Pronounced ray-key, meaning 'universal life energy', Reiki is a Japanese system of healing to promote wellbeing. It eases physical, mental and emotional stressors that may inhibit the body's natural flow of energy and lead to discomfort or disease.

Many individuals become aware of their energy flow through practices such as meditation or yoga. With similar energy, Reiki gently eases any disruptions creating a deep sense of relaxation and peace. It is a profoundly powerful yet gentle healing tool with far-reaching benefits.

Reiki is an effective holistic healing technique working on the mind, body and spirit. Energy is conducted from the giver to the receiver stimulating the body's natural healing capacity. It can be used alone or with other treatments and is suitable for anyone who is stressed and in need of emotional, physical or energetic refreshment.

What is Reiki helpful for?
Reiki is ideal for treating all kinds of physical and emotional difficulties and aids toxin elimination. Physical problems can be manifestations of emotional problems. Those who experience Reiki may therefore feel a sense of emotional release and physical relaxation as the Reiki energy works on the core of problems. Reiki may also help individuals to gain a greater awareness of their own energy and support spiritual and emotional growth.

What to expect during a treatment...
Reiki sessions take place fully clothed whilst you are lying on a massage table. The practitioner places their hands on or just above your body in a sequence of positions. You may experience heat, tingling or simply a deep sense of relaxation. Karen incorporates Applied Energy Flow techniques during Reiki sessions according to each individual's needs.
