With roots in ancient Japan, Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is based on customs handed down for generations. In this therapeutic modality, the practitioner acts as a conduit for energy to flow through them, to you, by hovering their hands over certain areas of the body/chakras.

The term Reiki is a combination of two Japanese characters: Rei, which means "spiritual" or "sacred," and Ki which means "energy."  In the West, Reiki is often described as a healing therapy for the universal life force energy- an unseen force that gives us life and flows through us. It is believed that when this life force energy is low, we are more likely to become stressed or ill. When it is high, we are more joyful and healthy.
Reiki is considered a holistic system for healing, balancing, and personal growth. This technique has been known to reduce stress and anxiety, provide symptom relief, and improve overall health and well-being.  Reiki can restore the flow and balance of your energy to support healing - physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually- and help people become energetically balanced.  Clients remain fully clothed. No pressure, massage or manipulation of the body is involved. Reiki may be provided hands-on or hands-off, depending on your preference/practitioner.

Reiki treatments should not be used as a substitute for the consultation of a physician or a psychotherapist.

Reiki complements other types of medical and therapeutic treatments, and it can increase the efficacy of other types of healing.
