What is Reiki? 

 

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It involves the transfer of life energy through the practitioner's hands to promote healing and balance in the body.

 

How does a Reiki session work? 

 

Before we begin our session we will chat about your health, any specific areas of physical or emotional tension, and your goals for the session. You will remain fully clothed while lying comfortably on my massage table. I will gently place my hands on or above certain areas of your body. The touch is very light and non invasive. I move through a series of hand positions, starting at your head and moving down towards your feet. You don't need to do anything but rest. A typical session will last about 60 minutes. 

 

What are the benefits of Reiki?

 

Reiki can reduce stress, alleviate pain, and promote emotional healing. Many people report feeling more relaxed and balanced after a session.

What does Reiki feel like?

​

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. You may feel warmth, tingling, deep relation, emotional release, or you may even fall asleep. All of these things are common and completely normal. Some people simply feel calmer and more balanced afterwards. Reiki works even if you are asleep!

​

Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?

​

No. You don't need any particular beliefs and you don't have to be spiritual. Many people come because they are stressed, anxious and emotionally drained. Reiki is able to help anyone who is open to the experience. 

​​

Can Reiki replace medical care? 

​

No. Reiki is a complementary wellness practice and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical conditions. It works best alongside appropriate medical care and other treatments, not as a replacement for them. 

​

Is Reiki safe for everyone?

 

Reiki is generally considered safe for people of all ages and can be adapted to meet individual comfort levels. Sessions are gentle, non-invasive, and be performed with light touch or hands held just above the body.  If you have a medical condition, are pregnant, or have specific health concerns, Reiki can be enjoyed alongside your healthcare plan, but its always important to continue to follow your healthcare provider's recommendations.
