Reiki is a Japanese word meaning "spiritually guided life force energy."

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that supports healing and is based on the idea that a life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.  If our life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress.  If it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

A Reiki session is done with the client lying fully clothed on a massage table.  The Reiki practitioner places the hands over or lightly touches the client at specific points of the body (head, shoulders, stomach, etc.) while guiding energy to the client.  The client's body intuitively understands this energy and uses it where it is needed most. 

A standard session is approximately one hour and does not include physical bodywork, movement, or tissue manipulation in any way.
