Reiki

Reiki is a relaxing holistic energy treatment that originated in Japan. The word reiki means universal life force energy.

What to expect during a treatment

During a reiki treatment, I channel this life force energy to you. You lay fully clothed on a massage table or sit in a chair, whichever is more comfortable, and relax. I will place my hands lightly on your body in different positions, holding for a few minutes each time.

As the energy flows through you, it goes to where it is needed, recharging and raising the vibration of your energy field and clearing any blockages and negative energy. In doing so, it strengthens and heals your energy pathways, allowing energy to flow freely, promoting a sense of wellbeing and helping to relieve physical symptoms as well as emotional or mental stressors.

The benefits of reiki

A reiki treatment can help to:

• Reduce stress, anxiety and depression
• Ease pain – clients report relief, in particular, from migraine, menstrual cramps and injury
• Energise, reduce fatigue and improve sleep
• Reduce emotional distress – particularly useful for clients who find a talking therapy difficult
• Relieve menstrual and menopausal symptoms
• Aid recovery from surgery, injury and long-term illness.

At the very least, clients report that a reiki treatment is highly relaxing, promoting a sense of wellbeing and a great night’s sleep.
