SF Reiki Center

Several years ago, I had a bad fall and hurt my knee. Nothing was helping. A friend suggested I contact Christopher, and I had my first session with him. His calm presence and soothing energy were immensely relaxing, right away. As he started to work on my knee, I felt a gentle movement. I left that session feeling so relaxed, and my knee felt so much better. It’s continued to improve since!
Reiki is really quite amazing. It’s super woo and all, and I don’t really get how it works, but hey, I don’t understand how cell phones work either, and I use mine all the time!
I highly recommend Christoper as a gentle healing force in the world. On his table, you feel like everything is gonna be alright.

Reiki entered my life as a suggestion. It was suggested to me by a few close individuals who have guided me along my journey of achieving balance. I was told I should look into the practice and so I became curious to learn more. My vibrations drew me to the SF Reiki Center, where I met Christopher. I initially went for a session during the Sunday clinic which was a low barrier to entry, since the cost was relatively affordable or rather donation based. In that first experience, I saw cobalt blue flashes during my treatment and walked away not knowing what I was supposed to experience or feel, but in the days preceding knew something in my energy had lifted.
Today Reiki remains in my life as an energy source I go to replenish my own energy. Whether I’m emotionally, physically, mentally, or entirely exhausted across all horizons, Reiki revitalizes my energy. But at SF Reiki Center, it’s not just about the Reiki, its about the healer. Christopher has the kind, humane, gentle energy where his care and genuine concern to alleviate you of your tension touches your entire being with compassion. When I go to SF Reiki and see Christopher I am filled with gratitude for his touch, an all encompassing touch that heals your soul, your spirit, and your heart. I always leave lifted and enlightened.
While the art of healing via Reiki is a journey, one whose benefits aren’t always apparent or effects immediately felt, it’s also about being comfortable with the practitioner offering the healing. The relationship you form with a healer is critical to realizing the success of your journey and I couldn’t have found a better partner to carry me through the process than Christopher. I entirely encourage and strongly recommend him as a Reiki Healer.

Christoper is a kind soul and intuitive healer. I have been working with Christopher for nearly a year and the difference has been amazing. Christopher has helped me to mend my mental health well-​being. He has and continues to compassionately and intelligently lead me to find my own way forward. His help has also provided me relief from physical ailments. He has become a life coach and Reiki teacher to me, as well.
I am very grateful for Christopher’s help and highly recommended him if you are seeking to improve you mental and physical well-​being through Reiki.

I started going to SF REIKI CENTER when I felt a bit stuck in my life. Since receiving Reiki, it really helped me to move past a few personal things and I really was able to release. I started going through major changes that I had been working towards and was able to achieve certain goals because I wasn’t as phased by the level of frustration, stress and anxiety that I have previously coped with my entire life. I started learning Reiki as a result, primarily because I don’t think I fully understood it.
Christopher is both practical and spiritual, his treatment has strong impact. He is very precise, considerate and sensitive to new clients. I know that I was pretty skeptical about the impact coming in, but his approach changed that. I’ve been able to tame a lot of energy and feel a stronger sense of self which has allowed me to make major life changes. I have been working with Christopher for the past year as a client and as a student which has had a lasting impact on my own personal life and what I am now able to give to friends and family as a healing tool.

You’re in good hands here. Literally.
Christopher is kind, compassionate, an experienced clinician, and just a wonderful person to spend time with an get to know. I lucked into the place. Google set us up when I wanted to take a Reiki class. The class & Christopher and Brian, the Master instructor, far exceeded my expectations. And then I came back and learned Reiki II.
I’ve done a great deal of healing/​body work over the years, and I’ve become particular about what qualities I’m looking for in a practitioner. At its heart, I’m looking for someone who has my best interests in mind and who walks his/​her talk. Like I said, I’ve had my expectations exceeded.
Not only did I enjoy the classes, I have come to value the community Christopher builds among the students, i.e., a monthly get together, a weekly opportunity to help out in the clinic. He’s supportive and invested in all of us improving our skills. And he’s quick with a text to respond to a question or comment I may have.
I just feel very grateful to have (well, pretty randomly) found SF Reiki Center. I can’t say enough good things about the place. Nor can I say enough good about the role that reiki now plays in my life in knitting my life together in a smoother way, in helping me feel more connected to my loved ones and friends, and the good that’s out there.

Although I have a leaning towards spirituality, and despite the fact that I have a sister who is a Reiki master, I had actually never given Reiki a second thought. It never sounded like «my thing» and I silently deemed it too «woo woo»… even for me. But after a two-​year struggle with some intestinal issues, a psychic I visited in July, 2013 suggested I study Reiki as a means of healing myself. Her words really spoke to me and I immediately started searching San Francisco for Reiki practitioners/​teachers. After much research, my intuition landed me with Christopher Tellez of SF Reiki Center. I approached Christopher about classes, which weren’t scheduled to start for several months and decided to receive Reiki in the interim. My first impression of Christopher online (be sure to watch the video interview he has on his website) was equally matched by my first impression of Christopher in person. He is warm, compassionate and gifted. He knows what he is doing and is truly passionate about Reiki. He is the real deal! I have been coming to Christopher for Reiki almost every two weeks now for the past year. I have also studied under Christopher as well. My personal experience of Reiki is that it’s subtle and gentle but very powerful. I tend to think of it as akin to laser surgery, zapping the physical and psychic toxins in my body, and cleansing and balancing me from within. With Christopher’s help (and from giving myself lots of Reiki, which one can learn to do), I’m happy to report that my intestinal issues are now gone. If you’re considering Reiki — as a first-​timer or not — I strongly encourage you to seek out Christopher.

As a fellow Reiki practitioner, I sought out Christopher initially in a networking capacity and have since been happy to become friends with him and receive treatments at SF Reiki Center. Christopher is incredibly warm and welcoming, and he is a professional and powerful Reiki practitioner. He truly cares about his clients and is always striving to improve his skills and business.
SF Reiki Center’s approach is traditional, practical, and effective — great for anyone new to Reiki as well as those with experience. Whether you’re seeking relief from chronic or acute pain, working through mental or emotional issues, in need of some relaxation, or looking for a boost to your wellness program, Reiki can help, and I highly recommend Christopher at SF Reiki Center!

What a great experience. Christopher is professional and personable and definitely knows his craft/​art of healing. Reiki was a mystery to me before I started seeing Christopher. He is great about explaining things to me. He’s does check ins the day after treatment, so appreciated. Love the Sunday clinics and the sliding a scale that day. Reiki is amazing

I came to Christopher for my first Reiki experience and I’m hooked! I had a number of lingering stress related concerns that Christopher has helped me address in a healthy and natural way. I feel renewed and energized after each treatment. He’s thoughtful, compassionate, and caring, and I always feel comfortable in his healing hands. Go see him!

A good friend of mine referred me to the SF Reiki Center in the hopes that I might find a way to heal and better move through life transitions that I was experiencing. I went to the clinic on a Sunday night and met Sasha and Christopher. Immediately I felt at ease, supported, and really heard when I told my story. I learned and continue to learn that the path to healing is within and to trust that and yourself. I continue to go to the clinic on Sunday evenings and find it immensely helpful in finding my own way towards balance and peace.

I’m always a skeptic about energy work, or really anything that isn’t tangible, or that I haven’t directly experienced. So, naturally, reiki wasn’t my first instinct when it came to body work. As it turns out, reiki is great and Christopher is pretty magical. If someone had told me what reiki had been like for them (perhaps it’s different for everyone), I would’t have necessarily believed them. I would’ve never believed that a touch so gentle could move so many things around. Or that I’d feel things as intense as I’ve felt, on a deep deep level that I can only describe as supraphysical, although you do actually physically feel it as well.
I would highly recommend reiki to anyone with physical or spiritual ailments, anger management problems, addiction, etc etc etc. Christopher is very intuitive and compassionate, and can help you work on your inner feng shui, perhaps even if you don’t believe in that kind of thing. He is a master of his art, and you will leave feeling calm, relaxed, and perhaps even a little like you just got high.

I’ve seen Christopher for reiki three times now and all were great experiences! I was new to reiki and felt very comfortable. My first session I was a bit skeptical but realized that you can only really receive the benefits if you let go of that and let Christopher do his work. The second and third visits were really amazing. Christopher is great and very serious about what he does and is very welcoming. I highly recommend him!

Christopher is an incredible healer with a clear passion for his practice. I highly recommend this transformative experience!

SF Reiki Center is my little home away from home.
Not in the sense that I spend a lot of time there. But more in the sense that the space, the people, and the healing that occurs there welcomes me back like only a home can.
Healing happens when you think it can. At SF Reiki center, you are encouraged to feel around and explore your path with the help of some intensely kind, energetic and down to earth (really – no one is too «out there»!) people.
What a blessing this place has been.

Christopher is a great reiki practitioner and fellow colleague. In session he is exceptionally kind, a great listener and very focused.
The SF Reiki Center space feels safe and calm when I come for treatments. Depending on how much time I have to spare I have enjoyed both the 30 minute Sunday Clinic sessions and the private 90 minute sessions.
Reiki has been a transformative element in my life. It has helped me heal things mentally, spiritually and physically. It is a constant in my life that I, also a practitioner under Usui’s Reiki, can not imagine my life without.
I received my first treatment in New York City from Brian Brunius. Upon moving to San Francisco a year and a half ago I was put into touch with Christopher and have been going to and working with him since.
Now is the time my friends. If you have ever been interested in leaning more SF Reiki Center is the place to do it.
Note: Should you be interested in learning about how you can practice Reik, i weekend classes are offered every three months with the next one October 19^th and 20^th.

I had a transformative session with Christopher. His intuition is spot on! I felt so much movement within my body. Many blockages seemed to melt away.
A day later I am still integrating the great results. I highly recommend Christopher for healing, health, and relaxation.

i highly recommend christopher. he is a caring and skilled practitioner.
i was surprised at how both relaxing and powerful the treatment was. our session was beneficial to my body and my spirit.
you should check him out!

I am grateful that I have met Chris! He has such a gentle, sweet energy!
Only having done one Reiki session before, I was a novice and not sure what to expect. Christopher explained that one of the healing health benefits of Reiki it to provide stress reduction and relaxation which can help us trigger our own healing abilities.
I was surprised how little touch was involved in this practice. Chris has healing hands. When he placed his hands over specific points, I felt a transference of warm, calming, focusing energy. After my session I was relaxed and stress free like he said I would be. I felt light, balanced, and energized. I slept very well that evening.
Chris is intuitive as well. I was impressed at the end of the session when he mentioned he felt blockages around the knee. I had been experiencing some light knee/​hip pain recently which I was already working on with another healing practitioner.
I was very happy with my Reiki session. Thanks Chris!

Christopher has a wonderfully positive and uplifting energy. He is an empathetic listener with a great amount of love. The short Reiki treatment I received from him while I was sick was soothing and healing. More remarkable to me, his work on my poor over anxious cat calmed her personality down and made her noticeably happier. Yes. My cat. I highly recommend Christopher’s services!

I received my first remote Reiki session from Christopher after severally spraining my ankle while on vacation in Hawaii. After an initial phone conversation he was able provide immediate relief. While quite devastated to have my trip plans change from outdoor activities to sitting; I found Reiki to be calming, and helped me focus on enjoying where I was. Each session served as a reminder that I would heal.
The feedback he gave me after my second session had me quite intrigued as he pointed out my knee was also in need of healing. When I returned to the mainland and was seen by my local doctor, sure enough my knee was thrown out of whack as well.
I soon found out I needed to have ankle surgery and Christopher has been by my virtual side since then. I’ve enjoyed and benefited from the calming and soothing affects of Reiki throughout this recovery and can’t wait to see his new practice space.
