Reiki

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a popular, gentle and effective therapy. The therapist works with their hands on or just off the body and so it is non-invasive but provides effective relief from pain or stress and you will leave feeling refreshed and deeply relaxed.

The treatment lasts for about an hour and you will be asked to remove your shoes before lying or sitting comfortably. The therapist uses their hands to channel Reiki energy to stimulate the body’s own healing power.

As Reiki is so gentle it is suitable for everyone: children; the elderly; pregnant women; anyone suffering from chronic conditions e.g. multiple sclerosis; acute conditions e.g. arthritis; those recovering from an operation or an injury e.g. broken limb.

The Reiki we practise today was developed by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan around the beginning of the last century. The word Reiki is understood to mean “Universal Life Force”.
