A Reiki treatment lasts an hour or 90mins (your choice!) and is suitable for all. I’ll begin by filling out a brief health questionnaire with you and then we'll discuss any intentions you’d like to set for the treatment. The hands-on Reiki session lasts for 45 mins, and you just get to lie on the massage couch, fully clothed, wrapped in a soft blanket. I use the Usui Reiki method, which is still hand positions either resting lightly on, or above the body, working from the head to the toes. It is recommended that you avoid alcohol for 24 hours prior to a treatment (and afterwards for a day or two). After the session it is advisable that you rest, and drink plenty of water.

Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is an energy healing system developed in Japan by Dr. Mikao Usui in the 1920’s. Translated from Japanese it means: Universal Life Energy. Reiki is a wonderful therapy for those who are in search of balance and healing. The body drifts into a deep relaxed state, and universal energy is channelled to where it is most needed via a series of hand positions gently resting on or above the clothed body. 

Some clients experience a feeling of heat from the therapists hands, some feel a tingling sensation. You might see colours in your mind’s eye or other visual images. You may have involuntary twitches as blockages are released and some clients may experience other methods of release such as laughing or crying as the emotions they have been holding on to are released.

 Yes, absolutely, Reiki is one of the few complimentary medicine techniques that has no known contra-indications. It treats the mind, body and soul, restoring balance and harmony. A feeling of well-being is created and the body’s ability to self-heal is enhanced. 

Reiki can help with all kinds of illness and disease and can sometimes have very profound effects. Just one Reiki treatment can activate renewal and well-being. It can help with anger, addiction and anxiety, it can also result in clients making healthier lifestyle choices for themselves. Safe and non-invasive, Reiki can be used throughout our lives ~ from Babies to Adulthood.

You don't have to be "ill" to benefit from Reiki, it is a deeply balancing therapy that can empower the individual and enhance physical, emotional healing and spiritual growth. Many of my clients schedule regular treatments as a way of maintaining their emotional balance & good health.
