WHY REIKI

 The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy” 

 Reiki is an energy healing treatment that works holistically; on the whole body, mind and spirit.

 Not a system of religious beliefs, Reiki is simply a relaxing treatment whereas natural healing vibrations are transmitted through the hands of a Reiki practitioner (acting as a conduit) to the body of the recipient. 

The purpose of a Reiki treatment is to relieve stress and pain, induce relaxation, release emotional blockages, accelerate natural healing, balance subtle bodies energies and support other medical modalities including traditional therapies. 

 Reiki, as it is practiced today, dates back to the teachings of Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 1920's.

Usui's intense spiritual practices culminated in a profound revelation that led to the practice now commonly called Reiki. This realisation most likely occurred in 1922 on the last of a 21 days fasting period on Mount Kurama where he got the "enlightenment".

Usui travelled widely in Japan during the last four years of his life, offering his spiritual teachings to more than 2,000 beginning students, but training only 16 as Reiki masters. One of his master students, Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, was a retired naval officer.

With Usui's blessings, Dr. Hayashi opened a Reiki clinic in Tokyo. Mrs. Hawayo Takata, a first generation Japanese-American, came to Dr. Hayashi's clinic for relief from a number of medical conditions. Months of treatment restored Mrs. Takata's health, and she became a devoted student.

With Dr. Hayashi's active guidance and support, Mrs.Takata brought Reiki to Hawaii in 1937 and eventually to the US mainland. Mrs.Takata practiced and taught Reiki for 40 years before she began training Reiki masters (practitioners empowered to teach others). Since Mrs. Takata's death in December 1980, her 22 Reiki masters have spread her teachings. Reiki has become very popular and is now practiced around the world, although not usually in the traditional form Mrs.Takata taught.
 

 A Reiki treatment is a relaxing and healing time just for you.

I highly recommend to book at least 4 sessions, because it is not an overnight healing process. Most clients feel the shift in their body after the fourth treatment.

At the first session before the treatment itself, we'll have a chat where I explain in detail what Reiki is, how it works, what sensations you could experience and what steps of treatment I am going to take.  Even if you don't experience any sensations, the healing still takes place as every ones body reacts different.

Reiki shows your body how to heal itself and it supports any other treatments.

 "I don't know what you did, but it worked." 

"I feel like I am new born."

 " It was just wow."

"My headache is gone." 

These are some of the things people typically say after a Reiki session. 
 

After I received my very first Reiki treatment more than 30 years ago, I was drawn into it and discovered my natural healing abilities.

I did one of my Reiki master courses with Frans Stiene. Frans is a worldwide well known Reiki researcher and book author/ co author of 6 Reiki books.

I am certified Reiki master in both Japanese and Western Reiki and combine both to achieve the best outcome for my clients.

When I see the success of the treatments and the reactions of my clients, I know this is the right way for me and my clients.
