What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ‘ray-kee’) is a Japanese form of healing which activates the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It is a holistic therapy that treats each person as a ‘whole’. It works on many levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual - to restore balance and harmony in mind, body and spirit.
Reiki is entirely safe and can be experienced by anyone, of any age. Reiki is not a religion and you don’t have to have any particular beliefs in order for it to work. All that is needed is an open mind!
What are the benefits of reiki?
Reiki can indeed help with physical ailments and reduce pain but you don’t have to be ill to enjoy the positive effects of Reiki! It has many benefits and helps to restore balance on all levels. Some of the ways in which Reiki can help include:
-
Instilling deep relaxation & calm
-
Easing stress, anxiety & depression
-
Accelerating the body’s self-healing process
-
Helping in the management of pain
-
Releasing negative thoughts & emotions
-
Increasing focus & clarity of mind
-
Improving sleep patterns
-
Boosting energy levels
-
Promoting a positive outlook and sense of wellbeing

Reiki is a complementary therapy that works effectively alongside conventional healthcare treatment and medication. In fact, Reiki has become much more mainstream over recent years and is now commonly used in hospitals and hospices. Please note, medical advice should always be sought from a GP if you have any health concerns.
What to expect from your reiki experience.........
Appointments take place in the tranquil surroundings of my treatment room in a North Devon Village. Before the treatment there will be a short confidential consultation to establish the reason for your visit and give you a chance to ask any questions. During the Reiki healing you will remain fully clothed and lie on your back on a treatment couch (if this position does not suit then you can get into a more comfortable position or sit in a comfortable chair). Soft music is played to aid relaxation. My hands are placed on or above your body to allow the Reiki energy to flow. I slowly work through various hand positions starting at your head and finishing at your feet.
Your appointment lasts approximately 1 hour and this includes your introduction consultation, the treatment and time to have a glass of water and a chat after your treatment.
Although no two clients are the same, it is common to experience a sense of deep relaxation during a Reiki treatment and you may even find yourself drifting off to sleep. Don’t worry if you do, as the Reiki energy will work regardless. Some people may feel warmth or coolness from my hands whilst others may see colours or feel tingly. You may enjoy a sense of peace and inner calm. It really is a unique experience and can differ each time you have a treatment.
How does reiki work?
Reiki works on the principle that there are 7 main energy centres in the body known as ‘chakras’ which can become imbalanced or blocked due to the strains and stresses of everyday life. This can prevent the natural energy that runs through our bodies to flow freely. If our energy is blocked or low, then we may feel out of sorts, stressed or ill. On the other hand, if our energy is strong and free-flowing we are more likely to feel balanced, healthy and a sense of wellbeing. This energy is sometimes referred to as ‘lifeforce energy’ or ‘prana’ or ‘chi.’
A Reiki practitioner channels the healing energy by placing their hands in various positions on or above the client’s body. Reiki flows from the practitioner’s hands to re-align and balance these energy centres in order to restore harmony in mind, body and spirit.
How often should i have reiki?
Some people enjoy occasional Reiki treatments whilst others prefer a course of weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions to help with a particular condition or maintain a sense of wellbeing. It really is an individual choice and we can discuss your needs at your appointment. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or you would like to book a Reiki appointment.
about your reiki therapist
I had a Reiki treatment along time ago and felt it was 'Nice'. I then visited a therapist who is now my Reiki Master and I was totally blown away by the experience! I wanted to learn more about this holistic therapy and I qualified in my Reiki 1 allowing me to treat myself, family and friends. I learnt alot during this time and got more and more interested in the positivity that Reiki could create.
​
I decided to take my Reiki 2 qualification so that I could be a Practitioner, and Reiki Therapist. I started treating clients whilst living in Hertfordshire opening my yoga studio doors to the Mothers I had taught Baby Yoga and Kids Yoga to/with. Motherhood can take alot of energy from a woman as we juggle a thousand different areas of life, emotions, and 'to do' lists! Now I have re-located to North Devon and I am excited to open my new Reiki space to the women around me. What ever season of life you are living you are very much welcome to my new magical space.
Options
Reiki is for all and at my studio I welcome women during any of their seasons of life. There are two types of Reiki session that I offer;
Option 1.
Relaxation session; this focuses on submersing you in a calm and tranquil state of relaxation. The Reiki energy will flow around you helping you and your body to rest fully. All whilst the chakra energy points in your body are awakened and cleared by Reiki energy so that you and your body can function in a more balanced and harmonious way.
Option 2.
Spiritual session: This is for anyone who is interested in exploring their spiritual side and/or who fully wants to tune into their emotions and body. Whilst offering the Reiki I can tune into your vibrations and at the end of the session take time to discuss what came up. I offer clients the option to take away a notes sheet that I record any information on so that you may digest the experience and information at your own leisure (this is with no extra charge as I believe it is extremely beneficial to pass on the information).
Reiki is not a substitute for traditional medicine or therapies but it can be a wonderful complimentary addition. It can also help us to truly start to listen to our bodies and our inner self.
If you are interested to grow yourself in any way I would recommend exploring Reiki as a fantastic way to start communicating with yourself and your soul calling.
To chat about a session or to book please contact me directly I take bookings for wednesdays and weekends.
