Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) is safe, gentle, non-invasive form of alternative medicine called energy healing. It is a type of therapy that involves the practice of “laying hands” or hands-on healing.

It is derived from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy). This universal energy or ‘ki’ is said to have healing effects. Reiki healing channels this “Universal Life Energy” through the hands of the practitioner to the recipient. This process promotes physical, emotional, mental and spiritual healing. It will increase energy, reduce pain, alleviate anxiety stress and tension, and produce a sense of deep relaxation and well being.

During your session, you will relax (fully clothed) on a massage table. There will be no pressure to the body, making it ideal for treating all ages and conditions. The practitioner’s hands will remain stationary approximately 4-6 inches above the body of the client, focusing on various areas of the body. Typically, the 7 chakral areas of the body are targeted. There is no manipulation of the body, Reiki is not massage but a transfer of energy from one being to another. The energy flows to where it is required and can normally be felt as a radiating or pulsating heat, and/or a tingling sensation during a treatment. Most enter a calm and relaxed state. In some, chronic or acute pain can diminish or completely vanish. A session can last an hour or longer depending on the treatment required.

Receiving Reiki is a very soothing experience!
