Restore balance with Reiki & Healing
Traditional Usui Reiki

The Reiki system of healing was re-discovered by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th century and brought to the West by Hawayo Takata. Reiki means ‘universal life force energy’. It is the energy of life. This energy is within us, all around us and in all living things. When a Reiki practitioner’s hands touch something living, Reiki begins to radiate from their hands.
Reiki energy is activated through initiation from a Reiki Master – a direct transmission from teacher to pupil, containing the spiritual essence and knowledge of the teacher & all teachers before within that lineage. My lineage is traditional Usui Reiki that follows Hawayo Takata’s teachings without any changes or modernisation.
Healing
Like yoga and traditional oriental medicine, Healing is based on an energy flow / energy balance model of health & healing. For thousands of years, this approach has talked of a subtle life force energy (also known as Qi/Chi, Prana) flowing through and surrounding our bodies. If this flow is disturbed we experience symptoms of stress and ill-health.

In a Healing session, a natural healing energy flows to the recipient. Special attention is given to the energetic centres (chakras). Healing energy is loving in nature. It harmonises and enhances the flow of life force energy. Releasing tension and stress. Balancing emotions and energy. Strengthening the body’s regenerative self-healing ability and restoring a sense of well-being.
Healing is an evidence-based therapy, research has shown that it delivers improvements in symptoms and wellbeing. It’s recognised by Skills for Health as a complementary therapy. For more information please take a look at http://www.the-cho.org.uk/about-healing/what-is-healing/
What happens during a session?
We begin with a short consultation. Then you simply relax and rest, no clothing needs to be removed. I gently place my hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions, on and over the body, holding each one for a few minutes. I also work intuitively by sensing energy and being guided to where healing is needed. We conclude with a few minutes for reflection.
The Reiki & Healing may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all.
