Reiki Energy Healing

A practice of stillness, presence and balance

Reiki is a Japanese energy practice developed by Mikao Usui in the early twentieth century. The word Reiki is commonly understood through two Japanese concepts: rei, referring to the universal or spiritual, and ki, the vital energy associated with life.

At its heart, Reiki is a gentle practice centred around presence, relaxation and energetic balance.

During a session, I place my hands gently on or just above different areas of the body, allowing the experience to unfold in stillness. There is nothing you need to do or achieve. You are simply invited to rest, breathe and receive.

My own journey with Reiki led me to Bali, where I was initiated as a Reiki Master in the Usui lineage. Today, Reiki remains an important part of both my personal practice and the holistic work I share with others.

For me, Reiki is not about forcing change or promising a particular outcome. It is about creating a quiet and supportive space where you can slow down, reconnect with yourself and allow your own experience to unfold naturally.

What to expect from a Reiki session

A private Reiki session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.

You remain fully clothed and rest comfortably, usually lying down. If lying flat is not comfortable, the session can easily be adapted to a seated or supported position.

I recommend wearing comfortable clothing so that you can relax fully.

The session usually takes place in silence or with very little conversation. I may work with gentle hands-on touch or hold my hands slightly above the body, always respecting your comfort and personal boundaries.

People experience Reiki differently. You may feel warmth, subtle sensations, deep relaxation or simply a sense of stillness. You may also fall asleep—and that is completely fine. There is no particular sensation you are expected to experience.

At the end of the session, we allow a few quiet moments before gently returning to conversation and, if you wish, reflecting on your experience.

Reiki as part of my holistic practice

Reiki may be experienced as a dedicated private session or integrated into a personalised holistic session alongside meditation, breathwork, yoga, sound healing or other complementary practices.

Sessions may be offered in person or, when appropriate, remotely.

Reiki is a complementary wellbeing practice and is not intended to diagnose or treat medical or psychological conditions, nor to replace appropriate professional healthcare.

Sometimes healing begins not by doing more, but by creating enough stillness to listen.
