Reiki , pronounced “Ray Key”,  is a Japanese energy healing practice in which the practitioner channels universal life force energy. 

Universal life force energy is the natural energy that supports all living things - the same life energy that keeps the body functioning, the heart beating, cells repairing, and the nervous system responding to the world.  It’s the underlying energy that sustains life.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner connects to Reiki, often with intention and symbols, and the energy then flows through their hands to the client.

The client's body receives the energy through the energy field which includes the:

• Aura (biofield) - the energetic field surrounding the body

• Chakras - energy centres aligned along the spine

• Meridians - energy pathways

Reiki is often described as having its own "intelligence". It flows to areas of

• Physical tension

• Emotional stress

• Energetic imbalance

From a clinical perspective, the "flow" of energy is closely linked to nervous system regulation. Reiki supports activation of the parasympathetic nervous system - the "rest and digest" state.

When this occurs, you may experience:

• Slower breathing

• Reduced muscle tension

• Improved circulation

• Lower stress levels

• Better sleep

• Emotional balance

A regulated nervous system supports:

• Immune function

• Hormonal balance

• Emotional resilience

• Physical recovery

By creating a safe and calm internal environment, Reiki helps your body to shift from survival mode into restoration mode. Here, the natural processes that support balance, clarity, and overall wellbeing can take place.

A Reiki session is a gentle, relaxing experience where you receive nurturing energy to support your body, mind, and emotional wellbeing.

Before we begin

We start with a brief check-in. This is a chance for you to share anything you're experiencing if you wish to, and to set a simple intention for the session.

There's no need to relive stories or explain anything - Reiki works whether you speak or stay quiet.

Getting comfortable

You'll lie fully clothed on a treatment table, or sit comfortably, if preferred. Soft music may play, and you'll be offered a blanket and eye pillow so your body feels supported and at ease.

The Reiki process

I gently place my hands either lightly on or just above different areas of your body, moving from head to feet.

During this time, I act as a channel for universal life force energy, allowing it to flow where your system needs it most. I'm not directing or forcing the energy - your body's own intelligence guides the process.

What you might feel

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. You may notice:

• Deep relaxation or a sense of calm

• Warmth, tingling, pulsing, or gentle waves of energy

• Emotional release, imagery, or insights

• Or simply a peaceful stillness.

Some people feel very little physically and still experience powerful shifts later. All experiences are valid.

After the session

We'll take a moment to gently come back. I may offer to share any impressions that arose during the session. You're welcome to share how you feel, or simply enjoy the quiet.

It's common to feel deeply relaxed, lighter, or more grounded afterward. Some people notice changes unfolding over the following days - emotionally, energetically, or physically.

Reiki meets you exactly where you are. You don't need to believe in anything, try to relax, or make something happen. Simply receiving is enough.

Everyone experiences Reiki differently.  You may feel deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, emotional release, or a sense of calm and clarity.  Some people feel very subtle sensations, profound shifts, or nothing at all.  All experiences are perfectly normal.

This varies from person to person. Some clients notice benefits after one session, while others choose ongoing sessions for continued support, balance, and self-care. You are always guided by what feels right for you.

Yes. Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive practice suitable for people of all ages.  It works alongside other medical or therapeutic treatments and does not replace professional medical care. 

No. Reiki works regardless of belief.  Being open and relaxed can enhance your experience, but no specific belief system is required.

Reiki continues to work long after your session has ended. You may notice subtle shifts over the next few hours or days as your body, mind, and energy integrate the healing. You may feel relaxed, energised, emotional, or calm - everyone's experience is different.

Please;

• Drink plenty of water

• Eat nourishing food

• Avoid excess caffeine or alcohol for the rest of the day

• Rest if needed and move gently

Emotional or physical shifts can occur 24-72 hours and are a normal part of the process.

Be kind to yourself and trust that Reiki is supporting your highest good.

If you have any questions after your session, feel free to reach out.

Distance Reiki allows you to receive Reiki energy no matter where you are.  Reiki is not limited by time or space, and is just as effective as in-person healing.

Before your session

We begin with a brief check in via text message or email prior to your appointment time. You may, if you wish, share anything you'd like support with and together we'll set a simple intention for the Reiki session.

During your session

At the scheduled time, I intentionally connect to your energy using Reiki, allowing universal life force energy to flow where your body and energy system need it most.

You may choose to lie down, sit quietly, or rest during the session. There's nothing you need to do - just be open to receiving.

Reiki works whether you're relaxed, distracted, or even asleep.

Experiences vary and may include deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, emotional release, or a sense of calm. Some people feel very little during the session and notice shifts later.

After your session

I will send you a text when the session is complete.

Afterwards, you may feel lighter, more grounded, or deeply relaxed, with changes continuing to unfold over the following days. Drinking water and resting can support the integration of the Reiki energy.
