At Holistics by Moon Sparkles & Wood, Reiki is one of my most loved treatments — not just for its deep relaxation benefits, but for the emotional and energetic clarity it brings.
So, what exactly is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a holistic healing method that channels universal life energy through the hands of the practitioner to the recipient. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and deeply restorative — designed to help you rebalance your energy, ease emotional stress, and promote healing.
This beautiful practice was founded by Japanese healer Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and has since helped people all over the world reconnect with their inner peace.
What to Expect in a Reiki Session
You’ll remain fully clothed and lie down comfortably on a treatment couch (or sit, if preferred). I’ll guide you into a relaxed state with soft music, and gently place my hands above or lightly on your body in a sequence of positions.
Clients often describe feeling a gentle warmth, tingling, or even seeing colours — all signs that energy is shifting and your body is restoring balance.
Benefits of Reiki May Include:
- Deep relaxation & better sleep
- Emotional release & clarity
- Improved energy levels
- Reduced anxiety or overwhelm
- Greater connection to self
Aftercare & What You Might Feel:
Following your session, you may feel:
- Calm and centred
- Emotionally lighter
- Deeply rested
This is your body integrating the energy work. I always recommend drinking plenty of water and giving yourself space to process whatever comes up.
Is Reiki Right for You?
While Reiki is suitable for most people, it’s not recommended if you:
- Have suspected appendicitis
- Have a pacemaker
- Are in the first trimester of pregnancy
I’ll always chat with you before your first session to make sure it’s safe and supportive for your needs.
