This is a very relaxing therapy where I would either work on one particular area in need of balancing or on the whole body. I use Reiki healing energy and hands on touch, where appropriate, and with the client’s permission. I work with the chakras to balance the energy throughout the body. As a client you would lie in a relaxed position while I work around you.

I also use Reiki as a tool to help remove emotional blockages that seem to manifest in physical tension in different areas of the body. The technique is non-invasive and pain free. One of the benefits of using Reiki to access the effects of emotional trauma is that you don’t have to tell me anything about the issue unlike some of the talk therapies. This can work well for some clients.

There is no typical Reiki session, no set protocol or length of time. Reiki can be administered by anyone who has training, which could be a professional practitioner, a healthcare provider, a friend or family member, or even you yourself if you have been trained in Reiki. A quiet place is preferable, but Reiki can be done anywhere, no matter what else is happening either around or directly to the recipient. Moments of touch from a Reiki-trained practitioner can bring comfort in an acute or emergency situation, such as the onset of the flu, or after an injury or surgery
