Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Using hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Mikao Usui developed Reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.

How does reiki work? Reiki practitioners act as a conduit between you and the source of the universal life force energy. The energy flows through the practitioner’s hands to you.  

The patient determines the energy flow from the practitioner’s hands by taking only what they need. This helps the patient know that we are supporting them only in what they need rather than what we think they need. This makes it the perfect balance to meet the patient’s needs.

Can reiki replace traditional treatments? No. 

Reiki treatment 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.  

If you’re already in good health, though, regular reiki treatments can enhance your ability to respond to stress and serve as a form of preventive medicine.
