Reiki is a healing modality that started in Japan in the early twentieth century.  It is a form of hands on (and off) healing where Reiki energy is channeled through the therapist to the client. Regular contact with Reiki can bring the recipient’s mind, body and spirit into balance.  Reiki is a complementary treatment that does not replace or interfere with conventional medical treatments.  It is excellent for reducing stress, relaxing the mind and body and clearing and focusing the mind.  It can be a great support to the overall physical, mental and emotional healing process.

During a treatment it is possible that various sensations may be felt such as tingling, warmth, coolness and a heaviness or lightness of the body.  Each treatment normally lasts one hour.  The client lies on either their front or back (or both) on a comfortable couch and simply relaxes while the therapist places their hands on or over certain areas of the body.  A blanket can be used for warmth and there is no need to remove any clothing.  Shoes and any bulky clothing may be removed for comfort.
