Reiki
What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a hands on healing modality that originated in Japan in its current form in 1922 by Mikao Usui. However, it is believed that people have practised Reiki or some form of energy healing for over 2,500 years.
“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 an energetic healing modality. Energy can stagnate, be low or negative in the body where there has been physical, mental, emotional or spiritual pain. With time, these energy blocks can contribute towards illness. Reiki can be used as a way to promote overall balance in body, mind, emotions and spirit.
Reiki works because everything in the universe, including humans, are made of energy. Reiki promotes the recipient’s natural healing intelligence of their body to flow and to bring their system into balance and harmony.
Reiki can be done either hands on or hands off. As Reiki is energy, the energy still works the same irregardless of whether hands are on or off the receiver.
Reiki is a safe practice that can be used to complement traditional medicine and can be practised on young and old, in hospitals and in many different settings.
The benefits of Reiki
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful healing modality that has many positive benefits in mind, body, emotions and spirit. Reiki has been shown to:
Reduce stress
Reduce anxiety and depression levels
Improve sleep and overall well-being
Calm the nervous system
Induce deep relaxation
Balance and align the chakra system and can cleanse our aura
Clear and release stagnant, negative or emotional energy being stored in our body
Trigger the body’s natural healing mechanisms, plus many other benefits
It is important not to expect a certain outcome when giving or receiving a Reiki session. Sometimes the benefits of Reiki can appear to be quite subtle. It may take time for the receiver to integrate the healing. Other times the healing might be quite profound.
It is important when receiving Reiki to be open to what the healing energy is doing as it always comes from a higher place.
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 am assisting you to open up to the healing power of Reiki supporting you on your journey to wellness.
What to expect from a Reiki Session
A Reiki treatment is a gentle and relaxing experience where the Practitioner uses light touch to allow healing energy to flow through their hands to you. The Practitioner doesn't control or direct the energy, nor do they diagnose or create a treatment plan. Instead, they 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.
At the start of the session, there will be a consultation to understand what has brought you in, and the Reiki process will be explained. 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. Once settled and comfortable, you’ll be encouraged to close your eyes, relax, and enjoy the session. I will guide you in to a relaxation / meditation, 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 truly 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 a wonderful blend of Reiki and additional healing modalities! While the foundation remains a beautiful Reiki experience, the healing component may be extended to provide even deeper relaxation and support. We may incorporate Tibetan singing bowl sound healing, engage in a conversation about the impressions / messages received, and you may also be gifted a Spirit-guided drawing (in pencil) and /or channeled message from your spirit team.
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, may 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 other 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 their inner work alongside their Reiki treatments if this is the case, in order to truly heal.
As a Reiki Master Practitioner, my role is to open myself to the energy, allowing higher consciousness to flow through me and offering unconditional support to you.
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 why they work
There are so many reasons why a Distance healing might work for you. 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.
A Distance healing session runs the same as an in-person session except that I can not place my hands on you physically.
Energy modalities such as Reiki work on an energetic level by sending the 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 ourselves is made of 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 link up 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.
