Introducing Asha Surti, HHA's New Reiki Practitioner

We are thrilled to welcome Asha Surti to the Hudson Healing Arts family. Through the healing art of Reiki, Asha is passionate about empowering clients in mind, body, and spirit.
 
According to Asha, the beautiful thing about Reiki is that everyone has the ability to connect with this healing energy. Through a gentle “laying-on” of hands on a series of body points, Reiki helps activate your body’s natural healing process and restore emotional wellbeing.
 
“I enjoy connecting with people, hearing their unique stories, helping them regain inner strength and promoting independence through a holistic, client-centered approach,” she says.
 
Read on to learn more about what a Reiki session with Asha is like!
 
Asha’s background  
Asha always felt called to go into a healing path. Her beloved aunt Urmila Surti, a well-respected Reiki healer in India, served as her lifelong inspiration. Asha’s desire to facilitate healing first led her to become an occupational therapist, where she worked with patients from a variety of backgrounds and realized her passion for taking a holistic approach (that is, assessing the individual as a whole).
 
A desire to go even deeper into holistic healing led her to Chiang Mai, Thailand, where she trained with top Reiki Master Nicholas Harris in 2016. She’s now certified as a 9th generation Reiki Master.
 
Asha enjoys working with clients of all ages, including kids. Having personally experienced the debilitating effects of depression, she has a special passion for working with individuals dealing with anxiety and depression.
 
“Energy work is so powerful for increasing your quality of life,” she says. “With Reiki healing, most clients see a significant reduction in anxiety after just a few sessions. Other benefits include a greater sense of balance, mental clarity and less ‘chatter,’ and subtle changes in patience and relationships.”
 
What a session with Asha is like
Asha is excited to welcome Reiki clients at Hudson Healing Arts on Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. If you’re interested in scheduling a session, the first step is a brief phone consultation.
Reiki sessions with Asha are typically two hours long. During that time, her priority is providing a safe and compassionate space for you to release your stress and emotions. Elements of Shamanism are utilized in her Reiki sessions for deeper clearings, and to obtain deeper guidance and insights. This may include accessing spirit guides, ancestors, and animal spirits. Asha also embraces elements from the Earth such as fire, water, stones/crystals, feathers for clearing purposes, shells and more to calm your energy field.  
Based on what comes up, Asha will also share spiritual guidance and suggestions on how to maintain your health.
“We all have an energetic body, which means every single one of us has access to Reiki. It’s the safest, most loving energy someone can get,” she says. “Often, people leave feeling a lot lighter. Even though we go deep, there’s a sense of relief. I love showing my clients that they don’t have to go outside of themselves to heal - it truly comes from within.”
In her free time, Asha loves to write, hike, enjoy nature, and immerse herself in her community. She is also passionate about leading cacao ceremonies and running healing retreats in Sedona, Hawaii, and Bali throughout the year.
