What Is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that works with your body’s natural energy flow. It’s based on the principle that life energy flows through us — and when that energy is low or blocked, we’re more likely to feel out of balance.

Reiki helps restore that flow, encouraging deep relaxation and emotional clarity. It’s a supportive, complementary therapy often chosen by people approaching their wellbeing holistically.

What Happens in a Session?

You’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable therapy couch, set up in my warm and peaceful home. You’ll be covered with a soft blanket to help you feel cosy and at ease.

I’ll gently place my hands on or just above your body in a series of positions — usually around the head, shoulders, torso, legs, and feet. Each session is different, depending on what your system needs. Most people describe feeling calm, safe, and deeply relaxed.

What Does Reiki Feel Like?

Experiences vary, but commonly reported sensations include:

• Warmth or tingling from the hands

• A deep sense of peace or emotional release

• Gentle images, thoughts, or daydream-like states

• Falling into light sleep or meditation

• Even if you don’t feel much during the session, your body may still be receiving the benefits.

Aftercare

After your session, you may feel relaxed, lighter, or more grounded. Drink plenty of water, and allow yourself time to ease back into your day. Many people enjoy a particularly good night’s sleep afterwards.
