What is reiki? - Reiki is a universal energy field which is transported through the practitioner and then to the client. Reiki is non-invasive and can cause no harm to the client nor the practitioner. Reiki primarily works on the 7 chakras supporting their alignment and/or blockages consequently supporting the client to have a more harmonious being. When a chakra is blocked or unaligned this can then cause issues within our being stopping us from being our best self.

How does reiki work? - Reiki is a form of hands on/hovering over the body healing. When I meet with the client we will discuss any areas of concern in order for me to establish possible chakra blockages. Usually the client will be asked to lay flat on a therapy bed and fully clothed, however, shoes may be removed. The practitioner will lay hands on or hover over the different areas of the body where the chakras are located along with areas connected to the chakras, this is in order to support their healthy functioning, to support the unblocking of chakras or to align the chakras.

How can reiki help us? - Reiki supports mental health by lowering anxiety, depression and stress. As reiki is performed in a quiet and calming space and usually with relaxation music, this gives the time for the client to zone out of life's usual stresses and strains giving for some much needed self care.
