What is reiki?
It's a healing therapy that channels energy through your aura, to balance your mind, body and spirit
Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique, has gained widespread popularity worldwide, particularly through the practice of Usui Reiki, developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 20th century.
The term "Reiki" loosely translates to 'universal energy' and involves the practitioner laying hands on or over the recipient to transmit energy, effectively removing blockages within the body. This holistic approach addresses the person as a whole, encompassing the body, emotions, mind, and spirit, resulting in various positive effects such as relaxation, a sense of peace, security, and overall well-being.
The profound impact of Reiki lies in its ability to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities. Regardless of one's belief system, Reiki operates independently and can serve as a delightful and relaxing therapy, potentially bringing transformative changes to one's life.
Notably, certain NHS trusts now offer referrals for Reiki therapy as an adjunct to conventional medical care, highlighting its growing recognition within mainstream healthcare.
Embrace the potential of Reiki – a therapy not bound by belief but capable of delivering a serene and transformative experience for individuals seeking relaxation and positive life changes.

A typical session generally lasts about 60 minutes, although your first appointment will be slightly longer. During your initial session, we will walk you through the process, discuss your current conditions, complete necessary paperwork, and have a conversation about your desired outcomes. We encourage you to share any thoughts or feedback after the session, as it greatly contributes to personalizing your future sessions.
Reiki is administered while you are fully clothed and comfortably seated in an antigravity chair, designed to support your entire body. This makes it an excellent choice, especially if you have any issues with your back. Following each session, you'll receive an aftercare sheet, and if you have any questions, we are always here to help. Your well-being is our priority."
