Reiki is believed to come from ancient texts rediscovered and developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early last century and means 'Universal Energy'. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to the well-being of life.

As a therapy, Reiki is an effective and simple way of tapping into this energy, as it stimulates your body's own natural healing potential. It is a non-invasive experience, consisting of hand movements placed on or over the body and can be experienced fully-clothed, while you are seated or lying down.

The energy is gentle and relaxing. It eases stress and tension, relieves physical trauma, and wards off illness and fatigue, promoting health and a sense of well-being – mentally, physically and emotionally.
