Reiki

Reiki originated in Japan in the early 20th century, founded by Mikao Usui. It's a holistic practice that taps into universal life energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. Over the years, Reiki has spread worldwide, touching countless lives and offering a path to profound self-healing and self-discovery.

Reiki is a gentle energy therapy that helps your body relax, recharge, and therefore encourages your body to heal itself naturally. Think of it as a peaceful energy massage for your soul!

We are alive because life force (Ki) or energy flows through us.

In reiki, the practitioner acts as a conduit for universal energy, gently placing their hands on or near the recipient's body. 

This transfer of universal energy is thought to dissolve energy blockages, stimulate the body's own innate self-healing abilities, and can help to restore a sense of wellbeing.

The holistic approach of reiki aims to bring about balance, promoting a sense of relaxation, harmony, and overall wellness.

Anyone can have reiki, as it is a gentle, energy therapy. However it is not advisable to have reiki if you are pregnant (especially during the first trimester).

Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment. It is an alternative holistic therapy that promotes relaxation and a sense of calm. 

Children under the age of 18 need their parents consent and a chaperone with them during the treatment. 

The Studios is an older building and unfortunately does not have a disabled access. There is also a flight of stairs up to the treatment room, which is on the first floor.

Your first appointment will be slightly longer because we will need to discuss your needs and complete a consultation form. 

For example, for your first appointment of a one hour reiki treatment, your session may last 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

You will lie on a treatment couch or if you prefer you can be seated. You should wear comfortable clothing and you will be asked to remove your shoes. You will have some blankets gently placed on you to keep you warm during the treatment. 

I will ask you to close your eyes to encourage you to fully relax and I will let you know when the treatment has started. I will not speak to you during the treatment to enable you to complete switch off, but please do let me know if you need a drink etc.

Reiki can be light contact and / or non-contact and this will be discussed before your treatment starts.
