What is Reiki?
​Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing practice that works with the body’s natural energy systems to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The word Reiki comes from Japanese and means “universal life force energy.”
This holistic therapy was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and is now widely practiced across the world.
Reiki involves the practitioner channeling healing energy through the hands, either lightly touching or hovering just above the body. While often delivered through touch, Reiki is just as effective when practiced hands-off or even at a distance, making it incredibly versatile.
What happens in a Reiki session?
A Reiki session is typically held in a quiet, peaceful environment. You will remain fully clothed, lying comfortably on a treatment table or sitting in a chair—whichever you prefer. Music may be played softly in the background, depending on your comfort.
The practitioner will gently place their hands on or above different areas of your body—such as the head, shoulders, limbs, and torso—holding each position for several minutes. During this time, you may feel sensations of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation as energy flows through the body.
Reiki can also be adapted to avoid contact with areas of pain or injury by working above the body.
Each session is unique, and people often report feeling lighter, more centered, and emotionally balanced afterward.

Lineage & Tradition
In Reiki, lineage refers to the direct line of teachers through which the teachings and attunements are passed down, beginning with the founder, Mikao Usui. Just as Reiki energy flows from one person to another, its wisdom and practice are transmitted through this sacred chain of connection. Honouring one’s lineage helps preserve the purity, integrity, and vibration of the original system, ensuring that each student receives the true essence of Reiki.
​
My Reiki lineage is rooted in the original teachings of Mikao Usui, passed down through an unbroken line of Reiki Masters. This ensures that the attunements and methods taught remain authentic to the Usui system, honouring both its spiritual essence and practical application. By learning within this lineage, you become part of a living tradition that connects you to Reiki practitioners across generations.
