Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice based on the principle that a practitioner can channel universal life force energy to the recipient, activating their body's natural ability to heal. It works on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels simultaneously.

Cultural origin

Japan — developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. Holy Fire® Reiki is a more recent evolution developed by William Lee Rand.

What a session involves

The client lies fully clothed on a treatment table. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body, working through a series of positions. Sessions are deeply peaceful and last 60–90 minutes. Many people experience warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation.

Who it's for

Anyone. Reiki is safe for all ages and conditions, including during pregnancy, illness, and end of life. It is widely used alongside conventional medical treatment.
