Your Questions Answered
Although it's getting better known, Reiki is still a bit of a mystery to many people. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you don't find an answer to your specific question here.
What is Reiki?
You may well ask. When I first heard about Reiki, I thought it was a form of massage. But I soon found out that Reiki is actually a form of energy healing.
Reiki comes from two Japanese words 'Rei' meaning universal, present everywhere and 'Ki' meaning life force energy.
Reiki taps into this universal energy and during a treatment the energy flows through the body to bring healing, balance and harmony.
Reiki can help heal physical ailments as well as emotional issues, anxiety, stress and much more.
Ultimately, it’s your body that decides where the energy needs to be directed!
I don’t believe in energy healing, will it still work for me?
Absolutely, Reiki works for everyone.
You don’t need to believe in it for it work for you.
What's Involved?
A full treatment lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
You don’t have to do anything except simply lie down, be covered in a blanked and relax. You don't need to take off any clothes.
If lying down is a problem for you, you can have a treatment while seated.
You don’t even need to be awake – most people find they drift off into a relaxing sleep.
I will place my hands on energy centres or Chakra points on your body so that the energy can flow to where your body needs.
You may feel some heat, sense the energy or see colours – each person has their own individual experience and it’s different every time.
Will I be OK after my healing?
I encourage you to take your time at the end of the treatment, especially if you're going to be driving as you may have been in a deep relaxation and need a little time to adjust.
I'll give you water after your treatment. It's also advisable to drink plenty of water for the rest of the day to help any toxins that may have been released to be flushed out.
Contact me if you feel you have any issues after the treatment.
What is Distant Healing
Unlike massage, reflexology, or acupuncture, Reiki uses universal life energy — which can be sent across any distance, just like a radio signal. Whether you're at home, at work, or traveling, Reiki can reach you wherever you are.
This form of Reiki allows you to receive the same benefits as in-person sessions — relaxation, emotional release, energy alignment — all from the comfort of your own space.
