Reiki ('Ray-key') is Japanese for Universal Life Energy.  It is a system of natural healing using the hands to regain a sense of harmony and wholeness. This tradition was founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and has now become a well known and encouraged practise alongside the medical profession.

 

The client lies down on a treatment couch or sits relaxed fully clothed on a chair. The practitioner will move their hands respectively on or above the client’s body in a sequence of hand positions. The whole person is usually treated but at times specific areas may require more attention.
