What is Reiki?

Reiki translates to "Universal Life Energy" and is a beautiful Japanese energy healing technique. It helps to bring the mind, body and spirit back into balance through activating the body’s natural relaxation and healing response.

Energy can stagnate in the body for a number of reasons which can cause imbalances. Reiki energy is channeled through the practitioner and guided towards the client through gentle holds on the body, or above the body. It flows to where it is most needed and aims to raise the vibration of the energetic field and helps to move this stagnant energy. This then helps to bring you back into alignment and feeling your best self.

I’ve found it to be an extremely relaxing treatment and often very profound. I’ve had quite a few 'lightbulb’ moments whilst having a treatment which have lead me to understanding myself on a much deeper level. Along with massage and counselling, it's been a powerful tool for my mental health.

Of course, everyone’s journey and experience with reiki is different and no two treatments are ever the same. One day you might find it relaxing, another day it may bring difficult feelings to the surface to be transmured.

A few benefits include:

Relaxation and better sleep
Reduction in stress and anxiety
Relief of pain
To help speed up emotional or physical recovery

We are our own best healers and reiki can help to strengthen the relationship with your own inner healer. As a Reiki Practitioner, I’m here to hold a safe space for you on this journey. If you have any questions or are wondering if reiki is for you, please feel free to send me a message.

Distance Reiki | 30 Minutes - £30

All of the benefits of a reiki treatment but in the comfort of your own home. Reiki knows no time or distance - With your consent, I can connect to your energy wherever you are in the world. I will do a chakra scan to see where any imbalances may lie and provide reiki healing to any areas that I'm called to. We will arrange a time that suits where you can get comfortable and ready to receive. I will send you a message before I start and once I've finished. You will then receive a report of anything that came up and any recommendations I may have.

I've had amazing results with distance reiki, both giving and receiving. I find that some people find it easier to relax when they are alone and in their own environment, therefore the reiki can hit that little bit deeper.

Please note that this treatment isn't on my booking system - If you would like to book in, please email me at handmadeholistic@gmail.com.

What to expect at your appointment

We will go through an initial consultation form and discuss your medical history, lifestyle and anything else you feel is relevant. This is confidential and is to help me give you the best treatment possible.

During reiki you will remain clothed and will be lying face up on the massage table. I will then tune into the reiki energy which takes a few minutes. I will connect with you by placing my hands on your shoulders then I will proceed to work on the areas I feel called to go to. I will also do a chakra scan to see where any imbalances may lie and will give extra attention as appropriate.

I am sometimes called to use crystals in a reiki treatment and often will repeat positive affirmations in my head to support you whilst I am working. I also diffuse essential oils in the room.

At the end of the treatment, we will have a chat about anything that may have come up and I will go over some aftercare with you to help you maintain the benefits of the treatment.
