Reiki is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Energy. Reiki was used thousands of years ago in Tibet, China and India. Dr Mikao Usui rediscovered it over a hundred years ago and this skill was "westernised" and passed on to students all over the world.
This non-invasive therapy can support and enhance all other forms of treatment. Reiki works holistically to balance the whole person and brings about a deep sense of relaxation and wellbeing. This gentle, yet powerful complementary therapy can be used with confidence alongside orthodox healthcare. Reiki for wellness Some people have ongoing Reiki sessions as part of their self care programme to maintain wellness and try to prevent the many serious health problems that chronic ongoing stress, from living in an ever changing and complex world, can cause or worsen. |

Reiki is non-diagnostic and non-manipulative. The practitioner places their hands gently on, or slightly above the body. A session is carried out with the client fully clothed, lying down or seated comfortably. Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, or a wonderful feeling of warmth, calm and deep relaxation. each session usually last about an hour.
Our bodies have a natural ability to heal themselves of certain conditions and this process can be enhanced through complementary medicine which encourages a free flow of energy within the body.
When we relax deeply, while experiencing Reiki, our nervous system can move from sympathetic (fight flight) to parasympathetic (rest and digest) mode. This shift encourages stress reduction and deep relaxation, both essential for restoration and healing to take place. This is when the body’s own healing abilities are stimulated.
I have spent many years cultivating stillness in my daily meditation practice. I experience that same stillness when giving Reiki, this helps the energy to flow more effectively so the client can also experience profound shifts in their state of being, moving them closer to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual harmony. This process of healing can bring about a greater sense of peace and harmony in everyday life too.

"It’s difficult to put into words the impact Suzy and Reiki have had on my wellbeing. Suffering with a bad back for decades I decided to approach the problem from a different angle and focus on me, as a whole. I had experienced Reiki many years ago and having found someone local, got in touch with Suzy and made an appointment. Walking into a stranger’s home, talking about yourself and then lying down to enable them to lay their hands on you (or sometimes hovering above the body) might seem daunting and somewhat strange, but Suzy’s manner is such that you feel completely at ease, calm and open to the extraordinary wonders of Reiki.
Whilst I don’t really understand how the gentle laying of hands can channel energy, it does. After a session I feel completely ‘spaced out’, light-hearted and at peace with the world. The latter continues and a true sense of wellbeing replaces the stress and worries I was experiencing thinking my back was going to ‘go’ at any time and render me unable to move.
I honestly believe everyone could benefit from Reiki to restore the body and mind to what we had forgotten they can be."
