Brooklyn-based Reiki healing

with Betsy Guttmacher:

energetic medicine for the whole you.

Reiki supports connectivity & capacity — our capacity to feel, to function, to be in right relationship with ourselves, our loved ones, and our world.

Simple. Silent. Transformative.

Hi, I’m Betsy.

My approach to Reiki is collaborative and supportive. We work without judgement or expectation. We let Reiki nourish, release, and surprise.

Together we shift mountains big and small. And, sometimes we simply rest to enjoy the view. Laughter, tears, all the things in between. Reiki always brings just what you need in the moment.

My practice centers self-healing and coming home to your intuition. Our work together fosters physical, emotional, and spiritual radiance.

Betsy Guttmacher (she/her)

I am a Reiki Master certified in the Usui Reiki Lineage by Maha Rose Healing Center.

My expansive holistic training and certification includes MINKA Brooklyn’s Earth Evolution Reiki & Consciousness of Radical Equity Training (CORE), Awaking Prana Level 2, Therapeutic Touch (™) level 1, and Craniosacral Therapy 1 & 2 with Jonathan Brusollo.

My practice is centered on increasing our capacity for self-healing and emotional regulation with an emphasis on stress management, addiction recovery and physical/mental/emotional resilience.

I have practiced Reiki in western medical settings including Yale New Haven Hospital and NYC HHC Coler Hospital Dementia unit, and with community based organizations including the Park Slope Center for Successful Aging, and Heights and Hills Caregiver and Case Management programs.

 I am a regular practitioner for the MINKA Brooklyn Community Reiki Clinic and volunteers with Maha Rose’s Brooklyn Community Reiki.

She am also a founding member of the Wise Up workshop facilitation team and co-lead Brooklyn Pop-Up Reiki with Boshko Bo.

Before practicing Reiki full-time, Betsy worked in NYC’s government, non-profit and philanthropy sectors developing programs, shaping policy and managing volunteers at all stages and ages.

I am committed to the practice of reiki as an act of service:  we practice in service to ourselves, each other, our global ecosystem, and our cosmos.

Kind Words

  • Just wanted to say thanks again for our session yesterday. I have NO menstrual cramps and few body aches which is totally unusual for me. My anxiety levels are almost zero which is also unusual, and I’ve been pretty focused and on-purpose today. That was a great session! - Jenny Hobbs

  • Regular reiki sessions with Betsy have been balancing and rejuvenating. A true healer, she is deeply caring and highly intuitive. She has a gift for connecting, often naturally attuning to areas within me that need attention. Betsy has a warm, calming presence and I would recommend working with her especially if you're new to reiki and are looking for a nurturing space that feels safe and welcoming. - Sebene Selassie

  • Betsy is compassionate, easy to talk to and kind. The way she practices is gentle, but with powerful energy and real sincerity. I gave Reiki a try just on a whim but I find myself wanting more and more sessions with Betsy in my life. - Aaron Schultz
