Reiki is a powerful hands-on healing modality that allows the transfer of healthy, healing energy through gentle hand placements on the recipient's body. It is holistic in nature, meaning it provides healing at the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels of our being.

Some of the most notable benefits of Reiki are that it promotes relaxation and stress reduction, as well as the body’s ability to heal itself. It allows activation of the parasympathetic nervous system which results in lowered blood pressure and activation of the body’s own innate healing mechanism. Reiki is also powerful at clearing energetic blocks within the body that can manifest physically as disease and/or discomfort if left untreated. Other potential benefits may include: reducing symptoms of depression, reducing physical pain, emotional healing, and awakening intuition among many others!

Most people report feelings of deep relaxation and some fall asleep. Often clients report sensations of warmth and/or tingling where the practitioner's hands are placed or in other areas of the body. While these are common experiences during a Reiki session, each person‘s experience will be unique to them. 

A typical Reiki session lasts between 60-90 minutes. However, the length of the session may vary depending on the client's needs.
