During a Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body, allowing healing energy to flow where it’s needed most. This helps release stress, restore balance, and support the body’s natural ability to heal by releasing energetic blockages. Reiki can be received lying down or seated while fully clothed.
After the first session people may choose to continue sessions weekly, monthly or every so often. How often you receive Reiki really depends on what feels good for you.
Reiki is gentle, non-invasive, and can be enjoyed alongside conventional medical care. Many people find it to be a deeply calming and uplifting experience for the body, mind and spirit.
Clinical research has shown that Reiki reduces anxiety, pain and promotes relaxation. Reiki can improve fatigue, burn-out and promote an overall sense of well-being. Reiki is increasingly finding its way into institutional settings, from hospitals to hospices.

Reiki Research Reiki Literature Reviews"I recently had a Reiki session with Susan and it was truly transformative. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease, she had such a calming presence about her. The energy during the session was calming yet powerful—I could literally feel stress and tension melting away. By the end, I felt lighter, more centered, and deeply relaxed, almost as if a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Susan created such a safe, nurturing space that allowed me to fully let go and receive the healing. She did a great job explaining everything at the end with all the different things I felt and what they stand for. I left feeling refreshed, grounded, and more connected to myself than I have in a long time. I can’t recommend this experience enough for anyone looking to restore balance and peace within. Will definitely be booking with Susan again!"
Aline"Susan’s calming presence made me feel balanced, peaceful, and re-energized. I left the session refreshed and deeply centered."
"I had my first Reiki session with Susan and she was so calming and accommodating to ensure that I have the best experience tailored to my needs. In another session, she even welcomed my no nap toddler to lay on me during the session. I leave feeling lighter, calmed, and centered every time!"
Lynn"Fantastic experience! I have never experienced anything like this before. I was extremely relaxed afterwards and slept very well that night. Very highly recommend it!"
