Reiki SessionsReiki is a self-development and healing system that was rediscovered in Japan early last century. Its essence is about moving into a state of more balance in all aspects of our life. 'Reiki' means 'Universal Life Energy'. Eastern medicine, yoga and martial arts have always worked with this energy; it is known as 'Ki' in Japan, as 'Chi' in China, and 'Prana' in India.
A Reiki treatment can unblock tensions, re-balance the energy flow, and open energy channels. This has many benefits on a physical, mental and emotional level. The free flow of energy stimulates the body's own healing potential. Reiki can be given by slightly touching the body, working in the aura only (no touch), or long-distance. It is a non-invasive therapy with no side-effects or risk of overdose. As it is very gentle and safe, it can be used by all ages, including new-born babies, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, and frail or very ill people. If you visit my Peace with Death page, you will see that I also offer Reiki for people who live with a terminal diagnosis or go through bereavement. |
Reiki and Western MedicineAs a complementary method, Reiki is being used in GP surgeries, hospices, cancer support groups, drug rehabilitation and more. Reiki treatments will support you on your healing journey, but they do not replace the need to seek medical advice if you are feeling worried or unwell. Please also see our Working Principles page.
We also provide Reiki Courses. Please visit the Training Page if interested.

What happens in a session?
The first step of every session is making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed. We have a quick chat, then you choose whether you want to sit on a chair or lie on the massage table, whether you want some music, extra blankets or pillows. There is no need to remove any clothing.
I will then put my hands gently in a series of positions - on or over your body (I will never touch your face or genital area, and you can choose whether I work with my hands touching your body, or a few inches away). In some positions, I will remain for a while, in others, I will move on quite quickly. You may just relax and don't have to worry about the timing and intensity at all: Your energy system will draw in as much Reiki as it needs, using it in whatever way is most appropriate. |
Reiki may be felt as a flow of energy, a mild tingling, warmth, coolness, or other sensations. Some clients feel nothing at all, but this does not mean the session has not worked - we are all different regarding our experiencing energy.
After the session, you will feel relaxed and calm, and may want to rest for a while. It is a good idea not to schedule something very active right after the session. |

Gift Certificates
Regular Reiki sessions are a lovely practice, even if you don't have a 'burning issue'. They can bring joy and balance, and help ward-off illnesses, stress and fatigue. As a 'massage for the energy system', a series of sessions might be a meaningful gift for yourself or for others. More info. |
