What Reiki Is

Rei-Ki meaning ‘Universal Life Energy’, is a gentle and non-invasive complementary therapy, which activates the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki energy is channelled through the hands of an attuned practitioner, into the body of the receiver, allowing the treatment of physical ailments without pressure, manipulation or massage. Reiki can restore physical and emotional well-being, by relieving the symptoms caused by stress. Reiki has no religious associations, thereby making it accessible to all. It is safe to use on any person, including children, with additional positive benefits on pet and plant health.

Reiki Health Benefits

Reiki promotes the release of tension, which results in the balance of mind, body and emotions. Some of the benefits may include a decrease in emotional stress and reduced physical pain, inducing an overall improvement in quality of life. For example: Relieving anxiety and depression, pain management, and fatigue reduction.

Reiki Method

Francesca practices the Usui Shiki Ryoho system of Reiki, which is a hands-on method, founded by Dr Mikao Usui in Japan, during the early 20th century. It has been recognised and approved as a complimentary therapy by the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). Francesca is also a member of the UK Reiki Federation and follows a strict code of ethics and conduct to ensure that she maintains the highest standards of Reiki in all her treatments.

Consultation

Before your first treatment, your practitioner Francesca will take you through a free consultation that usually lasts around 30 minutes, prior to discussing treatment options. During this consultation you will be asked some questions to create a short case history and to note the progress of your treatment. This process will not be necessary if you are a returning client, unless you wish to discuss something specific prior to your treatment.

Treatment

Your Reiki treatment will last 55 minutes for a full body or 25mins for a half body treatment. You will be asked to remove your shoes and lay on your back on the treatment bed, where you will be covered with a blanket (or sheet if you prefer). You will later be asked to turn onto your stomach (on full body treatments only). If you are unable to lay comfortably, you can be treated in an upright position on a suitable chair. You will never be required to remove your clothes. Please note that socks or tights must be worn. Temporary socks will be provided, should you forget to bring your own.
