Reiki is a gentle hands–on healing technique which uses universal energy. The Japanese word Reiki translated means Rei – universal and Ki – life force. We all have access to this healing energy and have the ability to heal ourselves, however over time due to stress and illness the flow of energy becomes blocked. Reiki is used to bring healing to the body, mind and spirit and enhance well-being.

What does Reiki do?
Reiki can help to ease and remove the blockages caused by stress and illness; it rebalances the body and its flow of energy, improving physical and emotional health. Reiki can help with many conditions from stress and anxiety to headaches and joint pain. It is a simple and gentle complementary technique which can aid healing on a number of levels. For Reiki to work you do not need to understand or believe in it, but trust you will receive the healing you most need at the time.

Who can use it?
Reiki is open to everyone from children to the elderly and can be used in isolation or to complement other treatments. It can be used for:

• Physical symptoms and injuries like headaches, joint pain, neck and shoulder tension
• Emotional issues like anger, anxiety, fear and low confidence
• Periods of stress and change
• Relaxation
• Accessing creativity
• Awakening consciousness and bringing new meaning to life

What happens during a session?
Reiki is a gentle and non-invasive treatment with no requirement to undress. During the first session you will be asked to complete a short medical questionnaire, discuss your reasons for wanting Reiki and any other treatments you may be currently having. After removing your shoes and glasses (if applicable) you will be asked to lie on a treatment couch, close your eyes and relax. The practitioner will lay their hands on and near your body and will act as channel for the universal energy, which will be directed to where it is most needed.

What happens after a session?
Once the treatment is over you are invited to discuss your experience and ask any questions you have with the practitioner however this is not essential. You will be asked to drink some water to help cleanse your body and it is recommended that you remain as calm and quiet as possible and do not over exert yourself. Some people feel energized after their sessions whilst others experience an emotional release as energy shifts within the body, everyone experiences Reiki differently.

How many sessions are recommended?
Although positive results can be achieved after 1 session, for longer term benefits a series of treatments is recommended. Many people see a difference after 6 weekly sessions. Some people then choose to continue on a regular basis whilst others have further sessions as and when they feel it’s required. A number of people who are drawn to Reiki and its healing decide to learn it for themselves.

Cost of sessions?
The first consultation is 1.5 hours and includes an initial discussion, assessment and questions. This session costs £40. Subsequent sessions are either £30 per hour or £40 for 1.5 hours depending on your choice and needs.

Also available, why not blend a Reiki treatment with a Holistic Stress Management session with and really feel the benefits. This would be a 2 hour session at £60.
