My name is Frederick (Freddy) Grissom and I am a certified Level I and Level II Reiki Practitioner. I practice the Usui style of Reiki, which was taught to me by my master, Nicole Adarna of Mauli Ola Reiki Healing. I practice Reiki daily which has improved my emotional well-being and overall physical health since I first began. I firmly believe in the healing power of Reiki and am honored to share it with others.

As a Reiki Practitioner, I do not diagnose illnesses, perform medical treatments, prescribe medication, or interfere with the treatments of a licensed healthcare professional. Reiki does not take the place of traditional medical care. Reiki should not be used as alternative healing; it is complementary to a patient’s existing treatment(s). The State of Hawaii does not recognize Reiki as an official healing alternative and it is recommended that you consult with a licensed healthcare professional if you are experiencing any physical or psychological issues.
