What to expect from a treatment

The first session will consist of a consultation where I will ask you about your medical history and you’ll be able to ask any questions you may have, followed by a treatment for the remaining time.

The therapist channels chi through their hands to the client while the client lies on the treatment couch (if lying down is problematic, treatment may be given while seated in a chair).  The hand positions used in Reiki correlate with the body’s chakras or energy centres.  The hands are either placed on the body or just above the body in the aura.

You will remain clothed throughout, only needing to remove shoes, jewellery and tight belts etc.

Most people find the treatment very relaxing and may even fall asleep!

Some people are aware of the energy. You may experience physical sensations such as hot, cold or tingling. You may visualise colours or other images. You may also find you feel emotional as your chakras clear and suppressed emotions are gently allowed to surface.

Before your treatment

It is best to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing and not to wear jewellery, belts or anything restricting.

It would be beneficial to drink plenty of water, at least 2 litres per day, and try to minimise caffeine and alcohol intake.

After your treatment

You will need to drink plenty of water, at least 2 litres per day, to flush out toxins released from your relaxing body, and try to minimise caffeine and alcohol intake. You may experience reactions such as feeling cold, emotional, headachy or spaced out. Don’t worry, these are normal after release of emotion or tension. Take it easy and drink plenty of water. If you are at all concerned, see your GP. If you feel spaced out, have something to eat, visualise you have roots going deep into the ground, rub your feet and don’t drive until you feel completely grounded.

Important

Reiki is a treatment for the energy system. I do not claim to cure any illness, disease, syndrome or to treat any specific medical condition(s).

I cannot and will not ever make a diagnosis. If you suspect that you have a health problem you must visit your GP for a diagnosis and treatment.

Reiki is a complementary therapy to be used along side conventional medicine, not as an alternative to it. It is recommended that you discuss the use of complementary therapies with your doctor.
