Reiki

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Mikao Usui developed this form of energy healing in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, it’s used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.

Energy healing helps people become energetically balanced — physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
