OUR PRACTITIONERS:
When you step into a session with Neil, you enter a safe, supportive container—one that invites expression, vulnerability, and the release, free from judgment. Those feeling lost or without a clear sense of direction often leave their sessions feeling more aligned, empowered, and supported in making confident decisions in their lives.
Most sessions begin with a conversation about what you're currently experiencing and how you'd like to approach it, with Reiki as a central support. Each Reiki session is fully individualized. Clients remain fully clothed, and Reiki is offered through gentle human touch using the traditional hand positions. From there, Neil tailors the session to meet your unique needs per discussion and intuitively moves energy to parts of the body you may need support in. Many leave with a renewed sense of calm, love, and clarity—a reawakened connection with themselves and the world around them.
In addition to Reiki, Neil draws upon more than 40 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist. His extensive training includes Thai massage, Cranial Sacral Therapy (Level I), sports massage, and Russian massage. His work honors the full spectrum of healing—body, mind, and spirit. By collaborating with mental health professionals, Neil can also help connect clients with additional resources to support emotional and psychological well-being.
Neil holds space for a wide range of individuals on their healing journeys, including college students navigating stress and transitions, people moving through mental and emotional challenges, and those recovering from physical injuries. He gently supports individuals experiencing grief and loss, mothers and pregnant women, and those healing from early childhood trauma. Whether you're seeking grounding, clarity, or a deeper connection to your authentic self, Neil offers a compassionate, intuitive presence to help you reconnect with your purpose and inner peace.
Sarah has a long history of energy work spanning the last 26 years. She has trained under three different Usui Reiki teachers for each of her three levels of Reiki training. In 2024 she began her Reiki Master Training with Neil at Inner Peace Reiki. Receiving her Master Attunement from Neil gave her a sense of returning home to the true essence of herself. This provided a profound, deeper connection and understanding of the Energy.
Shortly after completing her Master Training with Inner Peace Reiki, Neil asked Sarah to join Inner Peace Reiki as a co-teacher with the Reiki Classes, and has had a close mentorship with him since. Sarah absolutely loves working with Neil and the students. She is very passionate about teaching Reiki and the Attunement process that is performed at each of the classes.
Sarah has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and has worked in the Missoula community as a Registered Nurse since 2013. She is honored to work with the Energy and help others who are seeking a more balanced and peaceful state of being. Sarah creates a safe and supportive environment for her clients so that a state of healing and release can occur. She has worked with clients who are seeking help with PTSD, trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, postpartum depression, energy blockages, as well as those who are needing a space for deep relaxation and release. She looks forward to assisting you on your path and helping you connect to the Energy in a way that is unique to you.
Elaina originally moved to Montana to pursue her Master’s degree in Environmental Studies. Along the way, she crossed paths with Neil and studied Reiki II under his guidance. Deeply inspired by the practice, she went on to complete her Reiki Master training. Reiki has become an important part of Elaina’s life, as she believes that everyone is worthy of healing and grounding energy.
Elaina will be practicing alongside Neil in their unique Two-to-One Reiki sessions. Both feel a natural synergy in their work, intuitively complementing each other’s energy and flow. Elaina finds that this dual-practitioner approach can offer a deeper and more balanced healing experience—simultaneously grounding and uplifting. Two-to-One Reiki can provide enhanced support and stability for those seeking energetic alignment and guidance.
When she’s not practicing Reiki, Elaina enjoys hiking with friends and immersing herself in books about sustainable food systems.
