Reiki Healing
What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is a healing technique that originated in Japan and is based on the principle that the practitioner can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. Our practitioners are all trained in the 5 principles of Reiki healing.
We all use our hands to generate the ‘chi’ energy. Our hands are placed over your chakra centers, to channel universal energy into your body. This channeled energy may assist in moving negative energy out of your body, grounding you, and making you feel clearer and more centered. Types of negative energy that people often suffer from include stress, anxiety, and muscle tension, all of which may benefit from Reiki.
What are the 5 Principles of reiki?
Reiki is a healing technique that was created by Dr. Mikao Usui in 1920. The word Reiki is derived from the Japanese kanji alphabet where ‘rei’ means ‘universal life force’ and ‘ki’ translates to ‘energy’. So Reiki is actually ‘universal life force energy’. The energy exists within all of us and all that surrounds us. An excerpt from the translation on a monument to Mikao Tsui at the Seihoji Temple in Tokyo states:
Do not become ANGRY
WORRY about nothing
Express one's GRATITUDE
Be DILIGENT in work
Be KIND to others
These became the five Reiki principles used during each Reiki session.

What to expect during a reiki session?
With Anna:
During your Reiki healing session, you will remain fully clothed and relax comfortably on a massage table. A soft blanket will be placed over your body to keep you warm, while gentle meditative music plays in the background to help calm the nervous system and quiet the mind.
Before the Reiki energy healing begins, Anna will guide you through a short meditation to connect you with your sacred space. She will then gently place her hands on or just above your chakra energy centres to support chakra balancing and energy flow. Crystals are placed over the body to assist with aura cleansing and energetic alignment, while Tesla purple plates beneath the blanket help create a supportive and positive energy field around you throughout the Reiki session.
With Lina:
Lina begins each Reiki healing session by connecting with you and setting a clear intention, creating a safe, supportive, and nurturing space for your energy healing journey. Her intuitively guided Reiki allows energy to flow freely through the body, supporting balance and alignment.
During the Reiki session, Lina may incorporate carefully selected crystals to enhance crystal healing and promote energetic harmony. The session concludes with the soothing sounds of a chime or copper sound bowl, supporting sound healing and leaving you feeling deeply relaxed, aligned, and gently restored.
With Deborah:
In preparation for each Reiki healing session, I begin with a 5–10 minute meditation to ground my energy and create a safe, protected space for healing. During this time, I invite guidance, protection, love, and clarity to support the energy healing process.
I then welcome my client’s guides and set a clear intention that the Reiki session provides exactly what is needed for their highest good. Throughout the Reiki healing, intuitive guidance directs where energy is moved and balanced within the client’s energy field. Messages may also come through during the session to offer insight, clarity, and support for the client’s healing journey and overall wellbeing.
