What happens during treatment?

The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively in a sequence of positions which cover the whole body. The whole person is treated rather than specific symptoms. Each position is held for a few minutes and treatment usually lasts for 1 hour.

The practitioner's touch should be gentle, light and comfortable, although sometimes people experience intense heat from the practitioner's hands. There is no massage or manipulation. You may feel sensations under the practitioners' hands or in other parts of your body. You may feel heat, tingling, coolness, throbbing or other sensations. You may feel very little, although many people experience a sense of well being and relaxation - some even fall asleep.

Sometimes a treatment can be energising - there is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki.

Reiki is a natural healing tool and does not claim to cure.

Reiki will also reinforce the effects of other methods of natural healing. It is a complementary system of treatment and combines well with holistic massage.

Contraindications - Treatments are not available to clients under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
