Reiki is a Japanese word meaning universal (rei) life energy (ki) which flows through all living things. It is a natural and simple healing method - a gentle yet powerful hands-on touch therapy. It is a safe and natural holistic form of healing which gives a deeply relaxing therapy experience

Mikao Usui, a doctor from Japan, originated Reiki in 1922 after a 21 day retreat on Mount Kurama, involving meditation, fasting and prayer. Usui said that by mystical revelation he had gained the knowledge and spiritual power to apply and attune others to what is called Reiki - all Reiki practitioners can directly trace their lineage of attunement back to Mikao Usui. He died in 1926

... treatment summary

how: Seated in a chair or lying on a treatment couch. Only the shoes need to be removed for the client's comfort

where: In your own home. To enhance the relaxation aspect of the treatment Sally offers a mobile service (around the Leeds area of West Yorkshire) so the client doesn't have to drive home straight afterwards

how often: Depends on the requirements of the client and the nature of the condition being treated. Many people find the maximum benefit from a course of weekly treatments but of course there is no obligation to commit to that beforehand

cost: Please contact Sally for details
