What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique in which universal life energy, or Chi (Qi), is channeled, to promote balance in the body, mind, and spirit. It originated in the early 20th century and is based on the idea that life force energy flows through all living things. When this energy is blocked, it can lead to stress and discomfort. Reiki aims to restore harmony by removing these blockages, supporting the body’s natural healing abilities.

How does it work?
Reiki practitioners use a hands-on or hands-above approach to transfer universal energy to the recipient. Through gentle touch, they target specific areas of the body, encouraging the flow of energy.

What to expect during a session
In a typical Reiki session, which lasts about 45 minutes to an hour, you’ll remain fully clothed while lying comfortably. The practitioner will place their hands on or above various points of your body, focusing on areas where energy blockages may exist. Most people report feeling deeply relaxed, with sensations of warmth or tingling as the energy flows. The experience is unique for each individual, but the goal is to bring balance and calm.
