What is Reiki?
​
Reiki is a spiritual and alternative healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: "rei," which means universal, and "ki," which means life energy or vital force. It is based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things and that this energy can be channeled by the Reiki practitioner into the client to promote, restore and maintain harmony and balance in the body, mind, and spirit.
​​
What is the purpose of Reiki?
​
The purpose of Reiki is to promote healing, relaxation, and overall well-being by channeling this universal life energy through the hands of a practitioner to a recipient. It is believed that imbalances in one's lifeforce energy can lead to physical, emotional, mental or spiritual distress and imbalances in one area can affect some or all of the other areas.
Reiki takes a holistic approach to healing, addressing the root causes of issues rather than just treating symptoms. It considers the person as a whole, including physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects.
​
What should I expect in my treatment?
​
Reiki is non-invasive and non-manipulative. Clients are fully clothed during the treatment and practitioners act as conduits for the universal energy. The practitioner places their hands on, or hovers their hands above, the client's body and channels the universal energy through their hands to the recipient. This facilitates a healing process that can address the client's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs.

"After a few mini sessions of Reiki for my frozen shoulder, I decided to book a full body session. This was the most relaxing session I had ever experienced, I felt 'heat' at various points over my body - some completely unexpected - but then had the best night's sleep in years! I would thoroughly recommend."
