What is Reiki?
Means ‘universal life energy’ in Japanese, where this therapy originated at the turn of the century. Reiki is based on the premise that illness is caused by a disruption in the body’s energy field or life force. By using specially designed symbols and channelling energy, it is believed that the body can be filled with positive energy causing the disease-making negative energy to disappear.

Although the Reiki practitioner may ask questions about the client’s health prior to treatment, it is important to note that no diagnosis, prognosis or advice will be offered. Remaining fully clothed, the client prepares for treatment by relaxing on a massage couch, or sitting if that is more comfortable. The practitioner may then rest their hands lightly and gently on the body in a sequence of positions, each one being held for a couple of minutes.

Benefits:
Reiki can be used to relieve the symptoms of chronic illness such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, back pain and arthritis, and often produces long term beneficial changes. Aside from treating physical, mental and emotional problems, most clients report that a Reiki treatment feels wonderful and promotes a sense of relaxation and well being. Reiki can also be combined with massage to give a unique treatment which is tailored to each client.
