Why Reiki Therapy?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that originated in Japan and was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui, also known as Sensei Usui. In scientific terms, this healing approach is often referred to as working with “the energy field” or simply “the field.” At its core, Reiki acknowledges that energy is the foundation of all living things—it exists within us, around us, and connects everything.

​

Reiki is a powerful yet gentle healing practice that supports well-being on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. It works by balancing the body's chakras, or energy centers, and helps to clear stagnant or negative energy. Using Universal Life Force Energy, Reiki promotes the body’s natural ability to heal and regulate itself.

This therapy helps restore energetic balance, improve sleep, relieve pain, increase vitality, and foster deep relaxation. Reiki also supports the removal of blockages from the body’s 12 meridian pathways, which in turn allows for smoother energy distribution, better blood flow, and improved nutrient delivery throughout the system.

​

Sessions are non-invasive and deeply relaxing. They are offered through light touch or by placing hands just above the body, typically with the client fully clothed and lying on a massage table, sofa, or bed. During a session, clients often experience physical sensations such as warmth, coolness, tingling, or gentle pulsing. Some may see colors, images, or experience digestive activity like stomach rumbling—all of which are normal responses to energy movement.

​

The effects of Reiki tend to deepen with regular sessions. A typical treatment lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, and many people notice significant improvements after about six sessions over a two- to eight-week period. Reiki provides a comforting and supportive environment where individuals can release tension, fear, and emotional pain.

​

Unlike massage, which uses physical manipulation that may cause discomfort, Reiki healing comes purely through energy. Clients frequently describe the experience as soothing and safe—often likened to the feeling of being warmly embraced or enjoying a piece of dark chocolate. Reiki activates the body’s natural release of endorphins, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and physical discomfort.

​

Ultimately, Reiki is more than just a technique—it is a practice rooted in love, compassion, and kindness. It offers a deep sense of peace and connection, reminding each person that they are not alone.
