Reiki is a Japanese word that can be translated as ‘universal life force energy’. Reiki is a very simple system of healing carried out by placing hands on or over a person (who is always clothed) and Universal or Divine Energy is channelled through the therapist and transmitted through the hands to help you to relax and be at peace.

Reiki is considered to be a holistic therapy as it gently assists the body as a whole - mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually - improving the flow of energy, qi (Chinese) or ki (Japanese) through your body to enable you to relax and your body to heal. Reiki therapy may improve many physical and emotional conditions including stress, depression and pain management. Reiki works well in conjunction with other therapies i.e. herbal medicine and mind/body therapies (The Journey, Being in Colour®).

Sessions are either 30 minutes as an add-on therapy, or 60 minutes for a complete session. You will lie fully clothed and warm in a comfortable clinic room with soothing music gently playing in the background. I will then place my hands on or above your chakras (energy centers) to allow the Reiki energy to flow through and allow stress and tension to melt away leaving you feeling blissfully relaxed.

You may choose to have three to six consecutive weekly sessions for acute pain or stress, or regular treatments for ongoing relaxation and healing.
