Reeves' practice is multifaceted, but is always grounded in the medium of light and energy. She works to encourage emotional and physical well-being for her audience through a holistic lens of personal, societal, and environmental healing. Using light, space, collaboration, audience participation, and immersive environments, Reeves sparks wonder and openness in a world that is becoming increasingly disenchanted and works to address spiritual chasms that are symptoms of contemporary culture.  In her performance work, she positions the audience as the performer, creating a space for viewers to undergo meaningful gestures that have an impactful and transformative effect on the psyche. These performances confront destructive contemporary practices like capitalism, a damaged relationship to the land, and a connection with our bodies that have in turn wreaked havoc on the ecosystem, the individual, and the collective consciousness. Utilizing the theater of religion, I create authentic connections with my audience in ways where they are voluntarily changed through experience.
