Sekhem energy healing for Pāhoa residents runs 90 minutes, $222, online or in person by request with Jason Donaldson, who lives and works in Hawaiian Paradise Park along Highway 130. Sekhem is sometimes called Egyptian Reiki. It's an older, related lineage, not Reiki itself, and Jason, a certified master Sekhem Energy Practitioner trained through Juliet Carillo back to Gamal, a fifth-generation Egyptian alchemist, is direct about that distinction before anyone books.
Pāhoa's main street of wooden storefronts predates the 2018 lower Puna eruption by decades, and the town has long attracted people drawn to living differently than the mainstream allows. The eruption, which changed the landscape just east of town near Leilani Estates and Kapoho, deepened that character into something more grounded and less precious about permanence. Sekhem's own framework, working with what Jason calls the record of every lifetime held in the soul chakra above the head and the grounding earth chakra below the feet, resonates with a community that has lived through the ground itself changing shape.
What happens in a session
A Sekhem session starts with conversation about what's present for you, since the work often begins the moment you book, as dreams or small meaningful moments surface in the days leading up to the appointment. From there, grounding moves into deep relaxation, then the channeled energy work itself, hands over the body, sound and vibration, sage, cedar, and Egyptian oils. The Neteru, Horus the falcon, Sekhmet the lion, Thoth the ibis, Anubis as the way-shower of the inner world, show up differently depending on the person and the day. "I am merely the channel. They do the work," is how Jason describes his own role in it.
Afterward, there's time to journal, then a debrief where Jason shares what came through, sometimes with a card or two pulled for confirmation. The effects often continue for a few days to a week, through dreams or small realizations that arrive on their own.
Why Pāhoa clients choose Sekhem specifically
Given the town's lived experience with sudden geological upheaval, Sekhem's multidimensional framing, touching past, future, and parallel lives at what Jason calls a soul or monadic level, sometimes lands differently for Pāhoa clients than it might elsewhere. Experiences with Sekhem vary from person to person. Clients have described feelings of deep relaxation, warmth, emotional release, greater clarity, peacefulness, and a stronger sense of connection with themselves. Some people also describe physical sensations or shifts during or following a session. These experiences are personal and are not presented as expected or guaranteed outcomes. This work is complementary, never a replacement for medical or mental health care, and if what you're carrying feels larger than a single session, Spirit Guidance Mentoring offers ongoing weekly support.
A note on honesty around this offering
Energy work of any kind, including Sekhem booked from Pāhoa, is meant to sit alongside medical and mental health care, not replace it. Anyone in crisis should call or text 988, the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, before anything else.
Online or in person
Pāhoa sits on Highway 130, with Hawaiian Paradise Park along the same road toward Kea'au. Most Pāhoa clients book online. For in person, write first: Jason offers Sekhem at his small studio at 10am, 11am or noon, and can travel to a home by arrangement during regular business hours, within about 25 miles.
What makes Jason's Sekhem different
Jason's sessions draw on more than Sekhem training alone. He layers in his background in breathwork, his psychological training, and his use of sound and vibration, which he says shapes his version of the practice differently than another Sekhem practitioner's approach. Where Reiki tends to work with present-moment energy clearing, Sekhem reaches further into past, future, and parallel lives, a difference worth understanding if you came searching for Reiki specifically.

What clients from Pāhoa often bring into a session
Given the town's history, it's common for Pāhoa clients to arrive at a Sekhem session carrying something related to loss, change, or starting over, though plenty of others come simply out of curiosity with no particular story attached. Jason doesn't ask anyone to explain or justify why they're there. He notes that some things aren't meant to be removed in a session, because the process of walking through them is itself part of a person's path, and energy work supports that walk rather than shortcutting it.
The oils, sound, and sage
Sage and cedar enter most sessions at specific points, along with Egyptian oils carried through Jason's own lineage back to Gamal. Sound and vibration round out the sensory layer. None of these are decorative. They're part of the transmission itself, a practice handed down with these elements already woven in rather than layered on top as an afterthought.
How often Pāhoa clients return
Some clients book a single Sekhem session and feel complete with that. Others return every month or two, especially those working through something ongoing, treating it as part of a longer process rather than a single event. Jason leaves that pacing up to the client, checking in at the end of each visit rather than recommending a fixed schedule or a bundled package of sessions.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sekhem the same thing as Reiki?
No. Jason practices Sekhem, an older Egyptian-lineage tradition related to Reiki but distinct from it. See Sekhem vs Reiki for the differences.
Does Jason see clients in Pāhoa itself?
Not at a regular location. Pāhoa clients typically book online, or write to arrange a studio session or home visit.
Can Sekhem support processing the 2018 eruption?
Energy work can complement that process for people who find it useful, alongside whatever other support they already have. It is never a replacement for medical or mental health care.
What if I'd rather not travel at all?
Then online is the right fit. It is the same 90 minute format, and it is the main way Jason works with people right now.
How soon will I notice something after a session?
Timing varies from person to person. Some people notice something right away, others notice little at first, and none of it is presented as an expected or guaranteed outcome.
