A typical Reiki session

Reiki is probably the most gentle of all treatments as it is non invasive, non manipulative and requires merely a calm environment.

A session can last up to one hour depending on the circumstance. The client is usually lying on a treatment couch fully clothed and the practitioner will generally start at the head and work down.

Unless a specific area is requested for 'work' by the client, the practitioner will usually energise the head (sides, back and front), the throat, upper chest, solar plexus, kidney region, navel area and feet.

Practitioners of other disciplines such as osteopathy, acupuncture or shiatsu may incorporate Reiki into their treatments and hence work differently from the above.

During your session there should be a sense of calm, warmth and security that leaves you feeling refreshed.
