Reiki

A gentle space to pause, restore and reconnect

Reiki is a gentle complementary wellbeing practice that offers you time to slow down, switch off from the outside world and simply be.

At Ember Wellness, Reiki is offered as a calm, supportive experience where you can take some time for yourself without needing to achieve, explain or fix anything.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, stressed or simply in need of some quiet time, Reiki can provide an opportunity to pause and reconnect with yourself.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese complementary practice that originated in the early twentieth century. It is traditionally based on the idea of working with energy to support a sense of balance and wellbeing.

During a Reiki session, you remain fully clothed and can choose to sit or lie comfortably while the session takes place.

You don't need to have any particular belief or experience with Reiki. You can simply approach the session with curiosity and see how it feels for you.

What can I expect from a session?

Your session is your time.

We begin by creating a comfortable, quiet space and taking a moment to settle in. The Reiki session then takes place at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Some people experience a sense of deep relaxation, warmth or calm during a session, while others may simply enjoy having uninterrupted time to rest.

Everyone experiences Reiki differently, and there is no particular way you are expected to feel.

There is nothing you need to do and nothing you need to get “right”.

Reiki and chronic illness

Living with chronic or life-changing illness can mean that much of your time is spent managing appointments, symptoms, responsibilities and uncertainty.

Reiki can offer a gentle space away from all of that.

It isn't a treatment for illness and it doesn't replace medical care. Instead, it can be used as a complementary wellbeing practice alongside the support you already receive.

For me, this is particularly important. Your experience of your body, your health and your life is your own, and the space I offer is centred around respect, choice and compassion.

Reiki at Ember Wellness

My approach is gentle, person-centred and inclusive.

I recognise that people come to Reiki with different beliefs, experiences and expectations. You don't need to identify as spiritual, and you don't need to believe in a particular explanation of how Reiki works.

You are welcome to approach it in whatever way feels comfortable for you.

Reiki is offered separately from counselling at Ember Wellness. Reiki sessions are complementary wellbeing services and are not a form of psychological therapy or mental health treatment.

Distance Reiki

Distance Reiki can be offered remotely, allowing you to receive your session from the comfort of your own home.

You can choose somewhere quiet and comfortable where you won't be disturbed. We'll agree the arrangements for your session beforehand, so you know what to expect.

If you'd like to find out more or arrange a session, you can get in touch with me using the contact form.
