What is Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Reiki is an alternative/holistic form of healing. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. This means that it does not only focus on healing one aspect (the physical), but multiple aspects such as the body, mind, emotions and the spirit as a whole.This balances the subtle energies within the body and activates the recipient’s natural ability to heal body, mind, emotions and spirit.

What happens during the treatment?

At the start of your first session, I will conduct a thorough health, diet and lifestyle consultation. This will involve finding out about any medication that you take, recent operations and illnesses and your reasons for Reiki.
I offer a complete Reiki session to a fully clothed client who is lying on the bed or sitting comfortably supported in the chair depending on the clients preference.


Client will be staying in one position for the duration of the session. I don’t believe in turning clients or shifting their position as Reiki energy will flow to wherever it is needed. I will lay my hands over the body parts approximately 6 inches above the body. The only body parts I will touch are your head and feet.


The session last approximately an hour.Clients typically leave a Reiki session feeling refreshed. Some feel more tired than usual but this is not something to be worried about as this is the body’s natural healing response. People commonly report a sense if calm, mental clarity and sleeping well after Reiki.
