Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. The word 'Reiki' means 'universal life energy' in Japanese. Practitioners channel this universal energy through their hands to the recipient, with the intention of activating the body's natural healing processes and restoring physical and emotional wellbeing.

Sessions involve the practitioner placing hands lightly on or just above the body in specific positions, allowing energy to flow to areas of need.

Reiki promotes deep relaxation and reduces stress, supports emotional healing and release of trauma, alleviates anxiety and depression, reduces perception of pain, enhances wellbeing in cancer and palliative care patients, improves sleep, and fosters a sense of peace and spiritual connection. It complements conventional medical treatments and other therapies.
