All About: Reiki

What is reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

What does reiki feel like?

As I work my magic persay, you may feel a warm or pulsing energy coming from my hands. Over time you will feel deeply relaxed, and may even fall asleep - completely normal by the way! You may also experience visualizations of memories or colors, also completely normal!

What should I wear for my reiki session?

If you're JUST getting a reiki treatment: Wear clothes you feel most comfortable in.

If you're getting a massage with a reiki treatment: You can wear what you'd normally wear during a massage and you will be covered up the entire time. Usually I begin reiki & massage sessions with the massage portion. If you feel like you'd like to get changed for reiki portion, just let me know.

Should anybody avoid reiki?

Absolutely not, reiki is a gentle (hands off) therapy. Perfectly safe for anybody and everybody!

Is reiki safe for moms to be?

Absolutely yes! Over the years I've even seen soon to be mom's hours before baby makes their arrival into this world, and mom always report a better labour!

How will reiki benefit me specifically?

Truthfully it's hard to say with 100% certainty as we're all different, but reiki is great for healing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
