Reiki Treatments

A Reiki treatment is effective for addressing the following issues/conditions:


  • Relieving stress and anxiet

  • Improving overall well-being

  • Minimising discomfort from acute or chronic pain conditions

  • Reducing recovery time from injuries or surgery

  • Setting healthier habits

  • Promoting emotional healing within relationships




What to expect in a Reiki treatment?

Reiki treatments are offered in a safe, compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental environment. Clients are encouraged to view a session as part of their overall wellness journey, one that they enter into freely and take responsibility for self-care and inquiry into the resolution of their issues.

For those new to Reiki, a client remains fully clothed during a treatment while either laying on a massage table or seated in a chair. Other adjustments can be made to accommodate current health issues or disabilities. A series of hand positions, applied gently on or just above different areas of the body are used to sense areas of imbalance and help stimulate the body’s self-correcting mechanisms.

A quiet, deeply relaxed state is encouraged for restorative healing. The more balanced you are, the easier your body is able to heal itself. Reiki strengthens your natural balance within to keep you at your optimum health.



What to expect after a Reiki treatment?

The outcome after a session is usually feeling refreshed, serene, relaxed with an increase in positive energy. Most feel almost immediately that any pain or stress they had felt disappears.

Individual healing response times may vary, although people who are addressing a specific issue usually experience positive results in a shorter period of time with a series of weekly or twice-weekly sessions (4-6 in total).

If you have a serious or chronic condition multiple sessions are advisable until your symptoms are completely gone. Your body will pick up the healing Reiki energy where it left off the next time you have another session.


Reiki for Relationship Healing

Humans are naturally social beings and cannot live in isolation for long periods of time. Our relationships help to ground and connect us. There are times in our life though that we simply cannot resolve certain relationship issues. Some are too unstable and some have an old connection that lingers on.

In some case there may be some unresolved issues that can help heal a relationship which does not seem to be moving forward despite efforts.

Reiki energy flows across space and time. It targets where healing needs to occur without asking why. A healing session for a couple will channel Reiki to the individual so that it can heal what needs to be healed. The energy goes to the source and begins to heal the reason behind the issue and not the issue itself.

Reiki works very well in relationship healing. Even if only one person wants to heal a relationship, Reiki works it’s magic for the greatest good of all.

Reiki for Grief

Losing a loved one is a natural part of the cycle of life. Grief is the process of adjusting to a new reality after the loss. When in the grief state, we may experience very deep emotions ranging from shock, anger, sadness, regret, disbelief, confusion with moments of relief. At times, it could feel like someone ripped your aura and took a piece of you that is now missing.

Grief and sadness operate on their own timetable, and people need time to reach a place of peace and acceptance. There is no one right way to walk through those stages of the journey; it is different for everyone. Reiki cannot remove the grief but can help you come to terms with the rollercoaster of emotions during its early stages.

A Reiki healing for grief offers a balancing, compassionate and caring approach which will give clients the opportunity to move through the process with grace.

Reiki For Stress/Tension

One of the greatest Reiki healing health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the bodies natural healing abilities, and improves and maintains health. Reiki healing is a natural therapy that gently balances life energies and brings health and well being to the recipient.

When we are relaxed and stress-free, we are able to restore our natural ability to heal.

Long term practice of whole-body Reiki will work to restore the general condition of the body. It will open up the energy channels which will allow the body to deal naturally with stress and built-up toxins.

When a person is in good health, regular Reiki can increase the bodies built-in defences. This will manifest itself as confidence and outward harmony in dealing with everyday activities.

A Reiki healing session can induce an extremely comfortable state of being that can bring alteration in the clients consciousness.

When used with other natural therapies (meditation, crystals) Reiki will reinforce their effect.

Reiki for Anxiety/Depression

Anxiety and depression can affect any individual irrespective of age and sex. The condition often arises due to high expectations of self. It may affect sleep, concentration, level of thinking, appetite and psychological conditions. Reiki can be used effectively to assist in the healing process and speed up recovery time.

With regular Reiki for this issue, anger and restlessness as well as unexplained headaches, stomach ache and back pain can be eased. It can also lower the risk of being addicted to drugs and alcohol etc. Reiki heals depression from its root and can free anyone from suicidal thoughts. Reiki is effective when used along with regular medical treatment.

Scientific research has proved the positive effects of Reiki on anxiety/depression. Primarily, Reiki reduces the mental stress, anxiety, depression and the pains associated with it. Any negative thoughts, emotions and feelings interrupt the flow of life force in your body. Reiki produces a positive effect by dissolving the blocks in the flow of energy.

In a spiritual way, Reiki for depression can go a long way to heal the source of the inner issues and help a person lead a happy and prosperous life.

Reiki for Migraines

Migraine can be described as a throbbing and pulsating type of pain that usually occurs on one side of the head and can last for a few hours to even several days. Some people experience vomiting, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound and its severity can increase to such an extent that you can only find comfort in a dark and quiet place.

Scientifically speaking there are several reasons that can trigger migraine headache: such as anxiety, changes in sleeping patterns, certain type of foods, stress, environmental changes such as change in weather and hormonal changes (in women). It is believed that all of these triggers produce migraine as a side effect by either blocking or mis-aligning a chakra.

A migraine can be soothed, and most likely cured, by just balancing and opening up the blocked chakras using Reiki energy. There are seven chakras (energy centres) altogether, each controlling the physiological properties of different body parts and the two chakras responsible for migraine are located around the head.

Reiki/Spiritual Counselling

When Spiritual Counselling is mentioned, the mind may start to imagine thoughts as to its benefits and if at all, the outcome will be any better than ‘traditional’ forms of counselling.

All forms of counselling have a place in this world and with that, what works for some people may not work for others. There may be some people that prefer to spend months to years going to a Counsellor and never truly finding an end to their suffering. There may also be some that come to the cause of their emotional turmoil quickly and without too much pain.

When combining Reiki with Spiritual Counselling, finding your own way out of the emotional maze can be faster and clearer. It will work with you, not on you. It works from a pure, raw and fresh place to unlock that door that you may have been hiding behind for a long time. We work together to dissolve the fears within.

There will be no true benefit to using Counselling if the client is not on their own journey of self discovery and freedom from mind blocks.

If the time is right and you feel stuck, lost or sick, then you will be ready to shift what is needed for your next stage of the journey.

Reiki Reading

Reiki Reading is a healing technique that is used as as part of a standard treatment. All people have intuition (or guides) and during a treatment, messages are received from them, as well as deceased 'loved ones'. Messages are always unique for each person but all have the same undertone of unconditional love, guidance, patience, and wisdom.

Messages received usually come in to help guide or assist with issues or decisions that the person may be facing in their lives. It can help to heal old hurts on an emotional and soul level. Sometimes in addition to the guidance, spirits will just come in to provide more healing.

In addition to communicating with spirit, negative energies (or cords) coming from people who are still living may be seen on a person. During the healing, (with permission), cords to past and present people, places, or things that are bringing the person down and causing stress and unhappiness can be removed. Cords are very common!!

All messages and cord-cutting are communicated to the client in real time so that the person is conscious of what is being healed and what negative energy is being removed. It gives a client an opportunity to ask questions as well.

Incorporating what is seen heard and felt during a standard Reiki treatment has produced some amazing results!
