1. What is Reiki Therapy

Reiki therapy is an ancient practice that uses universal life force energy to promote healing. This energy is also known as chi or qi, and it is said to flow through all living things. When this energy becomes imbalanced, it can lead to physical, emotional, and spiritual problems. Reiki practitioners like Michala believe can help to balance the flow of chi by using their hands to channel energy into the body through gentle touch and massage. Reiki has been used for centuries in Asia for healing, and it is now gaining popularity in the West as a complementary treatment for a variety of conditions. Many people report feeling more relaxed and connected after a session, so if you are looking for a way to reduce stress and promote healing, Reiki therapy may be worth considering.

2. Who is it most appropriate for

Reiki therapy is most commonly used for people struggling to address stress, anxiety, and pain, but it can also be helpful for reducing inflammation, boosting immunity, and promoting healing. Reiki therapy is most appropriate for those who are open to receiving energy work and who are willing to participate in their own healing process. While reiki therapy can be beneficial for anyone, it is often particularly helpful for those who are dealing with chronic or difficult-to-treat conditions that are looking for an alternative option for relief, relaxation, and improvement.

3. Why does it work

Reiki has been studied for its potential to reduce stress, anxiety, and pain, as well as to promote healing. It is thought that reiki therapy works by balancing the flow of energy in the body and promoting deep relaxation, leading to a variety of benefits, including improved mental and emotional well-being, reduced pain, and more.

4. What to expect during your session

When you come in for your session, you can expect to receive a gentle massage mixed with reiki therapy. Your therapist will place their hands lightly on or near your body, channeling energy into you as they work. You may feel a variety of sensations during your session, including warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. Most people find reiki therapy to be very relaxing and report feeling more balanced and connected after a session.
