Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word “Reiki” combines two Japanese words, “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life force energy), reflecting its core idea: that a universal energy flows through and around all living things, and that this energy can be channelled to support healing, relaxation, and balance. During a session, a practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body, allowing this energy to flow to wherever it is needed most.
Reiki works on the principle that when our life force energy is low or blocked, we are more likely to feel unwell or stressed, and when it flows freely, we are better able to heal and feel balanced. A typical session is calm and quiet, with the client fully clothed and comfortably lying or sitting. The practitioner’s hands rest gently in a sequence of positions, encouraging deep relaxation and allowing the body’s own natural healing responses to activate.
Deep Relaxation and Stress Relief
Reiki activates the body’s relaxation response, helping to calm the nervous system and ease everyday stress and tension.
Emotional Balance
Many people find Reiki helpful for processing emotions, easing anxiety, and creating a greater sense of inner calm and clarity.
Support Through Menopause
Reiki is often used alongside other holistic practices to help support the body and mind through hormonal changes, offering a gentle space to reconnect and restore balance.
Improved Sleep and Energy
By encouraging deep rest, Reiki can help improve sleep quality and leave you feeling more energised and grounded.
Complements Other Therapies
Reiki works beautifully alongside yoga, Ayurveda, and sound healing as part of a holistic approach to wellbeing.
Reiki offers a gentle, non-invasive way to support your body’s natural capacity to heal and find balance. Whether you are seeking stress relief, emotional support, or simply a moment of deep calm, a Reiki session can be a soothing addition to your wellness journey.

A typical session takes place in a quiet, calming space, with you fully clothed and comfortably lying down or seated. Your practitioner will explain the process, then gently place their hands in a series of positions on or just above the body, holding each for several minutes. Many people describe feeling warmth, tingling, or a wave of deep calm as the energy moves; others simply drift into a light, restful sleep. Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes, and there’s no special preparation needed — just come as you are.
Reiki is gentle enough for almost anyone, whether you’re new to energy work or have an established wellness practice. It’s especially supportive for women navigating perimenopause and menopause, those recovering from stress or burnout, and anyone looking for a non-invasive complement to other therapies. Because there’s no physical manipulation involved, it can be safely combined with yoga, sound healing, Ayurveda, or Hormone Yoga Therapy as part of a broader holistic routine.
