Frequently Asked Questions

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It is designed to encourage deep relaxation, reduce stress and support your overall sense of wellbeing. During a Reiki treatment, I work with the body's energy, allowing Reiki to flow where it is most needed. You don't need to have any particular beliefs for Reiki to be enjoyable or beneficial.

When you arrive, we'll have a brief chat about how you're feeling and what you'd like from your session. You'll then make yourself comfortable on the treatment bed, with pillows and blankets available if you'd like them.Your treatment begins with a short, soothing hand massage to help you relax, ground yourself and settle into the session. I then move into Reiki, working with light touch or with my hands just above the body. Afterwards, you'll have a little time to gently come round before getting up.

Wear whatever you feel comfortable and relaxed in. Loose, comfortable clothing is ideal, but there's no need to wear anything special for your Reiki treatment.

Yes. Reiki is carried out fully clothed. You'll only need to remove your shoes and perhaps any bulky coat, jumper or jewellery if it helps you feel more comfortable.

Reiki can be given using gentle, light touch or with my hands held just above the body. I will always respect your personal boundaries and, if you would prefer your Reiki treatment to be completely hands-off, that's absolutely fine.

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. You might notice warmth, coolness, tingling, heaviness, lightness or a sense of energy moving through the body. You may simply feel deeply relaxed and peaceful. Some people even drift off to sleep.

That's completely fine. There is no "right" way to experience Reiki. Some people notice lots of sensations, while others feel very little during the treatment but notice afterwards that they feel calmer, lighter or more relaxed. Your experience can also be different from one session to the next.

Please allow approximately 1 hour 15 minutes for your appointment. This includes a short chat before your treatment and a little time afterwards, so you don't feel rushed.

A Reiki session costs £25. Please see my booking page for current treatment options and prices.

My peaceful Reiki studio is in Fordham, Norfolk, just three miles from Downham Market. Surrounded by fields and wildlife, it's a quiet space away from the everyday rush.The treatment room itself has been designed to feel calming from the moment you walk through the door, with soft colours, natural touches and willow decorative pieces helping to create a warm, peaceful environment.

Yes, there is ample parking on the private driveway, so you don't need to worry about finding somewhere to park before your appointment.

Not at all! Many of my clients come to me for their very first Reiki experience. I'll explain what will happen before we begin and you're welcome to ask as many questions as you like. There's nothing you need to know, practise or prepare beforehand – simply come as you are.

There's no set rule. Some people enjoy Reiki occasionally when they feel they need some time to themselves, while others choose regular sessions as part of their wellbeing routine. We can discuss what feels right for you, but there is never any pressure to book a course of treatments.

No. Reiki is a complementary therapy and should not be used as a replacement for medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. If you have a health concern, you should always seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional. Reiki can be enjoyed alongside conventional healthcare as a way of supporting relaxation and general wellbeing.
