During a reiki session, the practitioner places their hands either directly on you or just above you to bring about healing. Using Reiki the practitioner is able to stimulate your body's natural healing abilities through channelling universal energy.

A typical reiki session lasts around 60 minutes. At your first appointment, your reiki practitioner will discuss your symptoms, any sensitive areas and any expectations or intentions you may have. The session is fully clothed, on a couch and you will be covered with a blanket. Usually soft, relaxing music will be playing in the background. For the most part there won’t be any talking during the session, you can switch off. The practitioner will move their hands around your body. They may touch you lightly or have their hands just above your body.
