Reiki
In each session, whether Reiki or Soft Tissue Therapy I work with you to get the most out of your session, so it is important to practice the exercises provided to you. Treatments, especially Reiki, generally continue like a pebble hitting still water, it causes ripples and can continue for hours, days, occasionally weeks depending on how deep we work.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is the universal energy that is around us, within every atom of particles, known as different things in various cultures and practices. It is also a spiritual practice, some like myself call it a lifestyle, which helps condition the mind and body thus improving each individual’s life by delving in deeply, but it is better known for the healing therapies.
Reiki Practitioners connect and channel this energy into others to promote a meditative state allowing the natural healing processes on all levels – it works physically, mentally and spiritually. Often clients would come to a Reiki Practitioner hoping to work on specific symptomatic issues, however, Reiki generally goes to the route of the issue and work from the cause and not the symptoms. It is subtle but can also be an intense experience; responses to treatment can vary greatly.
You do not need to be spiritual or religious to practice it. It’s technically tuning into nature itself, not owned by anyone nor a cult. We have governing bodies to ensure good practice by all individual practitioners.

But… How does it work?
I do wonder what other practitioners say… With advancements in technology, maybe we will be able to understand the interactions in more detail in the near future!
Coming from a holistic, scientific and technological background, it’s hard to not link things up this way to explain how it all works…
To me, I feel that my intentions and energy channelled through me are carried over to the recipient through all the surrounding atoms in the air – potentially via a certain wavelength of the magnetic spectrum, which then works on the individual at a molecular or atomical level. Hence it can travel across a distance to provide ‘distance healing’. Consequentially, this wave of energy assists the individual into a meditative/healing state, allowing them to focus on the messages from their body and to concentrate on the physical or emotional issues that need to be worked on. Being in this meditative state, which is also known as a hypnogogic state, allows the tension held through daily stressors to be gently released. This further aids the physiological healing, because without good circulation, suppressed by the tensions in the areas, the body doesn’t get the full benefits, nutrition, waste drainage and proper interaction with the brain.
Of course, by laying hands on an individual, not only do all the above occur, but psychologically it can affect the person as well. It is calming like a parent holding their child safely. For individuals who have had minimal contact with other people, it could be a physical and psychological shock where they may feel they need to withdraw and avoid opening the floodgates for the initial sessions, or they may feel so overwhelmed, that all the pent-up emotions release.
This is the reason why I feel that health should be approached from a multi-level perspective and not just physiologically, but holistically (where it encompasses every entity related to an individual’s life).
Reiki Sessions & Expectations
- Sessions are non-invasive, always fully clothed and can be performed either lying down or seated.
- Practitioners can provide the treatment either with hands gently resting on you or hands off you.
- The practitioner can either be advised of the ailment you want to work on or they can work on you by performing a body scan or work on you intuitively.
- Reiki sessions can be in-person or sent from a distance.
- Try not to have any set expectations in any sessions as each session can vary significantly, but if you do have an issue, you can focus on it whilst the Reiki Practitioner channels Reiki into you.
- Most importantly open your mind, relax and be ready to receive.
- During the treatment, you will go into a transic meditative state. So do take your time to come back to the here and now before you go about your day.
*Reiki is not a miracle cure and does not replace medical care, but a complementary therapy to assist healing. If you need medical attention, please seek professional assistance. Then Reiki sessions can complement your primary care. Healing takes time; like how a rope gets knotted over time, the duration it takes to unknot the rope depends on the complexity.

1 Hour Group Reiki (In-person):
£15 per person – Max. 4 people
Reiki sessions can be relaxing and energising but each session may vary in outcome depending on intentions and other variables. A group session is a guided meditational journey for multiple people which can be for healing, de-stressing or re-energising. I practise Usui Reiki Ryoho and my treatments are purely Reiki, but occasionally I use tools such as meditation, singing, chanting, sound bowl and tarot/oracle cards to provide you with extra guidance or to strengthen the connection.
Your session will include a short breathing exercise for the whole group, followed by the Reiki treatment of 60 minutes where Reiki will be sent to the whole group at the start and end, and giving 1-on-1 in between. This leads onto time for individual questions or feedback.
The session includes a single tarot reading per person for general guidance.
If you would like an in-person group session, please contact me via the email above or the contact form to discuss and arrange.
*Please allow at least 2 hours for this booking for attendees to settle and post-session feedback.
I am also available for event bookings and retreats, creating the safe space for individuals to fully relax.
Reiki (Distant):
30 Minutes (£30) / 45 Minutes (£45) / 1 hour (£60)
(All sessions timings include consultation and post-session discussion, for example, 30 minute session will have approximately 15-20mins hands-on time with 10-15mins discussion)
Reiki sessions can be relaxing and energising but each session may vary in outcome depending on intentions and other variables. Distant Reiki allows you to be in the comfort of your own home so you don’t need to worry about travelling post-treatment.
You will receive a call when the session begins to ensure you are comfortable and you are ready to receive Reiki, as well as ask questions. You won’t need to stay on the phone, I will start to channel Reiki to you and then when the time is up, the session will end and I will send you a message. You can take your time and then either drop a message or call me for feedback and further questions. We recommend to ensure you are warm and able to be seated or lying down with no distractions throughout your session and encourage you to be relaxed and not have expectations. Be open and allowing the energy to flow.
For follow-up sessions you will have the option to receive the phone call or just set a timer and be ready to receive.
