Reiki & Reflexology 

Reiki (pronounced ray-key)

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work. Ki, or as some know it as 'chi', is part of our natural energetic circulation in the body. With stress and other factors of daily life, including emotional turmoil, our energy can get out of balance and then we feel weak, out of sorts and like we are getting sick but knowing that we are perfectly healthy. A reiki session is a way to realign those energy patterns of the body to help feel more 'grounded' and back together. It is also a way to relax more deeply and thus, improve sleep as well.

This gentle modality has been used in hospitals and hospices to help with healing and pain relief. Even children and animals have had positive results with reiki.

The practitioner either lays their hands gently on the body or a few inches above it, directing the Rei-ki energy (translates as Universal Life Force Energy) into the layers of the body: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Reiki is done with the client clothed, lying on the table and lightly covered with a blanket. Soft music is played and often the use of essential oils helps to deepen the experience.

Reflexology

Reflexology is a form of deep tissue work that is applied to the feet and, in the hour session, feet and hands. It is based on the theory that parts of the feet and hands corrolate to parts of the body and can be treated from the feet and hands. Clients also report that it has helped chronic foot pain within as little as two sessions! [a special foot scrub and parafin dip can be added to a reflexology session]
