History of ReikiReiki is the name given to a system of natural healing which evolved in Japan under Dr Mikao Usui in the nineteenth century. Dr Usui was inspired to develop this healing system from ancient teachings after many years of study, research and meditation. Today Reiki continues to be taught by Reiki Masters who have trained in the tradition passed down from Master to student.
The word Reiki is derived from two Japanese words, ‘Rei’ meaning ‘the Higher Power’ and ‘Ki’ referring to ‘universal life force’. Reiki is therefore a practice of transferring universal energy from healer to recipient.
What is Reiki?Reiki is a holistic system which involves the healer laying their hands on the recipient in a series of patterns over the whole body. The healer is able to channel the universal energy into the recipient’s body. By receiving this ‘life force energy’, the recipient enjoys a heightened sense of health and well-being.
A treatment usually feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you.
Which conditions can Reiki help?Reiki can be helpful to many mental, physical or emotional need. It can alleviate the discomfort of physical pain, both acute or chronic, and can also be used preventively to stop the onset of possible conditions.

I have even successfully treated a client’s dog!
More often, my clients have no particular illness but believe that they could, with help, feel much more vibrant and alive.
Though I cannot guarantee a positive outcome, my success rate is very high; indeed, it is rare that clients do not feel significantly better following a course of Reiki.
