Reiki is a widely recognized, ancient art of natural healing, originating from Japan and eastern traditions.

It is pronounced "Rey-Ki". "Rey" means "Spirit's wisdom or higher power" and "Ki" means "Universal life force energy".

While you, as the client, lay fully clothed on a massage table, I channel “Universal Life Force Energy” through my hands to you, directing the energy to your seven major energy centres/chakras. Your body has the wisdom to know where this energy is in need and the Reiki energy boosts it own natural healing abilities.

Reiki heals on physical, emotional, mental & spiritual levels. Alone it can serve as a safe healing treatment for physical pain, injuries, and illness, or it can enhance any other treatments you may be receiving. Since it heals on all levels it can also increase mental clarity, release old emotions that block your energy pathways, or ground your sense of self, to name just a few benefits.

During a typical one hour session, some people will experience gentle sensations in their body as the energy is received, and others may have a more cathartic experience of releasing emotions.  As the recipient, it's beneficial to stay open and trust what information makes itself known to you through your 5 senses and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

For the most part, you will experience Reiki as providing deep relaxation, a sense of peace, balance, and renewed energy.  One client described her experience to me as a "gentle healing hug".

I also use energy healing when working with counselling clients; when exploring a particular issue, the energy healing provides another means of releasing the associated blocked energy, which manifests in the form of painful emotions, physical discomfort or dis-ease, or out-dated beliefs and patterns. In this way the transformation is all the more powerful.
