The word Reiki (pronounced “Ray Kee) is often translated as “universal life-force energy.” Reiki is an energy that acts holistically on the energy of the body. At the quantum level everything that exists in the universe is energy. Science has now confirmed that an unseen energy flows through and connects all living things. This has been recognised by ancient wisdom traditions for thousands of years. The energy has different names, such as Ki in Japanese, Chi or Qi in Chinese or Prana in Indian traditions, others may know it as vitality or life force.

Reiki is a popular, Japanese complementary therapy founded by Mikao Usui in the early part of the 20th century. It is a complimentary therapy that is being used increasingly more in the NHS and other medical practices now also. It can be used alongside other complimentary therapies and conventional medicine. Reiki is a full body treatment that helps to clear energy blockages and rebalance and realign the chakras to assist the body’s natural healing abilities.

Reiki is a safe, gentle, non-intrusive, hands-on technique that can balance and harmonise all aspects of a person’s body, mind, emotions and spirit. You can lye down (or sit if more comfortable) and will remain fully clothed for the entire treatment. It involves the practitioner’s hands placed either just above the body or by applying light touch, depending on the area, as is appropriate. Each treatment is as unique as my clients and can be tailored to suit you. Reiki can enhance our lives, and regular sessions may help to promote development of a healthier, happier, more relaxed state of being.

Reiki can encourage and support us to make choices around diet, exercise, rest and leisure activities that are most nourishing and transformative for us as individuals and enable us to respond to life’s challenges more positively. Reiki’s gentle energy is easily adapted to most medical conditions and may be used safely by people of all ages.
