Reiki Energy Work

I am a Reiki level 1 practitioner and use Reiki, at a client’s request, in combination with other massage techniques. As a Registered Massage Therapist I do not offer treatments consisting of only Reiki, as Reiki is not in my primary scope of practice.

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a technique that was developed in Japan in the early 1900s. The name comes from two Japanese words, ‘Rei’ which means spiritual wisdom, and ‘Ki’ which means life energy.

Reiki is an energy-based therapy, used for stress reduction and relaxation. The basic technique is quite different from massage in that it does not involve kneading muscles or moving along the skin. Instead, a series of holding positions are used on various parts of the body. Working as a support mechanism to the body, Reiki re-establishes a normal energy flow of ‘Ki’ (life force energy) throughout the system.
