Reiki Healing
Reiki is a Japanese technique used for stress reduction and relaxation. This is based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through us all and that this energy is transferred through the practitioner’s hands; it is described as a system of natural healing.
When energy flows through our bodies we are in balance, which promotes a good mental, physical and emotional health.
It is administered by the laying on of hands whilst being fully clothed laying on a therapy bed. It also works through plaster casts.
Some benefits of Reiki are that it;
- Can reduce stress, pain and inflammation
- Only ever works to your highest good
- Supports all other forms of treatment including traditional medicine
- Is not linked to any belief system
- Treats all conditions including emotional imbalances
- Can be used on children, pregnant women and animals
Reiki has been described as deeply relaxing and comforting, promoting a feeling of peace and a sense of wellbeing. Clients may or may not feel sensations during the treatment, some people feel heat or a tingling sensation or may visualise colours. It can enhance the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
Some people have an emotional response which means that a positive shift is occurring within them.
There are no known contra-indications for Reiki (The Reiki Association).

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing modality where gentle hand movements are used with the intention to guide the flow of healthy energy (also known as life force energy) through the body to reduce stress and promote healing. The term Reiki comes from the words ‘rei’ meaning ‘wisdom and knowledge of the entire universe’ and ‘ki’ which means ‘life force energy’ and is used to describe a natural system to help bring about an improved sense of well-being and a positive feeling of spiritual renewal.

Reiki is universal life force energy that can be channelled through the hands of a reiki practitioner, attuned to this process. The reiki can be channelled by intention and without physical touch. It will flow to where it is needed to help that individual. Everything in the universe is made up of energy. Vibrating at different speeds. Some vibrating slowly so we can see it as physical matter (a table, chair etc), others vibrating faster so we cannot see it, but we still perceive it in our auric field (a hunch, a feeling you get, reiki). Reiki can be explained through the entanglement theory of quantum physics. Reiki can be used to help physical ailments but also emotional issues. Everyone can benefit from reiki as it will help to iron out any issues in the energetic field prior to them manifesting as a physical problem in the body, for that person. Many people feel a deep sense of relaxation or peace when having a reiki treatment. It has been reported to lower blood pressure, improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, reduce stress, reduce depression, improve mood and alleviate pain.
Being a qualified midwife, I also offer reiki for pre-conception, pregnancy and the postnatal period. This can help with fertility, nausea, tiredness, breastfeeding and emotional bonding with your baby.
