WHAT IS REIKI?
Rei (Universal Life Force) Ki (Energy)
When you feel brighter
the world becomes a brighter place
You’ve probably heard the word but have very little idea of what it is. In Japanese, reiki translates to spiritual energy.
​
Reiki is the vital life force energy which flows through and around all living beings connecting them to each other. It is not something outside of us, reiki flows through us, it is what we are.
Within us, our soul essence shines bright, in other words the energy that gives life to us.​​​ We are this beautiful UNIVERSAL ENERGY and as we grow through our life experiences we begin to carry a canopy of emotions: fear, anger, resentment, sadness and even depression. We cover ourselves in these layers until it looks like our light has extinguished but no matter how many layers, our light is always beautiful and bright on our inside.​​
The dysregulation of this flow of energy can make us feel depleted or stressed. we can have difficulty in concentrating, excessive tiredness and sometimes an unexplained heaviness.
​
Reiki is a gentle and natural non evasive therapy and uses the energy which comes from our own body. As the layers are removed by using the system of reiki, your light will begin to shine and help you to feel yourself again.​
A NATURAL TREATMENT FOR STRESS
HOW WILL REIKI BENEFIT ME?
All human beings possess a natural healing mechanism known as our immune system.​Our defence system has a built-in intelligence that wants to repair and renew cells and efficiently eradicate unwelcome invaders to our bodies.​
​
Relaxation and rest are vital elements that help this system to work effectively.​
Most of the discomforts we carry are because of emotional experiences. These affect our physical, mental and emotional states.
​Sometimes, our energetic balance can become disrupted or frayed by stress, injury or illness.​ One of the primary benefits of a Reiki session is stillness. Stopping to dedicate time for you.
​When we relax our muscles, we become less tense and our heart and respiratory rate becomes lower. ​
Reiki helps to achieve a deep state of mental and psychological rest.​ This is the opposite to the ‘fight or flight’ stress response and will support the body's natural ability to heal itself. ​As you become more visible to yourself, you will feel less worried and less anxious.​​​​

Cancer & carers

I meet the most beautiful people who seek reiki through grief and loss or from burnout when caring form someone at 'end of life'.
Carers can feel overwhelmed with the emotional weight they carry and often neglect their own self care in a selfless way. When our 'friend' departs from this world, we experience the pain of a broken heart which impacts our well-being and daily functioning.
Our NHS is stretched to the limits and so carers and family seek help in a holistic and spiritual way with reiki. I am not trained as a counsellor but I'm compassionate, a good listener and will dedicate time to hold that space for you.
Many clients have highlighted what little support there is out there for our carers, relatives, friends and even those who are ready to depart this life due to funding.
If this is something you have experienced, or are experiencing, please let me know.
HANDS ON REIKI
Balance Your Energy
A treatment takes place in the comfort my Reiki Room under a relaxed and non judgemental atmosphere.
The recipient lies down (or can sit if preferred) fully clothed and receives a reiki treatment through a series of non intrusive hand positions.
Manipulation or pressure is not required. Reiki is safe, gentle and assists with relaxation to help you to feel calmer and more positive.

I hope that you leave feeling much better than you did when you arrived
"Reiki is energy within oneself"
(Quote from Mrs. Takata’s diary, Dec 10th 1935)
REIKI DISTANCE HEALING
Remote Reiki
Ideal for busy lifestyles or equally as a taster to Reiki
Remember that Reiki is energy within oneself. Distant reiki is a treatment fascilitated without the need of your physical presence.
This is a 30 minute individual session.
Clients benefit with very positive feedback through this method.
I am a volunteer practitioner for Reiki Medic-care providing remote reiki to NHS staff.

"Helping you to feel yourself again"
How does it work?
​
"The soothing comfort of the human touch, can make the world of difference to someone troubled or in pain emotionally and physically"
​
We live in a touch starved society.
​
Healing however is not just hands on but goes so much deeper.
We cannot place our hands on everyone as we walk by but we can peel back our own layers for our light to expand.
When we emanate our own light, this impacts on others – to feel better.
​
During a reiki session, a Professional Reiki Practitioner will use a series of non-obtrusive hand movements to stimulate the energy (Reiki) to move around the body.
​
You already have energy inside your body but when it is not flowing with ease, it can impact upon your well-being.
Working with Reiki manipulates the energy in order to restore balance in a gentle and natural way.
It is an effective way of releasing deep routed emotions as the layers are peeled away.
This is known as a cleansing and you may feel more emotional or a problematic pain may appear temporarily induced as these changes occur.
​
Reiki can help the body to achieve a state of calm. The relaxing nature of Reiki and its meditative qualities can assist to improve the feeling of overall wellbeing and an improved sense of self.
​
Our rational mind thinks we know what we need but our body knows better!
​
The experience will be very personal to you.
You do not have to be ill to receive Reiki.

PLEASE NOTE – As a practitioner, I do not diagnose conditions, perform medical treatment, prescribe substances or interfere with the treatment of a licenced medical professional.
Reiki does not compete with medical doctors or their treatments. It can be used as a natural therapy in order to complement them. It is not a replacement for prescribed medication or professional advice.
​
It is recommended that you seek advice from a licenced physician or licenced health care professional for any physical ailment that you may have prior to starting a healing session.

When will I need another session?
Although a course of 3-4 sessions can be beneficial to enable you to monitor progress, I always advise you to be guided by your inner self and listen to your own body.
​
Reiki is non obtrusive and therefore generally considered as safe.

Animal Reiki
How can it help?
Animals are our greatest teachers. They show us how to progress on our path with kindness and strength. They intuitively seem to understand how we exist so are naturals in accepting Reiki into their lives.
​
For terminally ill animals, it provides a compassionate support to assist with making the transition more peaceful for all.
​
In my own case studies, animals receiving reiki at a distance displayed a beneficial improvement to their owners following a short course of treatments.
