What is Reiki?
Energetic healing that works in harmony with all other forms of treatment (i.e. medical, psychological).
Japanese healing practice developed by Mikao Usui (1865-1926). Reiki’s roots trace back 2500 years.
Involves hands on touch or hands off, Ki or life force energy, to strengthen the body’s ability to heal on all levels physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
Reiki elicits the relaxation response of the body, creating a cascade of peacefulness and calmness.
Reiki is not a religion, but does have a spiritual foundation in supporting one to achieve harmony and balance for their highest good.
Reiki balances the energy systems of the body.
Reiki is all loving, all knowing and does no harm.
How is Reiki performed?
During a typical reiki session you lay comfortably on a massage table fully clothed, listening to tranquil music.
The reiki practitioner places their hands in a sequence of hand positions from the crown of your head to the soles of your feet.
A reiki session can be performed anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes long.

Let your emotions flows! A reiki session may often trigger deep emotional healing.
You may feel fatigue, feeling overtired and needing to sleep or rest.
