Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy.

Life Force Energy flows through every living thing. We are surrounded by an electromagnetic field known as an Aura which contains energy centres called Chakras. This energy field supports the physical body. Our energy field can be affected by our environment, thoughts, emotions and lifestyle. It is necessary therefore to obtain and keep a balance of energy. The receiving of Reiki clears the energy channels and aura relieving any blockages and allowing the energy to flow freely, maintaining good health and wellbeing.

Reiki energy also works deeply with emotions and the mind to ease suffering, allowing a ‘letting go’ process so that harmony is regained. On a physical level the benefits of receiving Reiki are many. Each person is unique and Reiki can be used to heal all purposes and conditions.

General benefits are:

Deep relaxation
Ease of aches, pains and tensions
Strengthened immune system
Reduction of inflammation
Rebalance of the energy system
Reduction of stress and anxiety
Speeding up of natural healing process
Promotion of positive outlook
Increased confidence in response to challenges


Reiki treatments take place in a quiet peaceful room in my house overlooking my garden. The client is asked to lie down, fully clothed, on a comfortable treatment couch with pillows and a blanket if needed. If a client is unable to lie down on the treatment couch then Reiki can still be given whilst they are sitting on a chair.

Treatments last for an hour. During this time I become a channel for Reiki. The energy does not come from me but through me as I gently place my hands on the recipient. I can use hand positions above the client’s body if this is their personal preference, beginning at the head and moving down to the feet. There are many hand positions for Reiki and I use the ones that I am intuitively guided to use. I then ask the client to turn over and continue treatment on the back until all areas have been covered. I have given Reiki treatments where I have spent the whole session covering one or two areas only. I follow my intuitive guidance during a treatment and the Reiki energy does the rest. Clients usually feel a gentle heat sensation which is the most common response as they feel the energy moving in and around their body. Many of my clients fall asleep during a treatment such is its peaceful effect.

Improvements are often felt after one session and I am client guided as to when and how often a person wishes to receive further Reiki. Many people enjoy the sessions so much that they continue to attend regularly using the time to relax from daily pressures and stress and as general maintenance.

Reiki is a safe treatment and is for everyone, including animals. It is a complementary therapy which can be received alongside medical treatment and other complementary therapies.
