Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of energy through the hands of a practitioner to a recipient, with the aim of activating the body's innate natural healing ability.

Reiki is believed to bring the body into a deep state of relaxation, balancing the energy system by strengthening the body’s ability to heal and increasing the body’s systematic resistance to stress. Reiki is a powerful modality on its own, yet it is also wonderfully complimentary to other modalities from allopathic medicine to all mind-body therapies and is practiced widely across the globe. It is not meant to replace traditional medical treatments but is instead used as a supportive practice to enhance overall well-being. Reiki is often offered in private clinics, holistic wellness centres, hospitals, and hospices as a complementary therapy.

Some of the most reported benefits include:

On your first visit, I like to take a comprehensive case history, including any presenting symptoms and relevant medical history. This initial consultation ensures that your Reiki treatment is tailored specifically to your needs, providing a safe and supportive foundation from which to build.

I will then invite you to lie down or sit comfortably, fully clothed in the peaceful and soothing treatment room. I will begin by explaining the process and ensuring you feel at ease. My hands are then gently placed on or just above specific points on your body, allowing healing energy to flow where it is most needed. You may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation as the energy works to restore balance and promote healing. Most clients fall asleep during their treatment and sessions usually last between 45 minutes to an hour. Afterwards, you may feel lighter, more centred, and refreshed. We will then take time to discuss how you felt during the treament and again I will take brief notes.

After a Reiki treatment, it is recommended to stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and to allow yourself time to rest. It is advisable to avoid strenuous exercise or intense physical activity for the remainder of the day, enabling your body to fully integrate the benefits of the session.
