Reiki Treatment  - Opening offer - £25 per hour

Reiki (which is pronounced as Ray-Kee) is an ancient form of hands on healing treatment which originates from Japan.  Reiki is a subtle energy which is relaxing, balancing and gentle and its benefits may include:

  • Helping reduce stress and tension
  • Alleviates tiredness, fatigue and weariness leaving you feeling energised
  • Helps reduce pain and discomfort
  • Speeds up reocvery after a long illness or surgery assisting the body in healing itself naturally
  • Boosts the immune system
  • Promoting well being and feeling of balance
  • The treatment brings peace and harmony
  • It is non-intrusive. You remain fully clothed during the session.

Reiki is thought to be channelled through practitioners to where the Universal Healing Energy is needed.  Reiki energy has its own intelligence so it will go where it is most needed, according to the individual's requirements. The experience during treatment will vary from person to person.  However, feelings of deep relaxation and peace are normally felt by all.

What to expect from your treatment - The treatment will be explained to you and you will be made comfortable, fully clothed, on our treatment couch.  We will then start the treatment and energy will be channelled towards each of your major chakra points for a few minutes, helping you relax completely.   A wonderful relaxing, peaceful treatment for those who need some 'time out' of everyday stresses and strains.
