Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District. He is part of the 123 Dental Association and stays up-to-date on the latest dental discoveries. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he’s enjoys hiking with his family in Rock Creek Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601826011417-22IWIYLD315CFZCOLZ2Y/IMG_9510.jpeg My Reiki Story https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601846530865-HOUO3UF292PI3O39WJX9/IMG_3160.jpeg My Reiki Story - So naturally I needed to learn more. I started out just wanting to be able to heal myself and my family, so I received my Level 1. But as I learned more, I became hungrier for more and more knowledge and practice. I couldn’t read and learn enough! I realized that I want to help more than just myself and my family with this amazing healing therapy, and I went on to complete my Level 2, and then my Reiki Masters. Since day one with Reiki I have felt called to use crystals in my Reiki healing sessions, so I went on to complete my Crystal Reiki Masters. From there I went on an even deeper dive into crystals and their healing energies, and became a Certified Crystal Healer. The journey didn’t end there. In March 2021 my Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. For eight months I was by her side daily, caring for her and spending time with her, and at the end of October she passed, just three weeks after she turned 58. I am so thankful to have had Reiki in my life before this all happened. While my Mom was sick, I had a Reiki room set up in her house. I practiced Reiki on her as often as she requested (which was often). We knew the Reiki would work where it was meant to. It did relieve much of her discomfort, and always left her feeling more rested and relaxed. She also did an absolutely incredible job at staying peaceful and free from anxiety during the entire journey. I have been using Reiki regularly to work through all the various emotions and energies making their way through my life and my soul. The times that I didn’t keep up with Reiki treatments were noticeably more challenging for me, and I am forever grateful for the ongoing benefits I receive from this practice. While losing my Mom is something I will always be dealing with and healing from, I am now prepared to continue to help my clients with their own challenges - because we ALL have them . Energy healing is an art, and I love how much there is to explore and learn as I continue to develop my skills. I would be honoured to support you as you ride the waves of your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601848086456-J416BT5E53S9XB6B37AS/Soul+Waves+Banner2.jpg My Reiki Story https://www.soulwaves.ca/whatisreiki daily 0.75 2020-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601815674228-3XOMMOP54F6JMGP6K8UP/41oDgzQWAVL._AC_SS350_.jpg What Is Reiki? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601818613304-TDG9WDH0V7VZXYNXUIF0/110034235_s-636x424.jpg What Is Reiki? - What to Expect from a Reiki Treatment https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601824054726-5Q9U2GBZYREU6CEWHP1G/18-01-28-chakras.jpg What Is Reiki? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601906134292-DB2CWI707SJKHIY7HDR7/Soul+Waves+Banner2.jpg What Is Reiki? https://www.soulwaves.ca/chakras daily 0.75 2020-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601822465111-WPGI88D6FC6D9MFCQH0J/421-4217929_illustration-hd-png-download.png.jpeg Chakras https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7645c794c00330dd7fcac4/1601822812097-V0DTZG7LZFOVHYA3NM44/kindpng_4965725.png Chakras - Root Chakra The first chakra is called the Root chakra, or Mulhadara.
