What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a unique 'hands on' healing system. It is a safe and gentle but powerful complementary therapy. Being complementary, Reiki works effectively alongside orthodox healthcare as well as other natural remedies increasing treatment options.

Reiki's gentle energy is readily adapted to most medical conditions and may be used safely with people of all ages including babies, pregnant mothers, surgical patients, the frail and the elderly as there is no massage or pressure involved. Reiki is also beneficial to animals.

Reiki is a natural healing energy activated by intention. Reiki energy works on every level, mental, emotional and physical. The modern practice of Reiki was developed by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century. The Japanese work Reiki means "Universal Energy", this energy, also known as life force energy, flows through all living things. During a Reiki treatment the practitioner will support, but not manipulate, this flow of energy through the body.

Reiki is therapeutic but not diagnostic however, so it is always advisable to consult a GP over any undiagnosed health concerns.
