What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction & relaxation that also promotes healing. Reiki is a system of natural healing whereby I position my hands just above or lightly on your fully clothed body while lying on a massage bed. The Universal Life Force Energy then flows from Source through my hands to the energy points within your body. Reiki, amplifies energy, wholeness & well-being because Reiki works on the physical, emotional, mental & spiritual bodies. Reiki soothes away many different troubles & traumas in a gently yet powerful way. It is a passive experience where you either feel the warmth from my hands, tingling or just fall into a very relaxing sleep. The energy healing carries on working through your body for approximately a week, clearing out all that no longer serves you. Reiki is safe, calming, & relaxing suitable on young, the not so young, expectant mums & pets.

Invest in Yourself:
Take a small retreat from your busy life to relax & enjoy a peaceful, gently, healing session with me. Improve your physical, emotional, & spiritual well being. Reduce anxiety, stress & tension. As an extra service I can create a crystal healing bracelet specific to your needs complimenting your therapeutic experience.

Thank you, I look forward to helping you on your healing journey.
