Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique founded by Mikao Usui (1865-1926) that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional balance. The word Reiki combines two Japanese words: Rei, meaning “universal,” and Ki, meaning “life force energy.” Together, they refer to the natural energy that flows through all living things.

During a Reiki treatment, a practitioner channels this energy through gentle touch or by hovering their hands over the body. The goal is to remove energy blockages, restore balance, and support the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Reiki is non-invasive, safe, and can be used alongside conventional medical treatments. It is often described as a calming and uplifting experience, leaving individuals feeling centred and revitalized.

Reiki is a non-religious practice, so it is not limited to any particular faith.
