What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy practice where a practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body to encourage relaxation and a sense of balance. You stay fully clothed and simply rest.
It is best understood as a complementary practice for relaxation and wellbeing, not a medical treatment or a substitute for care from your doctor.
What a Session Feels Like
People describe a Reiki session in different ways, and there is no single right experience. Common descriptions include:
- A deep sense of calm, similar to a guided meditation.
- Warmth or a gentle tingling where the practitioner's hands rest.
- Feeling lighter or more settled afterward.
- Simply a quiet hour to slow down and reset.
Who Comes for Reiki
People come to Reiki for many reasons: to unwind after a stressful stretch, to complement other wellness practices, or simply to experience it for the first time. If you are new, our practitioner will explain everything before you begin.
