, moved north to a city and state I love and found a teaching job which pays twice what I was making before. As an artist I am excited to see my work changing in rewarding ways. This is just the beginning. Now that the first transition has been made, I can think back to my storyweaving and know that those discoveries will guide me for a long time." Cynthia Herron, Oregon

"Carol is a caring, intuitive guide who will lovingly faciliate your journey inward. My experience was that each session helped me to access deeper levels of my own internal wisdom and guidance. As a result of working with Carol, a lot of my stuck energy was freed up, allowing me to make significant progress on a major writing project that had been gathering dust for months."
