Reiki ( Traditional Usui ) is a Japanese energy healing practice originating with Mikao Usui in the early twentieth century. It is based on the practice of working with Reiki energy to support balance, harmony and wellbeing throughout the whole person.

During treatment, the client remains fully clothed and rests comfortably while Reiki is offered through gentle hands-on or hands-off practice. Treatments are individual and may be experienced as warmth, tingling, movement of energy, emotional release, deep relaxation or profound stillness.

Reiki takes a whole-person approach, recognising the relationship between physical, emotional and energetic wellbeing. It is used both as a treatment in its own right and alongside other therapeutic and healthcare approaches.

What can Reiki help with?
