What is Reiki?
​
Reiki is the universal energy that is all around us, within us and creates us, we are all made from energy, which is why we all have the ability to heal ourselves. Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese complementary therapy founded by Mikao Usui in the early part of the 20th century. Reiki is one of the worlds most popular complementary therapies and is a gentle, non-invasive, effective therapy which activates the bodys own natural ability to heal itself.
What can Reiki help you with?
​
The short answer to this is - everything. Reiki helps to heal your life - across physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels…although not always in the way you might have originally expected...
​
Physical healing - Reiki is a complementary therapy which can be used alongside conventional treatments, activating the body's own innate self-healing capabilities, often with amazing results! For this reason it is also highly effective in aiding recovery from medical procedures.
​
Healing of the mind and emotions - the influx of energy during a Reiki treatment can loosen and dissolve emotional blockages held in the body and the mind. This can help you to break free from negative patterns and improve your relationship with yourself and others. Reiki is extremely relaxing, naturally relieving anxiety and stress levels.
​
Spiritual healing - Reiki takes us into a deep meditative state where we can awaken and connect with our higher self. It is here that we can gain clarity on life's issues and a wonderful sense of peace and love. Reiki cleanses the auric field, rebalances the chakras and ultimately, assists us in activating major positive changes in our life!

How I Work
​
-
Each Reiki treatment will start with a brief consultation, outlining the areas of your life you would like to work on.
-
I will ask you to take your shoes off and lay on a treatment couch or sit in a chair. You'll remain fully clothed.
-
With your permission, the treatment can be given hands on or hands off - whichever you prefer. Kindly note that a hands-off treatment works just as well.
-
A session will last around 50 minutes (or 80 minutes for an extended session).
-
No preparation is required on your part before a Reiki treatment, however, you might like to set an intention for yourself in advance. Comfortable clothes are also advisable.
-
No alcohol consumption before the session or for 24 hours after if possible.

A feeling of heaviness, lightness or an out of body experience
