Reiki (ray-key) is a holistic wellness practice that promotes balance and well-being in the body, mind and spirit. It elicits the relaxation response which optimizes the body's own natural ability to heal.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". I like the to think of it as "spiritually guided life force energy."
This non-invasive powerful method of healing allows the practitioner to channel energy to the client, allowing one’s body and mind to fully relax. It is a vibrational gentle touch that promotes a state of deep peace, releases tension and negative emotions bringing the body back to its natural state of balance.
The aim of this healing energy is to balance all levels of being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual as well as enhance the natural power of the body to heal itself.
Reiki restores energy balance and vitality by relieving physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress. Reiki is powerful, yet wonderfully gentle and nurturing. It supports and complements any medical or psychological healing method a person may be using. Reiki is a method to aid the body in releasing stress and tension through deep relaxation. Reiki is NOT a substitute for medical or other health care treatments. Reiki is safe and will not interfere with any medical care you're receiving.

What to expect from a session?
Reiki treatments are individually tailored to each client's needs and condition.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.
During your session, practitioners gently place their hands along specific sites of the body. Reiki is always done in a respectful, caring manner and can be adjusted for anyone who has difficulty with touch. Reiki passes through clothing, casts and surgical dressings. Recipients remain fully clothed during Reiki treatments. It's important to note that recipients do not receive any of the practitioner's energy but rather draw whatever healing energy is needed through the practitioner's hands.
Receiving a Reiki treatment is best approached with an attitude of openness, with no particular expectations.
