Reiki

 What Reiki Really Does

Reiki works by clearing and realigning the body’s energetic pathways. These channels can become congested due to stress, trauma, emotional repression, or lifestyle imbalance. By gently directing energy through specific hand placements, the practitioner supports the body’s return to equilibrium. It activates the parasympathetic nervous system—our “rest and restore” state—making it highly effective for those with anxiety, trauma responses, or emotional fatigue.

 

Emotional Release & Healing

As energy begins to shift, many clients experience emotional releases, such as: • Spontaneous crying • Sudden realisations or insights • Warmth, tingling, or gentle muscular twitching These responses are entirely normal and indicate that blocked or suppressed energy is beginning to move and clear. We hold space with compassion and discretion throughout this process.

 

The 28-Day Integration Window

Following a Reiki session, the energy continues to integrate for up to 28 days. During this period, clients may feel calmer, more emotionally regulated, and more attuned to themselves. Around the third week, it’s common for clients to notice an energetic “dip” as the healing energy begins to settle. This can sometimes look like increased sensitivity, fatigue, or mood changes. Rather than seeing this as a setback, we frame it as your system asking for ongoing support. It’s a powerful and affirming time to rebook your next Reiki session to maintain balance and continue the momentum of your healing. "Just as you wouldn’t wait for the body to become injured before stretching, Reiki acts as energetic maintenance—allowing you to stay connected, clear, and supported."

 

What to Expect During a Session

You’ll lie comfortably (fully clothed) while Reiki energy is channeled through gentle hand placements either on or just above the body. Clients often enter a meditative state, feeling deeply relaxed, safe, and connected. Each session ends with gentle grounding and reflection.
