Are you ready to experience a breakthrough in emotional, physical, and spiritual alignment?
Gentle trauma release. Nervous system reset. Deep energetic calm.

The Ancient Black Pearl Technique is a hands-on, trauma-informed energy balancing method that works directly with your amygdala — the brain’s emotional processing hub — as well as the nervous, neurovascular, and subtle energetic systems. It helps your body shift out of fight-or-flight, restore emotional equilibrium, and release deep-rooted stress.
When these systems are soothed, many practitioners describe the experience as helping the body shift from stress and hypervigilance toward a calmer, more balanced state. Within the teaching tradition of this technique, the amygdala is symbolically compared to a black pearl — peaceful, balanced, and resilient. This is where true healing begins.
Whether you’re looking for a deeply restorative session or feel called to learn this technique for yourself and others, you’re in the right place.

The Ancient Black Pearl Technique is available as:
• 💆‍♀️ Individual 90-minute sessions (in person or distance) For distance sessions, I send an email to make sure you are resting for the duration of session. https://ladybugwellness.as.me/BPearl
• 📘 Black Pearl Manual — Available as a stand-alone purchase. Includes illustrations, reference charts, and supporting information from the workshop. Manual cost may be credited toward future workshop registration.
• 📘 A self-paced online workshop, where you’ll also learn two complementary techniques: CCMBA and C7VAT

💆‍♀️ Book a Black Pearl Session

Experience deep nervous system reset with Ladybug Wellness
You can experience the Black Pearl Technique through a 90-minute private session, available in person or remotely.
This session is a hands-on, meridian-based therapy that works with the amygdala, neurovascular points, and energetic circuits of the body. You’ll likely feel deeply relaxed — many clients even fall asleep — while your energy field gently rebalances and your nervous system resets.
🐞 Schedule your session here: https://ladybugwellness.as.me/BPearl

🛏️ In-Person vs. Distance Sessions

In person: You’ll lie fully clothed on a massage or Reiki table while I gently hold the meridian points in sequence. Most people enter a deep state of rest — it’s like a healing nap for your whole system.

Distance: Simply book a time that works for you, and make sure you can rest quietly for the full 90 minutes. I’ll hold the energetic session from my end, then I’ll send a brief check-in email to let you know your session is complete. 

Note: I am simply the facilitator of this process. Every session is a unique and personal experience, guided by what your body indicates is the highest priority at that time. Because of this, no session notes or interpretations are provided, and sharing a detailed history or list of concerns beforehand is not necessary.

🕊️ After your session, it’s ideal to rest, hydrate, and allow space for your body to process. Everyone experiences this work differently — sometimes subtle, sometimes profound.
Yes, this session is just as powerful and effective when received as a distance session.

What Is the Ancient Black Pearl Technique?

A gentle energetic reset for your emotional brain and nervous system

The Ancient Chinese Black Pearl Technique works on your nervous, parasympathetic, sympathetic and neurovascular systems as well as your amygdala. A delightful combination of meridian clearing and energy healing, it releases deep-seated traumas and stress from these systems.

This is a calming, meridian-based energy balancing method that supports emotional healing, trauma release, and nervous system regulation. It combines the best of ancient Chinese energy work with intuitive modern practices — designed to relax the amygdala, restore energetic flow, and bring your entire being back into balance.
At the heart of this technique is the amygdala — almond-shaped clusters in the brain that govern our emotional memory, fear responses, and survival instincts. Under chronic stress or trauma, the amygdala becomes overstimulated, keeping the body in a loop of fight, flight, or freeze.
This technique gently encourages the amygdala to relax and recalibrate, helping it to shrink and soften — becoming like a peaceful black pearl. From here, the brain can shift into higher-functioning states of calm, clarity, and emotional resilience.

The technique works with:
• 🧠 The Electrics — a subtle energy system that connects every cell through tiny electrical impulses (like resetting your body’s internal wiring)
• 💓 The Central Nervous System, Circulatory System, and Meridian Pathways
• 🌊 30+ specific neurovascular holding points across the head and body to calm, regulate, and release

Many describe the experience as “emotional acupuncture without needles” — grounding, peaceful, and often followed by subtle shifts over the next two weeks. Some feel immediate calm; others may experience fatigue, restlessness, or emotional waves as energy moves and clears.
Every session is unique — and deeply personal. This is truly a technique that meets you where you are.

🌀 Please Note: The effects of a Black Pearl session often continue unfolding over the course of two weeks. This is a subtle, energetic recalibration — not a quick fix. You may feel immediate calm, or you may notice changes gradually in your thoughts, sleep, emotions, or energy levels. Everyone processes differently.
✨ Because of this, I don’t provide post-session notes for Black Pearl sessions. The work goes beyond what words can capture — your body, energy field, and spirit will receive exactly what they need in that moment. Some clients feel peaceful, others feel stirred up, and many experience unexpected shifts in the days or weeks following. Trust the process. Your system knows exactly how to receive and integrate what’s offered.

📘 Ancient Black Pearl Virtual Workshop

Discover powerful Meridian Point Trauma Relief techniques to balance your energy, calm your nervous system, and unlock deeper soul-level spiritual alignment.

This self-paced online workshop teaches you how to facilitate the Ancient Black Pearl Technique, a gentle, trauma-informed method that calms the nervous system and helps release emotional stress, energy blockages, and survival-based fear patterns.
You’ll also learn two complementary techniques that work beautifully with Black Pearl:
• 🌀 CCMBA – Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment
• 🔷 C7 VAT – C7 Vibrational Alignment Technique (a quick-reset mini-CCMBA)

The workshop teaches three related techniques that build upon one another. C7 VAT is a shorter balancing technique. CCMBA (Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment) is a complete technique using the CCMBA prayer and head hold. The Ancient Black Pearl Technique expands upon those foundations by using the same CCMBA prayer and incorporating the CCMBA hold as one of its 34 meridian hand positions. This is why these techniques are traditionally taught together.

Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or just starting your wellness journey, this course is beginner-friendly and packed with tools you can use for personal healing or to support others.

✨ No prerequisites required. You’ll receive step-by-step video guidance, a downloadable manual, and three bonus session recordings for your own self-care.

❤️ A Personal Note from Jackie
Creating this course has been a labor of love — and a journey of personal growth.
Teaching now comes more naturally, but it wasn’t always that way. Years ago, I was the girl who shook behind a podium — now I lead trauma-informed trainings and group demos with a calm (and sometimes hilarious) presence.
Learning how to film, edit, and organize everything online was a big leap. There were moments of doubt (and tech meltdowns!), but I trusted that putting this work out into the world was worth it.
If you’ve read my Milestones story, you’ll know just how far this journey has taken me. 🐞💫
With Melissa’s help — including her modeling for the manual! — we rebuilt the training with clearer visuals, updated info, and added techniques from my years of experience. This version is far more comprehensive than the one I originally learned, and it reflects everything I wish I’d received when I was first introduced to Black Pearl.
This is more than just a course. It’s a heart project — created to empower others, just like it has empowered us.

📦 What’s Included in the Online Workshop:
• Lifetime access to video training modules
• Downloadable manual and printable reference charts
• Step-by-step instruction in Black Pearl, CCMBA, and C7 VAT
• Three full-length session recordings for personal use
• Optional certification upon completion
• Affiliate program (earn commission when you share the course)
• Community support and personal encouragement from Jackie 🐞💬

🧭 Course Curriculum Overview

A step-by-step guide to learning Black Pearl, CCMBA, and C7 VAT
(Accessible through the Thinkific learning platform)

1. Welcome & Orientation
Set your intention for this course and learn what to expect from each section. You’ll also meet your instructor (hi, it’s me! Jackie 🐞) and get a feel for how the content is delivered.
2. Energetic Foundations & Terminology
Build your understanding of energy systems, subtle anatomy, the “Electrics,” and the amygdala’s role in emotional processing. This helps you approach the work with clarity and confidence.
3. Creating a Healing Environment
Whether you’re working on yourself or others, this module teaches you how to create a safe, energetically supportive space for deep healing — no fancy setup required.
4. Comparing Modalities
Explore the differences and overlaps between meridian-based therapies like Reiki, TFT, Eden Method, and this technique — and why Black Pearl stands out.
5. C7 VAT: Vibrational Alignment Technique
This short-but-mighty “mini CCMBA” helps reset spinal energy flow and emotional balance. Great as a quick tune-up or session add-on.
6. CCMBA & CCSMC: Deep Cellular Healing
Learn the Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment and Soul Memory Clearing techniques — used to release trauma, clear soul-level imprints, and restore natural alignment.
7. The Ancient Black Pearl Technique
Step-by-step training in this beautiful, gentle nervous system reset. You’ll learn how to access and work with over 30 specific meridian touchpoints, calming the amygdala and restoring energetic flow.
8. Identifying Meridian Points
This is where your downloadable charts and manual come in! You’ll learn to locate and apply each key point in the Black Pearl sequence.
💡 For best results, it’s helpful to have a practice partner, volunteer, or body-sized doll for hands-on learning — but solo learners can still absorb the material and revisit with a partner later.
9. Integrating the Techniques

________________________________________

________________________________________
Q: How long is a typical Black Pearl session? Can it be shorter?
A: A full Black Pearl session is about 90 minutes and involves holding 30+ specific meridian points in sequence. While some aspects can be used in shorter adaptations, the full protocol is designed for deep nervous system recalibration. Slow, gentle, and powerful.
________________________________________
Q: Will I receive notes after my session?
A: Not for this technique. Black Pearl sessions are deeply energetic and unique to each individual. I don’t receive session-specific “messages” for this work — it’s about supporting your nervous system and letting Divine energy do the adjusting. Just trust what unfolds over time.
________________________________________
Q: What’s this “processing period” I’ve heard about?
A: Most people notice subtle (or not-so-subtle) shifts for up to two weeks after a session. This is completely normal — it’s your system gently recalibrating. You might feel lighter, sleepier, energized, or emotional. Be kind to yourself, stay hydrated, and let it flow.

More Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between C7 VAT, CCMBA, and Black Pearl?
The workshop teaches three complementary techniques that may be used independently or together.
C7 VAT (C7 Vibrational Alignment Technique) is a shorter balancing technique, sometimes referred to as a “Mini CCMBA.” It can be used as a quick energetic reset and introduction to the concepts taught in the workshop.
CCMBA (Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment) and CCSMC (Complete Cellular Soul Memory Clearing) are deeper healing processes that focus on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual alignment through prayer, intention, and energetic connection.
The Ancient Black Pearl Technique is a meridian-based energy balancing technique that works with neurovascular points, energetic pathways, and the body’s stress response systems. Many practitioners use Black Pearl as a stand-alone session, while others combine it with CCMBA and other modalities.

Can these techniques be used on yourself?
Yes. The workshop includes three pre-recorded session videos specifically designed for your own personal use. Many students use these recordings regularly for relaxation, stress relief, energetic balancing, and personal growth.
In addition, many practitioners adapt aspects of the techniques for self-care using intention, visualization, and other approaches. Personal experiences vary, and receiving a session from another practitioner may feel different than self-application.

Can these techniques be performed at a distance?
Yes. Many practitioners report positive experiences using these techniques remotely. As with all forms of energy work, individual experiences and results will vary.

Do I need previous experience to learn these techniques?
No. The workshop is designed for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Many students incorporate these methods into existing wellness practices, while others simply use them with family and friends.

What does “Black Pearl” mean?
The term “Black Pearl” is a symbolic description associated with the amygdala and the body’s stress-response systems. Within the teaching tradition of this technique, the amygdala is described as becoming calm, balanced, and no longer hypervigilant—like a peaceful black pearl.

Do I need a surrogate for a distance session?
Yes. Because Black Pearl uses 34 hand positions, a surrogate body is used for distance sessions. You do not need to provide one. I use my own life-sized surrogate while you simply Rest & Receive in the comfort of your own home.

What is the difference between CCMBA and Black Pearl?
CCMBA (Complete Cellular Mind Body Alignment) uses a gentle head hold together with a focused prayer/intention to support whole-person energetic alignment. While the hand position itself is familiar to many healing modalities, the CCMBA process and prayer make it unique.

Why are CCMBA and Black Pearl taught together?
During my own training, I learned the techniques separately. Over time, I came to understand that they were originally intended to be taught together because they are closely connected. Both techniques begin with the same CCMBA prayer, and the CCMBA hold is incorporated into the full Black Pearl sequence. That’s why my workshop teaches them as complementary techniques rather than isolated methods.

NOTE: I have been approached and asked by several people about teaching “all what I do”. This has prompted me to consider creating a Master type class program, possibly with Reiki 1 and 2 at either end of a six-month course with an introduction to other modalities and techniques in between.
I often share information within my Reiki classes anyway, but a longer course type program would allow a much more in depth understanding and learning skills to create your own energetic toolbox.
If this is of interest to you. Please email me at ladybugwellness@hotmail.ca so I can set this up.

Reiki Classes:

Reiki is a Japanese energy technique, where the practitioner gently places their hands in various positions on the head and body with the intention of healing on all levels of being.
It is a whole-body treatment that strives to achieve optimal health and energetic health for its clients through reducing stress and promoting overall healing within the body.

Reiki is a safe effective energy modality that is beneficial to everyone. Anyone can learn Reiki. No experience is necessary to begin your Reiki journey. Reiki is a holistic self-help technique for directing universal life force energy that can be used at any moment, anytime, anywhere for on-the-spot stress release, pain relief, and as a quick energy boost. Reiki energy re-balances the energy field that exists around our bodies. When this energy field is clear of blockages and flows naturally, balanced optimal health is achieved. Reiki healing is a pure energy form and when it is combined with the sincere desire or focused intention of the client, a deep level of healing occurs on four levels (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual) and this manifests in their life as harmony and balance.

Reiki is a Gift you Give to Yourself. Where you take it, or where it takes you, is as individual as you are. Class is a combination of history, theory, and hands on experience.

Your Teacher, Jackie Rioux, has been certified to teach Traditional Usui Reiki through three different Master Teacher trainings. She is an Affiliate member of the (William Rand) Reiki Membership Association and Reiki Healing Association. Classes are taught with affiliation to the Reiki Membership Association and their learning materials are provided.

Reiki Classes can be booked through the Ladybug Wellness scheduler for any available date at your convenience. You are welcome to have a friend book their training date for the same date so you can take a class together and have a practice partner. There are a limited number of seats available for in person training. Having the option of booking your preferred date through the scheduler means that sometimes you may have a one-on-one class.
Book your preferred dates here: https://ladybugwellness.as.me/ReikiPrinceGeorge

In-person Classes are held at 4233 Quentin Ave Prince George BC. Light refreshments are provided for lunch. (usully veggie tray and meat/ cheese tray). If you are local, in person classes and much more fun and personable, in my opinion.

ONLINE CLASSES: Online classes are held through Zoom and require your full attention during class time. We will have reasonable break times. Manual will be sent through Reiki.org as a read only online version of the manual.
**** ONLINE REIKI CLASSES ARE SUSPENDED TEMPORARILY as I revamp classes presentation to a more aligned video option so you can learn at your own pace and this is available to more time zones as well. ****

Jackie’s “elevator speech” for seminar introductions:

Reiki: (Pronounced ray-kee) Rei = God/Universal; Ki = Life force energy

Reiki is a 2,500 year old healing tradition that was rediscovered in the late 19th century by Dr. Usui in Japan. The syllable “Rei” means God/ universal; and “Ki” describes the vital life force which flows through all living things. Reiki is a holistic healing modality that provides relaxation and stress reduction and brings about healing and transformation on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level of your being.

You do not have to believe in Reiki for it to work, but you do have to take the first step and treat yourself to this unique experience. Reiki is a gentle, non-intrusive touch therapy that brings wholeness to the recipient & the giver. Reiki is given by placing hands on, or just above, the body. Reiki works toward restoring and vitalizing the natural energy balance, and also works with humans, animals & plants.

I am a Reiki Master attuned to the Usui lineage of Traditional Japanese Reiki. I am an affiliate member of William Rand’s Reiki Membership Association.

I have done my own soul searching and have found that Reiki has become a blessing in my life creating many wonderful effects for every person I have had the privilege to work with. I say a prayer for heavenly guidance before each session and feel that Reiki is like a high-powered blessing for the recipient! Reiki works well with, and enhances, many other energy healing modalities as well as being a benefit to traditional medical care.

Call today for an appointment… experience blissful relaxation for yourself!… You deserve it!

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7)

“Therefore, they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.” (Acts 14:3)

_______________________________________________________________
Choosing your Reiki Teacher:
A reputable Reiki teacher will never obligate you to work with any particular teacher or to have the same teacher for advanced level training. Always go with whom you feel most comfortable.

Here are some ideas of questions you can ask a Reiki teacher to see if they are the right teacher for you:

How long have you been working with Reiki?
What training have you had?
How often do you teach?
How do you personally use Reiki?
What is your lineage?
What qualifications are required to take Reiki Training?
What do you cover in your classes?
How many hours of class time is included?
How much time is instructional, and how much is hands on practice?
What are the specific things I will be able to do after taking the training?
What are your fees, and will I get a certificate and a manual?
Can I take notes?
How many symbols will I learn?
Will you openly support me in being a successful Reiki practitioner or Master?
Do you have a positive respectful attitude toward other Reiki practitioners and Masters regardless of lineage or affiliation?
Be aware of how you feel about their answers and if they are responding in a loving manner that is supportive and empowering. Listen to your heart and you will be guided to the right teacher or practitioner.

Jackie Rioux, Usui Reiki Master Teacher: Most answers above in class descriptions.
I began my Reiki journey in 2009. See certifications page for my list of trainings. https://ladybugwellness.ca/certifications/
I prefer to allow my students to book classes through the convenient online scheduler. You are welcome to choose an available date that works best for you. With smaller classes, I feel I can give more one-on-one attention to my students so they can be receptive to effective learning and confident in using the skills they acquire throughout the day.
As a Reiki Master Teacher, Reiki energy is infused through absolutely everything I do. Reiki has heightened my intuition and cleansed my life.

As your Reiki Master Teacher, I encourage taking manual notes as needed and taking an active part in ensuring you feel confident in your new role. I believe that a great leader guides and creates new leaders rather than expecting followers.

I feel that I do have a respectful attitude towards other teachers and practitioners. I do not feel there is competition in energy healing circles as we all have unique gifts to bring to the world.
I do, however, take issue with teachers and practitioners with poor business ethics and misrepresentation of themselves that can detrimentally affect students and the integrity of Reiki.

FAQ:
When can I begin charging for Reiki sessions?
Students may practice Reiki on themselves, family, friends, and volunteers immediately after Level I training.
Some students choose to incorporate Reiki into an existing wellness practice after completing Level II.
However, I strongly recommend completing Level III (ART Practitioner Level) and gaining meaningful experience before offering Reiki as a stand-alone professional service. Certification alone does not replace experience, confidence, ethics, and professional development.
Many Reiki practitioners carry professional liability insurance. Requirements vary between insurance providers, so students should verify current eligibility requirements directly with their chosen insurer.

How soon can I start a Reiki business? 
One thing I always encourage students to consider is that completing a course and being ready to work professionally are not necessarily the same thing.
Reiki training provides knowledge, techniques, and attunements, but developing confidence, experience, professional judgment, and strong client skills takes time and practice. Some students move through the levels quickly, while others spend months or years integrating what they have learned before moving on.
I do provide certificates upon completion of each level. Insurance eligibility can vary between providers, so I always recommend checking directly with the insurance company you intend to use, as their requirements may change over time.
Business practices, ethics, professional conduct, client boundaries, informed consent, and practitioner responsibility are all topics that I discuss throughout training and mentorship. In my experience, these areas are just as important as learning the techniques themselves.
My recommendation is to approach Reiki first as a personal practice and path of development. If, over time, you feel called to work with others professionally, the training can certainly support that path as well.

*******Reiki certification provides training and credentials, but professional readiness comes from experience, practice, ethics, and confidence. My goal is not simply to certify students, but to help them become competent and responsible practitioners.*******

**** ONLINE REIKI CLASSES ARE SUSPENDED TEMPORARILY as I revamp classes presentation to a more aligned video option so you can learn at your own pace and this is available to more time zones as well. ****
Will be revamping in person classes as well at some point, but you are welcome to book in person classes at your convenience until then.

NOTE: I have been approached and asked by several people about teaching “all what I do”. This has prompted me to consider creating a Master type class program, possibly with Reiki 1 and 2 at either end of a six-month course with an introduction to other modalities and techniques in between.
I often share information within my Reiki classes anyway, but a longer course type program would allow a much more in depth understanding and learning skills to create your own energetic toolbox.
If this is of interest to you. Please email me at ladybugwellness@hotmail.ca so I can set this up for the fall of 2024.

Thank you to these students for permission to post their successes here:
