What is Reiki and how can it help?
Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful, healing practice that originated in Japan, designed to balance the energy in your body and promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: rei, meaning "universal," and ki, meaning "life force energy." Reiki practitioners work by channeling this universal energy through their hands to help clear energy blockages, restore balance, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
how reiki works
Reiki works with the life force energy flows through us all. When this energy becomes blocked, stagnant, or unbalanced—due to stress, trauma, or emotional difficulties—it can lead to physical discomfort, emotional distress, or even illness. Reiki helps to realign and unblock this energy, encouraging the body and mind to return to a state of harmony.
During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands either directly on or just above specific points on your body, allowing the flow of energy to promote relaxation and healing. Sessions can also be done at a distance, with the practitioner directing energy to you without needing to be physically present, a technique known as distance Reiki.

While Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment, it complements traditional approaches by supporting the body’s natural healing processes. It can alleviate discomfort, boost immune function, and promote faster recovery from injury or illness.Enhance Mental Clarity and Focus
By clearing blocked energy and calming the mind, Reiki can enhance mental clarity and focus. Many people find they can think more clearly, make better decisions, and feel more in tune with their intuition after regular Reiki sessions.Improve Sleep Quality
