Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is Japanese for The Universal Life Force Energy. This energy is believed to be the vital life force which flows through all living things and can be activated for healing.

The Reiki healing system was developed by Dr. Mikao Usui who was inspired by the ancient teachings. Dr. Usui's traditional system is still used today and is passed down from Master to Student in the manner taught by Dr. Usui himself.

Reiki is not a faith system but it does need a willigness to heal or be healed.

Reiki is a non-invasive therapy and can be effective in the relief of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual conditions.

In some cases Reiki can speed up the physical healing process however it must be considered that the relief of chronic illness may take a longer course of treatments in order to show progress.

During a typical treatment you may either lie on a bed or sit in a chair, the main point being that you are comfortable and relaxed. I will then place my hands in a sequence of positions to cover the whole body, in this way the whole body is treated, not just the area causing the patient discomfort.
