What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of energy healing that originated in Japan. The word “Reiki” means “universal life energy.” It is based on the idea that we all have a vital life force energy flowing through us. When this energy is low or blocked, it can lead to physical or emotional imbalance. Reiki practitioners use light touch or work just above the body to guide energy and help restore balance and promote healing.
How Does Reiki Work?
During a Reiki session, the client remains fully clothed and typically lies comfortably on a massage table or sits in a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands on or just above specific areas of the body, acting as a conduit for universal life energy. This energy flows through the practitioner’s hands into the client, supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Sessions can also be done at a distance, with the same benefits, through focused intention and energetic connection.

- Reduced physical pain or discomfort
- Strengthened immune response

Who Can Benefit from Reiki?
Reiki is safe for everyone, including children, seniors, and those undergoing medical treatments. It can be especially helpful for people experiencing:
- Chronic stress or burnout
- Emotional trauma or grief
- Fatigue or low energy
- Chronic pain or tension
- Life transitions or major decisions

Distance Reiki Available
Reiki energy is not bound by time or space, so sessions can be just as effective when conducted remotely. Distance Reiki is ideal for those who prefer the comfort of their own home or are unable to attend in person. Virtual sessions are conducted via phone or video call.
