Reiki is an alternative therapy that originated in Japan. Pronounced “Ray-Key", it means universal life energy in Japanese. Reiki is a gentle, safe and effective healing technique that helps to restore equilibrium to the body's energy centers (chakras).
When these energy centres are operating in balance, the body's ability to self-heal is optimal. When these energy centres are not in balance our immune system becomes stressed and we develop dis-ease within the body. With Reiki, the energy field is brought into balance and the body is able to heal more quickly.
