REIKI

Reiki is offered as a gentle energy therapy that supports emotional balance, nervous system regulation, and overall well-being. This calming, hands-on modality works with the body’s energetic field to release stress, reduce tension, and promote deep relaxation. Many patients describe Reiki as a reset for the mind and body — leaving them feeling lighter, grounded, and more connected.

WHAT IS REIKI?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique that translates to “universal life energy.” During a session, a trained practitioner uses light touch or hands placed just above the body to help restore natural energy flow and balance.

Reiki supports the body’s ability to self-regulate by calming the nervous system, easing emotional stress, and promoting internal harmony. It is gentle, non-invasive, and safe to use alongside medical or holistic care.

WHAT TO EXPECT

During your Reiki session:

  • You’ll lie comfortably, fully clothed, in a quiet treatment space.

  • Your practitioner will place hands lightly on or above the body to support energy flow.

  • Sessions typically last 60 minutes.

  • Many patients feel warmth, calm, or a meditative sense of stillness during treatment.

Reiki is often combined with therapies like DreamSpa Light Therapy, BEMER, or SRT Lights for deeper relaxation and energetic alignment.
