Lori Russo Ocampo

Lori Russo-Ocampo is a Reiki Master Practitioner who offers sessions through Reiki Healing Journeys. She describes her work as bringing relaxation, renewal and balance, and as supporting personal journeys of healing and transformation.

She completed a 544-hour Reiki program under Reiki Master Teacher Margaret Ann Case, founder of Reiki Arts Continuum, at the New York Open Center. Her Japanese Usui lineage runs from Mikao Usui through Hayashi, Takata, Ishikura, Robertson, Strauss and Case. She is an ordained minister with the Sanctuary of the Beloved, State of New York, and a member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals. She says she keeps studying and bringing new information about Reiki into her practice.

Lori is also an actress, producer, teacher and choreographer. She holds a BFA and is a member of Screen Actors Guild and Actors' Equity Association. Reiki came into her life in 2002, when she was acting and still struggling with grief after her mother's death the year before. A teacher told her she was missing joy in her voice and suggested Reiki. The experience moved her so deeply that she knew she wanted to help others in their search for healing. It was another three and a half years before she reached her first level.

Sessions can include guided meditation, aromatherapy and chakra balancing alongside Reiki. She presents Reiki as a spiritual practice that supports natural healing and does not replace care from a doctor or other licensed professional.
