Reiki is a healing modality from Japan and the word itself is made up of two Japanese words; 'Rei' meaning the 'wisdom and knowledge of the Universe' or God (and by this we mean Spirit, the Source, the Universe, the Divine, Higher Self or All That Is ) and 'Ki' which is life-force energy. Reiki can be translated to "spirituality guided life-force energy".
Ki is known differently around the world - Chi or Qi in China, prana in India and in science, it's called biofield energy but it's essence remains the same.
Reiki is administered by the 'laying of hands' and in the style of Reiki that I was trained in, the hands hover a few inches above the receiver's physical body.
A treatment is incredibly relaxing and most clients drift off to sleep. Others enjoy a deep sense of peace, experience sensations of heat and tingling or encounter visualisations or messages.
Reiki can help adults, children, animals and everything else that's living or made up of energy - plants, crystals and even your baking!
WHAT HAPPENS IN A REIKI TREATMENT?
You will come to my healing space, a little cocoon away from the outside world with soft lighting, gentle music and warm blankets. We'll have a chat about what brought you to Reiki then you'll lie on my treatment table and relax. One hour just for you; to process, release, find peace, whatever you need. I often use crystals to strengthen the energy and incense/smudge sticks/room sprays, but of course, let me know if you'd prefer it if I didn't :)

Ki is an unseen energy that flows through all living things and directly affects the quality of health and one's sense of well-being. When life energy is low we become susceptible to illness, stress, brain-fog and feel weak. When life energy is strong we feel balanced, creative, healthy, have clarity, purpose and feel good about life.
Reiki balances our life-force energy and activates the parasympathetic nervous system (when our body relaxes into "rest and digest") so that we can deal better with stress. When we live in the sympathetic nervous system (fight/flight/freeze) our body stays in a permanent state of stress which can lead to illness. Reiki can assist with many things:
