What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle energy healing technique that promotes relaxation and reduces stress and anxiety through touch. Developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s, reiki uses the universal life force energy to improve the flow and balance of energy in the body, supporting healing. Today, reiki is used worldwide, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments. Reiki helps people become energetically balanced, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

How Does
Reiki Work?
Reiki is a healing technique that involves the transfer of universal life force energy from a practitioner to a patient. The practitioner acts as a conduit for the energy, which flows through their hands to the patient. The patient determines the amount of energy they receive, ensuring that they receive only what they. This creates a perfect balance that meets the patient's individual needs.
What Happens
During Reiki?
Reiki treatments usually take around 50 minutes. During the session, you will lie on a massage table fully clothed, while the practitioner gently places their hands on or above your body in specific energy locations. There is no pressure, massage, or manipulation involved, and the length of time for each hand position is determined by the flow of energy.
