Translated from Japanese, Reiki means “Universal life force energy”, it is a spiritual healing discipline with its roots in ancient Buddhist teachings.  Reiki is the vital life energy that flows through all living things,  by channelling this energy self-healing can take place. By opening the mind and spirit - relaxation, balance and health can be achieved.   Reiki is soothing on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

The holistic healing of Reiki is difficult to explain and it is a unique alternative therapy.  Reiki can create a strong sense of balance that leads to new levels of awareness and a commitment to wellness, creativity and growth.  A treatment is very calming and can overcome both physical discomfort and emotional distress.

A Reiki session will last between 60 and 90 minutes.   Whilst fully clothed and lying on a couch, a Reiki practitioner will lay hands lightly in a series of positions on the body.  There is no massage or manipulation of soft tissues, you may experience heat, tingling and movement during the treatment.
