Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that uses energy to promote healing, relaxation, stress and pain reduction.  Reiki, refers to the energy that all living beings possess.   During a treatment the practitioner channels Reiki, or life energy, to the client by gently placing their hands on or just above the client. Often the client experiences the Reiki energy as warmth radiating throughout their body.   Reiki treatments balance, increase and release unneeded energies to facilitate healing on all levels: physical and emotional, while creating greater self-awareness.  Treatment generally lasts an hour, and can be performed lying down or in a chair, depending on the client’s preference.
