Unlock Your Healing Potential with Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a an energy-based practice that supports the body’s natural ability to return to balance. It works by calming the nervous system and supporting physical, emotional and mental well-being.
Reiki Practitioners use Reiki, aka Universal energy to heal imbalances and clear blockages in the energetic body. It encourages the recipient’s natural healing intelligence of their body to flow and to bring their system into balance and harmony working on a deep level helping relieve stress, anxiety, emotional fatigue, feeling stuck, pain and so much more.
“Rei” means Universe or higher intelligence and “Ki” means vital life force or energy. Therefore the word “Reiki” translates to “Universal Life Force” or “Universal Energy”. Universal Life Force or Universal Energy flows through all living things and sustains us all and keeps us breathing.
Reiki is a safe practice that can be used to complement traditional medicine and can be practised on young and old. It is not a religion, belief system or medical treatment. It does not require any faith or special spiritual belief. Anyone can receive Reiki.
It is important not to expect a certain outcome when receiving a Reiki session. Sometimes the benefits of Reiki can appear to be quite subtle. It may take time to integrate the healing. Other times the healing might be quite profound.
As a trained Reiki Master, I am acting as a facilitator of the healing; a channel for the universal energy to flow through to the person receiving the healing. I don’t control or direct the energy, nor do I diagnose or create a treatment plan. Instead, I act as a channel for the healing energy. This helps activate your body’s natural ability to heal, working to restore balance to your mental, emotional, physical, and energetic well-being.

This really depends on why you are coming in the first place and your needs. If you are coming in for relaxation and minor stress relief, you may only need one or a small handful sessions. If you are working on some deep or chronic issues, then more sessions would benefit you. Each session builds on the last, allowing for deeper healing and alignment over time.
You can liken the depth to which we can go to working out at the gym for example in the sense that, the more sessions you do, the greater the benefit. I also believe in empowering you and I often will give you personalised tools & techniques for you to do at home to further deepen your healing eg breathing techniques, self care tips, etc.

Each session builds upon the last and gives you a deeper benefit. It’s important to feel in to yourself when another Reiki session would benefit you.
As a general rule, allow one to two weeks in between sessions to allow space for you to process and integrate the healing energy from your session.
-
Reiki is a complementary therapy. It works really well alongside conventional therapies / treatments you may be receiving to support your overall wellbeing. It is important to treat yourself as a whole being who has physical, mental, emotional and physical needs with Reiki directing energy to help facilitate your body’s own natural healing response.

Reiki is a gentle yet powerful healing modality that has many positive benefits in mind, body, emotions and spirit. Reiki has been shown to:
Clear energetic blockages in the body
Clear and release stagnant, negative or emotional energy being stored in the body
Calm the nervous system
Induce deep relaxation
Balance and align the chakra system and can cleanse the aura
Reduce stress
Reduce anxiety and depression levels
Improve sleep and overall well-being
Improve clarity of mind
Trigger the body’s natural healing mechanisms, plus many other benefits.
Your body already knows how to heal. Reiki helps remove what’s in the way.
-
Reiki is energy. It flows between two people (or objects) irrespective of distance and space. Consider how you can connect to someone via phone, or wifi even though you are miles apart. It is the same with Reiki. It can be given and received via distance. (Read the section below on Distance healings for more info)
-
Whilst some massage therapists are also Reiki Practitioners and can channel Reiki whilst doing a massage, Reiki is not a massage therapy itself.
Reiki Practitioners do not manipulate muscles or tissues, rather they channel energy and use gentle, non invasive hand placements on (or off) the body instead.
I personally do not do Reiki Massage on clients.
-
Reiki can be learnt and practised by anyone who has the willingness to learn and train in it. Reiki, or Universal energy is within us all. No one person is more special than another, they just take the time to learn and practise the techniques and are attuned in to the Reiki energy.
-
Reiki is a hands on energetic healing modality (it can also be done hands off if preferred) that originated in Japan in its current form in 1922 by Mikao Usui. However, it is believed that people have practised some form of energy healing for thousands of years.
Reiki, by its’ very definition is Universal life force. Everyone has Universal life force, or Reiki within them, no matter what they believe in.
-
Reiki is non-denominational. It can be practised and received by anyone.
Reiki is energy, chi, ki, prana, whatever you call it in any language. It is the same energy and is universal. People from any faith can benefit from Reiki.
What to expect from a Reiki Session
At the start of the session, we will talk about what’s happening for you right now and what’s brought you in. This helps ensure the session is tailored to your needs and so I can serve you in the best way possible. You'll remain fully clothed, so wearing something comfortable is best as you’ll be laying on a massage table. I will guide you in to a relaxation, play soft music and place my hands on various parts of your body which roughly correlate with the chakra points. The hand positions are non-invasive, feel nurturing and will be explained to you before your first session so you know what to expect.
During the treatment, you may feel warmth or coolness or different sensations within your body, such as tingling or a release of emotions. Some people experience visions or emotional shifts. Every session is unique, even for the same person, but rest assured, the healing is always guided by what you need most at that time. Typically, people feel deeply relaxed; sometimes even drifting off into sleep, which is completely normal.
After your session, it is recommended to honour the healing by taking it easy, especially in the hours afterward. Be kind to yourself, and stay hydrated with plenty of water or tea as the energy movement may cause dehydration. You might experience an emotional release, feel especially relaxed, or even a bit tired as your body detoxes in the days following the treatment. All of these responses are part of the natural healing process.
Intuitive Healing Sessions
An Intuitive Healing session is an opportunity to dive deeper and is a wonderful blend of Reiki, Sound and an intuitive component. While the foundation remains a beautiful Reiki experience, the healing component may be extended to provide even deeper relaxation and support. Usually I incorporate Tibetan singing bowl sound healing and we engage in a conversation about the impressions / messages received.
During your session, we explore themes happening in your life and from this, I often receive channeled guidance for you. I like to empower you in your healing journey, and often I will give you personalised tools & techniques for you to do at home to further aid your healing journey. eg breathing, meditation techniques, self care tips, etc.
I encourage you to remain open to whatever unfolds during the session, as it will be tailored to meet your unique needs on that day. Each session is a personalised journey, and I look forward to exploring it with you!
One last note about healing
Please arrive for your session with an open mind and without any specific expectations regarding what Reiki will do for you on the day. Some physical symptoms that develop very quickly, such as headaches, can often be eased quickly, while others that have developed over a long period of time, like chronic conditions, usually require a few sessions before you begin to notice changes. While some individuals may experience results quickly, it’s important to remember that healing is not always the same as curing. The Universal Energy works in alignment with your unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs during each session.
It's essential to understand that no one can heal another person; everyone is responsible for their own healing journey. Sometimes people come to Reiki in search of a “quick fix”. Hoping that Reiki will repair an ailment, when in fact that person needs to do some work, in conjunction with Reiki to help heal this part of themselves.
Healing can take time. There are no magic fixes that make things just go away. It is important that the receiver do the inner work alongside their Reiki treatments if this is the case, in order to truly heal. You have to show up for yourself and take ownership of your journey.
As a Reiki Master Practitioner, my role is to open myself to the energy, allowing the energy to flow through me to you, offering unconditional support. Your body already knows how to heal. Reiki helps remove what’s in the way, and I am the channel clearing the pathway for you to walk through if you are ready.
If you feel ready for a Reiki healing session or an Intuitive Healing session, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to holding space for you on your healing journey!

Distance healings and how they work
A Distance healing session runs the same as an in-person session except that I can not place my hands on you physically.
There are so many reasons why a Distance Reiki session might work for you instead of an in-person session. You might not be able to make it physically in, you may want to experience healing in your own environment, be feeling unwell, too tired to come in, you can only make it at a certain time etc. That’s where a Distance healing might be more suitable than an in person session for you.
Energy modalities such as Reiki work on an energetic level by the flow of life force via intention no matter where in the world you are. Consider that there are things that we cannot see yet know they exist. For example, electricity, radio, mobile or wifi signals you cannot see but you still experience the effects of them. It is like that with Reiki and Intuitive healing. You may not see it, you may not comprehend it, but the energy is flowing and it works.
As a trained Practitioner of Reiki, I am acting as a facilitator of the healing; a channel for the universal energy to flow through to the person receiving the healing. Reiki works because everything in the universe, including humans are energy. Reiki promotes the recipient’s natural healing intelligence of their body to flow and bring their system in to balance and harmony.
I will ask for a Photograph of you for our Distance healing session. The photograph helps me to connect to your energy field and create a strong connection between us.
I ask that you set aside the specified time and create a space in your own environment so that you honour the healing energy coming your way. The session will still run the same way as in in person session, except that we are on the phone and the Reiki is performed from my end as if you are in the room. All of this will explained to you via email when you book and also on the phone when we have our session.
Please know that distance is not an obstacle for Reiki, just as it isn’t for electricity, radio, mobile and wifi.
* Distance healings are conducted over the phone or over Zoom if preferred.
“I have had the pleasure of receiving a distance Reiki healing from Joanne today. Right from the start Joanne put me at ease, she is very warm and friendly.
My distance healing from Joanne was very relaxing and gentle. After my healing Joanne was wonderful with her explanation of the session.
Joanne is very intuitive, understanding and kind. Our connection was instant and I felt calm throughout the healing. After the session Joanne gave me an intuitive drawing and a message from my guides. This was such a unique and special personalised gift.
Whether you have had Reiki before or you’re curious about trying it, I highly recommend Joanne for distance Reiki especially. Joanne is a genuine healer and her offerings are truly magical.”
