What is Reiki?

Reiki is a simple practice, utilizing Universal Life Energy and the principles listed above to promote health and well being in the body, mind and spirit.

What is a Reiki treatment like?

A Reiki treatment typically lasts from one to two hours, during which time you are fully clothed. Your Reiki practitioner's hands rest for several minutes at designated positions around your head, shoulders, stomach and back. Subtle Reiki energy flows through the body, releasing stress, fatigue and pain while strengthening the immune system.
