What is Reiki?
Japanese healing art that promotes the body to engage its inner resources and stimulate balance.
Reiki is a non-manipulative, and gentle touch that helps a client get into a deep state of relaxation.
When the body is relaxed, the levels of cortisol and adrenaline decrease, and it is easy for the client's body to relax and focus on self-healing.
During the session, the client is fully clothed, laying on a massage table.
Reiki sessions can be targeted to specific areas if you have a particular issue.
Benefits of Reiki
How many sessions are recommended?
Just one session can change be a great support and boost of energy.
Reiki is cumulative, so it can be beneficial to receive a series of sessions to get more lasting results.
Typically, clients come weekly for one month and then begin to space out sessions to bi-weekly and then monthly.
