Reiki - What is Reiki Therapy ?

Reiki is an ancient form of hands on healing that originates in Japan. The Japanese word Rei means universal life and Ki means energy. It is (pronounced Ray Key). Reiki healing is a soothing treatment that promotes deep relaxation and healing and works holistically with the mind, body and spirit. 

Patients have different experiences during Reiki treatments. Some people feel a deep relaxation and wellbeing and a sense of feeling lighter. It is not unusual to fall asleep. Other patients feel tingles - or sensations of heat and cold.  Occasionally they may feel an emotional response. You do not need to feel anything during the treatment for the Reiki therapy to be working. 

Reiki healing is simple and safe for all ages. It is beneficial for babies, children, and adults and treatment can be done alongside other conventional medicines. Reiki supports and enhances other forms of treatment including Homeopathy. 

Reiki therapy can help with all areas, it supports other conventional treatments to rebalance the mind body and spirit. I have supported clients with fertility issues, post operative recovery and injuries, rebalancing hormones. health and wellbeing, stress, spiritual development, sleep issues and emotional healing. 

I will often suggest that Homeopathy clients have a Reiki session with me to clear energy blockages that are slowing down healing, or help speed up a detoxification. It can also  be helpful for focusing on a particular area of the body that needs additional help. 

I have found that it is very calming for children and babies and is very supportive in pregnancy and pre pregnancy.  Reiki treatments offer gentle support for all. 

While traditional Reiki helps restore balance to the entire energy field there are times when we need specific focus on a body part or organ. I often see clients after a broken bone has been set or after an injury or operation. It is helpful where there is a weakness in an organ eg stomach, adrenals, heart, liver, - it may be related to digestive health, respiratory function, cardiovascular health, fertility  or anywhere in the body. I guide the energy to specific areas that require the attention, focusing on the root cause of the imbalance. This can enhance the performance of your organs and bring harmony and balance. 

With specific body part or organ reiki  the treatment is very much tailored to your individual needs. For the stomach Reiki can typically help with digestion, it can help to clear blockages physically and energetically, reduce discomfort and inflammation, help with absorption and strengthen organs while giving you a sense of calm and relaxation. 

A Reiki facial is a relaxing way to improve the health of your skin as well as promote a youthful healthy glow and feeling of wellness. 

The  Reiki facial  relaxes you with  beautiful natural aromatic Tropic products. Unwind as I fully  cleanse, tone and moisturise, applying deep moisturising or cleanse and detoxify mask treatments.

Hands are placed on or close to the face, neck and decolletage area. I guide Reiki to specific areas on your face.  A wonderful relaxing bespoke experience with overall skin and health benefits.  

Clients often see these benefits: 

• Reduced puffiness around the eyes, face and jawline
• Reduced skin irritation and sensitivity
• Reduced redness and inflammation in specific areas 
• Improved condition of scars and problem areas including spots and acne
• Reduced tension in jaw, forehead and around eyes and softened appearance of fine lines 
• Improved health and regeneration of skin

Spots, acnes and scars can be reduced over regular treatments. I may recommend Homeopathic treatment or specific supplements for hormonal skin conditions or to boost skin recovery. 

I work on particular areas according to your individual needs using gentle treatments specific to your skin type.    

30 minute mini Reiki Facial  or 60 minute treatments Reiki Facial  are available. 

At the start of the session I will ask you about your medical health and any key areas that you would like me to focus on. I select supportive crystals and aromatherapy oils and soft soothing music to  use during the treatment. 

The patient stays fully clothed in a comfortable position on a Reiki table or chair. The treatment can be done with a light touch or if preferred no touch at all. There is an aura cleanse and a chakra check for any imbalances. The treatment usually starts with the hands held around or gently placed on the head. The patient is encouraged to relax with their eyes closed. The practitioner works on chakra energy centres throughout the body and is led intuitively by the body that uses the energy where it is needed most to bring the body back into balance. 

If you do not live locally or are too unwell to make it to your appointment don’t worry, you can still enjoy a Reiki treatment. Reiki treatments can be done over Zoom or the telephone whilst you are online, or if not possible I can arrange a convenient time to send the healing treatment your way. 

Distance Reiki can be sent to anyone, anywhere, at any time. Simply by linking into the energy field of the recipient. We are all connected, and all made up of energy and this allows for the energy to flow between us. 

I like to see a photo of the recipient if they are not with me online, although this is not necessary for the energy connection. I will always ask for permission before sending healing energy and this enables the energy to flow. I find recipients are receptive and they often comment on the relaxing sensations or the areas I am working on while the treatment is taking place. 

Distance Reiki sends you wonderful life force energy and is very beneficial for all aspects of your health and wellbeing whatever the distance between you and I.

It can vary depending on your individual health and circumstances. To see the most benefit, three sessions over a period of two weeks are recommended and then a regular maintenance session once a month.

A wonderful, calming experience that has really helped me on several occasions. Lisa is highly professional and knowledgeable and makes you feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend her. Miriam Jan 2023

'Lisa was wonderful with me from the start. She has listened with great care to everything I was going through when I first met her, has been incredibly patient and insightful so far with my long recovery (which isn't done, but I have a lot to heal, so it takes its time), she has always shown she would be happy to help no matter if its within a session or a few messages of assistance in between for additional support and the two reiki sessions I had with her (additional to the homeopathy) were amazing, I felt a profound change and release. She always takes her time which makes me feel valued and important rather than being 'pushed at the door because "time is up"' and that... Is invaluable. Thank you for everything. You're a very gifted generous healer.' Ellie Jan 2024

'I am recovering from a Total Knee Replacement carried out 2 weeks ago. As a result of the operation my knee was giving me some pain, swelling and getting warm to the touch. Lisa suggested Reiki and although sightly sceptical at the thought that “passing hands around the operation site” could help, I said ok. She made me comfortable and asked me to relax. I closed my eyes and after a while began to feel a warming sensation around the operation site. When she had finished the session the warming sensation continued for a while. Over the next 12 to 14 hours the pain subsided a little, the redness of the wound changed to a more normal skin colour and the swelling had slightly reduced. 2 days on and the swelling has reduced further and the pain has also reduced. Many Thanks Lisa for your help and next time would will not be so sceptical about the power of Reiki.' Chris Feb 2024
