ABOUT THE WORK
What You May Experience
Gentle, consent-led sessions blend Reiki, Kundalini awareness, Tantric energy principles, hypnosis-informed suggestion, breathwork, and meditation. We begin with a brief, focused conversation to clarify your intentions and where attention is most needed—many clients find this dialogue itself grounding and clarifying.
Clients report a felt sense of calm and care, increased clarity, and renewed flow in the body’s energy centers. Some notice a deeper connection to their inner energy—including moments of awakening—and a softening of long-held patterns.
- Deep relaxation & nervous-system ease
- Release of stuck patterns; restored energetic flow
- Clearer mind and renewed focus
- Grounded breath, presence, and body awareness
Disclaimer: The experience of energy in this work is inherently subjective and varies from person to person. From a scientific standpoint, current physical models provide limited explanations for subtle-energy phenomena. In parallel with my practice, I participate in research efforts aimed at better characterizing the effects and potential benefits of energy work. Sessions are complementary and non-medical; they are not a substitute for professional healthcare. Experiences vary, and no outcomes are guaranteed.

The Homarts Method — What You Can Expect
We begin with a brief, focused conversation to clarify your intentions and where attention is most needed—many clients find this dialogue itself grounding and clarifying. Then you receive a tailored blend of the six practices below, paced to your comfort, followed by grounding and simple after-care so you can carry the calm into your daily life.
1- Breathwork
Simple, comfortable breath cues—diaphragmatic and nasal—help settle the nervous system and integrate shifts at the beginning and end of the session. If needed, we may incorporate more intensive breathwork to deepen release.
2- Reiki
Gentle, hands-on (or hands-off) Usui Reiki. I begin with Byōsen scanning to sense areas that most need attention, then move through standard hand placements from head to feet, holding each area until the byōsen settles.
3- Kundalini Rising
Grounded attention, breath, and gentle sequencing invite natural base-to-crown flow of vitality and presence. Kundalini is latent energy at the spine’s base that awakens through the central channel (sushumna) under certain conditions.
4- Tantric Principles
Sacred attention, containment, and circulation of subtle energy—consent-led and non-sexual—to support whole-body awareness. May help soften trauma-related blockages and gently reawaken natural sexual vitality.
5- Hypnotic Suggestions
Light, optional suggestions and guided imagery that deepen calm and openness. While fully aware and in control; deep relaxation may naturally shift into a trance-like state that’s ideal for re-programming the subconscious.
6- Meditation
A brief guided meditation at the end helps you wind down, integrate, and carry the benefits into daily life. The key takeaway for the rest of your life is a simple habit of presence in stillness to quiet the mind and soften reactivity.
Sessions Carefully Tailored to You—designed around your conditions, intentions, boundaries, and preferences
Flexible Session Formats
Sessions are most commonly done lying down, but can also be seated or standing—and may include gentle movement, Qi Gong, or moving meditation—depending on your needs and energetic conditions.
Energy First — Beyond Touch
I invite most clients to begin hands-off (beaming) so you can sense energy without the layer of physical touch—many of us learn to associate energy with touch sensations and lose the ability to distinguish them. If you already have an awakened Kundalini and discern your inner energy—or simply prefer it—we can add light, consented touch at key points (head, heart, etc.) within clear boundaries.
Prenatal Reiki — Comfort & Care
Off-body (beaming) hand placements focus on comfort and ease. Gentle and adjustable positions, calm breath, support relaxation and balanced flow—complementary to, not a replacement for, prenatal care.
Reiki for All Ages
Reiki one of the most gentle healing modalities, widely regarded as safe for all ages—including elderly and kids. Sessions are adult-supervised, simple, and soothing; perfect for quieting, settling, and restoring ease.
Group Reiki & Corporate Wellness
With an engineering background, I understand workplace needs. I design on-site or virtual sessions—Reiki beaming, breath breaks, and guided stillness—that deliver calm, focus, and team care.
Why healing became my calling?
“[Since childhood], I longed for safe, reliable, nurturing love… During our session you tended to my throat and wounded heart and held me in a steady embrace. You created a safe and loving container for my deepest healing. I felt honey dripping from my shoulders through my throat… down my spine. My tears and my body slowly began unraveling in a way that had never occurred before. The next morning, for the first time in three years [since the passing of my husband], I woke without instinctual sorrow. You offered not only CLARITY but PEACE, and helped me name my purpose with clarity. I am still experiencing the effects days later. From my soul to yours: this is your purpose… this is your gift.”
Monica
Reiki Energy Healer
My name is Jeff and I am a Reiki Master who has been experiencing some stuck emotions. As a healer I find it easy to support and guide others. Yet when it comes to my own healing it requires more of a conscious effort to apply everything I know to myself. Alireza offered me a healing that allowed me to really drop in, relax and receive. He was great at holding space and creating an environment where I felt safe to release and express what had been stuck for quite some time. The healing carried over through the night and into the next few days where raw emotions that had been buried were coming back up to the surface.
I recommend working with Alireza!
Jeff
Reiki Master
I had a great experience with Alireza’s healing practice. I’ve been dealing with lower back pain for a while, and his unique approach — combining massage techniques with Qi Gong energy work — helped me feel more relaxed and balanced afterward. What I really appreciated was his calm and focused energy during the session. It didn’t feel rushed or routine; it felt personal and intentional.
He’s also someone I know and trust from work — a genuinely good person with a caring attitude. I’d recommend his healing practice to anyone who’s open to trying something a bit different and looking for natural support for their body and mind.
Zhi
Scientist
Dear reader, as you are reading these testimonials—which to this day still bring me tears of joy and a renewed sense of purpose—please keep in mind that the experience of energy work is very subjective. Ever since I took great steps in my own healing journey, I started helping others with theirs. This was a passion of mine, just like dancing is. Then I met people who were very seriously tending to their wounds—just as I had for many years with little success—until I had my breakthrough. For those people, my gift was drastic, noticeable, and very much life-changing. I had to respond to their appreciation with the reminder that it was they who allowed the gift of healing to move through them. I was only the facilitator, the space-holder, the lucky witness to the magic that unfolded.
These individuals were among the people with whom I have had incredible success. They made me consider leaving my six-figure salary and decades of education (yes: B.S., M.S., Ph.D., Postdoc, professional certificates, awards—you name it, I have it) behind to pursue a new career from scratch. But please do not forget: YOU are the only person who can heal yourself.
The reason I have learned and worked with so many healing modalities is that my own journey into healing was long, and many times I felt that while the session or retreat was great and helpful, it was less than what was advertised—the experience did not live up to the hype. I had to work through that feeling of hurt and betrayal to keep my faith in the positive effects of these modalities and my trust in the good intentions of facilitators and healers. I want to help you without giving you a shred of that feeling of hurt and betrayal.
If you are feeling extreme pain, or stuck patterns you’ve been dealing with for years, yes—you too can be another success story, as long as you take full responsibility for your own life and don’t believe anyone but you can change it. If YOU are committed to doing the work on your own, then I will be honored to walk alongside you and bless you with a gift I feel called—at this moment in your life—to pass on to you.
-Alireza Saatchi, Homa Healing Arts
About Alireza Saatchi, Ph.D.:
I was born in Isfahan, Iran. Professionally, I trained as a material scientist and worked as an engineer. For much of my life I learned to abandon my own feelings and put others first—family, culture, society. That people-pleasing shaped me into an empath who often attracted narcissistic dynamics (like fitting Lego pieces): I got hurt and didn’t acknowledge the hurt, pursuing a life that looked “perfect” from the outside but wasn’t mine.
About five years ago, everything changed. During a tantric practice with my partner—one I didn’t believe in at all before doing—I felt the subtle energy for the first time. I am very capable of gaslighting myself and dismiss what I felt myself, but what I felt passed through my partner and her body responded to it linearly, that part, I was incapable of logically denying. It opened parts of me I’d closed for years. (I used to meditate with Hindu friends and think, “What even are chakras?”) At the time, living out of alignment, I had psychosomatic pain all over. I was cycling weekly through doctors, chiropractor, massage, acupuncture, therapy—and bi-monthly psychiatry. A few months before that energy experience, I’d realized I couldn’t outsource my healing; I began telling providers what I needed rather than reciting problems.
That first tantric experience sent me down the rabbit hole of “what just happened?” and within days I woke into what felt like a near-psychotic state of perception—seeing the world differently, with pain and other symptoms falling away. I later learned language for it: Kundalini awakening. It was the first time I heard the call to become a healer. I vowed not to return to engineering—a vow I broke a few months later under the weight of debt. And yet, that return funded the next chapter: I grew into my identity as a dancer and healer, working with some of the best in the world on both paths—not just through workshops, seminars, and congresses, but also through many hours of 1-to-1 training and coaching with leading teachers worldwide.

Today, how I work
I hold quiet, consent-led sessions that meet you where you are—sometimes still, sometimes gently moving; sometimes hands-on, often hands-off. My engineering background keeps me curious and grounded; my arts background keeps me attuned and creative. I don’t promise outcomes. I offer presence, clear boundaries, and practices that invite relaxation, clarity, and flow.
Complementary, non-medical practice; experiences vary and no outcomes are guaranteed.
About Homa:
When the Homa of love casts its shadow upon you,
it raises you from the dust to the heights of heaven’s throne. — Rumi
In Persian mythology and Sufi symbolism, Homa is the name of a mystical bird with unique and fascinating characteristics. The bird, once risen from the ground, keeps flying with no need to rest or descend, symbolizing its never-ending yearning for the divine. Once its shadow is cast upon someone, it brings kingship, luck, and prosperity. In Persian literature and poetry it symbolizes the constant yearning for the divine, ascension, and a visible sign of invisible blessing.
When I accidentally stumbled upon the healing power of internal energies, I let go of decades-old physical and psychological problems and woke up to the entirety of my own being. There was no turning back, and life was never the same.
Homa is also the name of my friend, mentor, and spiritual mother, who played an instrumental role in my path.

Frequently Asked Questions?
Here are some FAQs but please don’t hesitate to contact me for any further question or schedule a free consultation call today.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a complementary practice in which the practitioner places hands lightly on—or just above—the body to support the client’s own relaxation and healing response. In biofield terms, Reiki is grouped with hands-on/near-body therapies that aim to influence the body’s subtle organizing fields; scholars describe the “biofield” as an emergent, system-level regulator of physiology, though mechanisms remain under study. Recent evidence is cautiously encouraging: a 2024/25 meta-analysis of 11 RCTs (n=661) found improved quality of life for Reiki vs. control (SMD≈0.28), with the strongest effects in protocols of ≥8 sessions ≥60 min or brief acute sessions ≤20 min; other best-evidence syntheses report reductions in pain and anxiety with biofield therapies. U.S. health agencies still classify the evidence as mixed and emphasize that Reiki is low risk and not a medical treatment or substitute for care.
What are the benefits of Reiki?
Evidence syntheses report small but significant improvements in quality of life, with the strongest signals when protocols use either ≥8 sessions of ≥60 minutes or brief acute sessions ≤20 minutes; other reviews note reductions in pain and anxiety in some populations. In practice, many clients also report discovering subtle energies they hadn’t noticed before and using that awareness as self-healing cues (breath, posture, rest), along with greater calm, clarity, and sense of direction—while recognizing that experiences vary and outcomes aren’t guaranteed. Reiki is used as a complement to standard care, not a substitute.
What happens in a typical session?
We begin with a brief, focused conversation to clarify intentions and comfort levels. Then I work head to toe, recommending mostly hands-off (beaming) with occasional light hands-on placements—everything consented and with clear boundaries. Sessions usually run 60–90 minutes and close with simple grounding and after-care.
How many sessions do people usually book?
It depends on your goals and how your system responds. Many clients start with 3–5 sessions (spaced 1–2 weeks apart) to evaluate benefits; others prefer a longer series (e.g., 8+ sessions of ~60–90 minutes). We’ll tailor a plan to you after the first visit. While I’ve had single-session successes, results vary and I don’t promise outcomes—one session can sometimes meet a goal or set a grounded path toward it.
Is Reiki safe? Any side effects?
Major U.S. sources describe Reiki as low risk, and clinical reviews rarely report adverse events; none were noted across multiple trials and overviews (though formal adverse-event tracking is often limited). Typical reactions are benign (sleepiness, warmth, calm). Reiki is complementary and should not replace medical care.
What does the science say?
The evidence base is mixed but includes encouraging signals. A 2025 meta-analysis of 11 RCTs (n=661) found a small but significant improvement in quality of life (SMD≈0.28), with the strongest effects in protocols using either ≥8 sessions ≥60 min or brief acute sessions ≤20 min. Other syntheses on biofield/Reiki report reductions in pain and anxiety in some populations, alongside null findings and calls for higher-quality trials. Overall: promising for QOL, pain, and anxiety in select contexts; mechanisms remain under study within the biofield framework.
Do you offer distance Reiki? What does the research show?
Yes—distance (remote) sessions follow the same structure (brief check-in, quiet rest period, debrief). Small controlled studies suggest remote Reiki can help with state anxiety or stress in specific settings, though results are not uniform and sample sizes are modest. As with in-person work, it’s considered low risk and complementary.
