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 
  • Increasing relaxation and focus
  • Mitigating side effects of medication
  • Relieving and managing pain
  • Reducing anxiety, stress, and worry
  • Bringing about a sense of peace and wellbeing
  • Connecting with your inner wisdom and creativity
  • Mitigating side effects from cancer treatments
  • Improving blood pressure
  • Strengthening the immune system
  • Supporting and nurturing the body during pregnancy and postpartum times
  • Speeding up the body's healing process 
  • Getting clarity

How many sessions are recommended?
Just one session can change be a great support and boost of energy.
