What is Reiki? A Gentle Flow of Healing Energy.

​

Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a holistic, non-invasive energy therapy that originated in Japan. The word translates to "Universal Life Force Energy." As a Reiki Master, I act as a compassionate conduit for this intelligent, healing energy, allowing it to flow to where it is most needed for you.

​

· The Core Principle: Reiki works with the body's subtle energy system (similar to the Qi in acupuncture) to support its natural ability to heal and find balance. Stress, illness, trauma, or significant life changes (like surgery, a life-limiting diagnosis, or loss and bereavement) can disrupt this energy flow, leading to physical discomfort, emotional turmoil, anxiety, or a sense of disconnection.

​

· How it Works: During a session, I place my hands lightly on or just above your body in a series of specific positions. There is no pressure, manipulation, or massage. The Reiki energy flows through my hands, promoting deep relaxation, releasing energetic blockages, and encouraging the body and mind to return to a state of equilibrium. It cultivates a profound sense of peace, safety, and connection to oneself and something greater.

​

· Why Reiki? Reiki is exceptionally well-suited because it is:

· Gentle and Non-Invasive: Perfect for sensitive skin, post-surgical recovery, pain, frailty, or times when touch needs to be minimal. No need to remove clothing (except shoes/outerwear).

· Deeply Relaxing: Induces a state of profound calm, reducing stress hormones and activating the body's natural relaxation response – crucial for healing and coping.

· Holistic: Addresses emotional distress (fear, grief, anxiety), and spiritual needs (finding meaning, peace, connection) simultaneously.

· Adaptable: Can be given while seated, lying down, in a hospital bed, hospice room, or even remotely (distance Reiki). Sessions are tailored entirely to your comfort and energy levels.

· Supportive of Conventional Care: Complements all medical treatments and therapies without interference.
