Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that was developed by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th century. The practice is based on the concept of working with ki, often described as life-force energy, through gentle touch or hands held just above the body.
The word Reiki is commonly understood through two Japanese concepts: Rei, associated with universal or spiritual wisdom, and Ki, meaning life-force energy.
Over time, Reiki spread beyond Japan and is now practiced around the world as a complementary wellness practice.
Today, people may explore Reiki for relaxation, stress reduction, emotional support, self-awareness, spiritual connection, and a greater sense of balance and well-being.
Reiki does not require any particular religious or spiritual belief and can be practiced or received by people from many different backgrounds.
People choose Reiki for many different reasons. Some are looking for a quiet space to relax and reset, while others are seeking emotional support, greater self-awareness, or a deeper connection with themselves.
Reiki may support:
Every Reiki experience is unique. Some people feel deeply relaxed during a session, while others notice warmth, tingling, emotional awareness, or subtle shifts in how they feel. Others may simply enjoy the opportunity to slow down and rest.
Reiki is not about forcing a particular outcome. It creates a supportive space where you can relax, reconnect with yourself, and become more aware of your physical, emotional, and energetic experience.
Delete the old benefits list rather than keeping both. This version covers the same purpose without making claims about treating anxiety, depression, pain, trauma, or physical conditions.
If you have never experienced Reiki before, it is completely normal to wonder what will happen during your appointment.
Your session begins with a conversation about how you are feeling, what you would like support with, and any preferences or questions you may have.
You will then relax fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table while soft music may be played to create a peaceful environment.
Reiki may be offered through gentle, non-invasive touch or with my hands positioned just above the body, depending on your comfort and preferences. If you prefer a completely hands-off session, simply let me know.
During your session, you may experience:
There is no particular feeling you are supposed to experience. Every Reiki session is different.
After the Reiki portion, you will have time to slowly reconnect with your surroundings and discuss your experience, questions, or any intuitive insights that may have come through during the session.
I also encourage clients to give themselves a little time afterward to rest, hydrate, and notice how they feel.
Your comfort, boundaries, and sense of safety remain important throughout the entire session.
People choose Reiki for many different reasons, and every experience is unique.
Reiki is commonly used as a complementary wellness practice to support:
Some people describe feeling deeply relaxed during or after a session. Others notice greater clarity, emotional awareness, warmth, tingling, or simply appreciate having dedicated time to slow down and reconnect with themselves.
Reiki does not guarantee a particular outcome, and experiences may vary from session to session.
The purpose of Reiki is not to diagnose or treat a medical or mental-health condition. It is a complementary wellness practice that may be used alongside appropriate professional care.
Reiki may also be combined with complementary practices such as:
These practices can be personalized according to your intentions and what feels most supportive during your session.
Reiki is a complementary wellness practice, which means it may be used alongside conventional medical care but should never replace treatment from a qualified healthcare professional.
Some people choose Reiki while navigating medical treatment, surgery, recovery, or other challenging health experiences as a way to create intentional time for relaxation, grounding, emotional support, and self-care.
Reiki may be received before or after medical appointments or procedures when appropriate. Sessions can also be adapted to your comfort, mobility, and energy level.
Reiki does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent medical conditions, and it should not be used as a substitute for medication, surgery, psychotherapy, oncology care, or other recommended medical treatment.
If you are currently receiving medical care, always continue to follow the recommendations of your healthcare team.
For those looking for more specialized support during surgery, cancer care, hospitalization, recovery, remission, or survivorship, I also offer Reiki sessions specifically designed to provide gentle complementary wellness support during these experiences.
