A System of Natural Healing
|
As a practitioner of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, I channel Life Energy. In its original, natural form, Life Energy is in balance, healthy and vibrant. Facilitating this well of energy, I act as a conduit for the Rei-ki to flow in, around and through the client, amplifying the life force energy of the individual, returning the person towards their natural state of balance and well-being.
Reiki helps reduce stress and aids in maintaining personal health, revitalising work and personal relationships, boosting creativity and living in spiritual fulfillment. It is a gateway to our inner knowledge, bringing awareness of how we can aid our own healing. |

Reiki acts on the cause rather than the symptom, and as such is a holistic therapy. Reiki helps us to regain harmony and wholeness, working on the whole person: the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It can be a powerful aid in personal development. Reiki may be used in conjunction with both traditional medicine and other complementary therapies. Like most therapeutic practices, Reiki is cumulative, which means the benefits increase with the number of treatments. It is also extremely supportive for general maintenance. |
What Happens in a Reiki Treatment?
Each consultation begins with some time to talk before the treatment.
During the treatment itself, you remain fully clothed. You lie down or sit in a chair, whichever is more comfortable. Starting at the head, I place my hands in a series of positions covering your body. Each hand position is held for several minutes. Some pressure and light massage may be applied. The whole person is treated, though certain areas may receive special attention as the energy directs.
At the end of each session, there will be the opportunity for you to express how you experienced the treatment. You will also receive feedback from me. There will be the opportunity to discuss possible changes to lifestyle and discover self-help techniques that you can practice at home to support your healing.

Each person experiences a Reiki treatment differently, depending on their individual needs at the time. Often people feel a deep sense of relaxation and peace during a treatment. Some people feel sensations of heat, tingling, or experience colours, whilst others can have a physical or emotional reaction, indicating the body's healing processes are working and balance is being restored to the system. As blocks are removed and toxins released, some discomfort can be experienced during a treatment; however most people find treatments to be deeply relaxing. Some people say a Reiki treatment is the equivalent to 4 hours deep sleep.
How many treatments will you need?
An initial consultation will dedicate some space to discussing your needs. Like most therapies, Reiki is cumulative, which means the benefits increase with the number of treatments. It is also extremely supportive for general maintenance.
Four consecutive Reiki treatments
A chronic condition or an issue that has built up over a period of time often benefits from more than one treatment. Having a series of four consecutive treatments means you'll begin to access deeper layers of healing, often bringing about impactful results. The first treatment initiates the process of healing and tends to be very relaxing and enlightening in and of itself. Over the second and third treatments, the Reiki energy dives deeper often addressing core emotional and physical issues. The fourth treatment acts like a balm and you'll feel a sense of completion, wrapping up your journey with a renewed sense of balance and vitality. It's an integrated approach designed to unlock your full healing potential.
Four consecutive Reiki treatments can take place in concentrated form over four days or less intensively once a week over four weeks.
Thereafter we can meet on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis or whenever you need to.

Reiki Benefits
Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or grief? Are you in pain? Have you been experiencing tiredness or difficulties with sleeping? Do you feel you have lost direction or are at a crossroads in life?
Reiki is generally experienced as deeply relaxing, and helps reduce stress and anxiety.
Reiki helps to boost the immune system, release toxins from the body, encourage good circulation and digestion, calm the mind and emotions, and restore harmony and balance to the whole being.
Reiki is effective at helping with sleep, easing muscle-tension, fatigue and pain, and boosting energy levels.
Emotional problems such as anger, grief, anxiety, depression and fear respond very well to Reiki, as do compulsive, addictive and dependency behaviour patterns.
Reiki can aid in relieving acute pain; chronic, more deep-seated conditions may also respond well, but tend to need more treatments to get to the root of the problem.
Reiki supports the body's natural healing processes and so helps speed up recovery from an accident, operation or traumatic experience.
Reiki can act as valuable support when traversing difficult periods.
Reiki can help to release limiting patterns of behaviour, shift relationship dynamics, increase understanding, and reconnect the different parts of the Self in terms of body, mind, emotions and spirit.
You do not need to know how or what to change, each treatment provides an opportunity to explore. As your therapist, I will support your journey of growth. Both gentle and dynamic, Reiki stimulates breakthroughs and encourages you to take positive steps forward in leading the life you desire.
Change often occurs seamlessly, and you may not notice how or why, or quite when, but you feel better, lighter, fresher, and fuller of life.
Reiki is wonderful for pregnant women. It can ease physical and emotional tension and help the mother feel more connected and in touch with her baby. Unborn babies seem to love Reiki too, and will even follow the practitioner's hands around as the mother is being treated! After birth, Reiki can help babies sleep better, as well as assist with conditions such as colic. For the mother, Reiki is also extremely relaxing and can help with tiredness and post-partum depression.
Children usually love Reiki and often respond very quickly to it as they haven't held problems for long lengths of time. Reiki can be a great complement to children undertaking other forms of therapy or counselling. Treatments tend to be shorter than for an adult.
Animals respond just as well to Reiki as people; and Reiki treatments may be claimed on certain pet health insurance schemes.
Sometimes there may not be enough time to reverse the progress of a disease. In such cases, Reiki can help to enhance the quality of the time left, and bring peace and acceptance at the end of a person's life.

"My first reiki treatment session, and Samantha made me feel so comfortable. She has a wonderfully calm, positive & authentic vibe, and you can tell just how passionate she is about her work. I highly recommend her." - Sam E.
"I came to Reiki as a 4th stage metastatic prostate cancer patient with a very late diagnosis. I was suffering a great deal of torment and pain: physical, mental and emotional. I had no idea what to expect.
What I got began as emotional releases of blockages and traumas, just a flood of releasing: fear, hopelessness, helplessness. I have experienced just how powerful a role my mind has in perpetuating illness in my body...and have learnt how powerful, both for good or mistaken is the mind. Trying to discipline my mind and emotions will take the rest of my life. That's fine.
The body too has been a surprise. Sam's sessions have awakened deep reserves of strength. Incredible are the possibilities of the human body. There are deep resources within it that Reiki is able to awaken.
And a wonderful thing has happened, an incredible thing: a life lived according to spiritual principles. Most of my life I have run away from relationships. I now see my life in terms of relationships, my family and community. The small actions I have taken have made others happy. I am joyous to be learning how to live at last.
Sam's intervention in my life, inexplicable to me in some ways, has been the answer to my heart's prayer: A life lived in the spirit of light and love and truth. I am happy. Although my day-to-day pursuance of health has changed little outwardly, and I have physical issues, my attitude has utterly. The Reiki sessions and Reiki I training I have taken with Sam mean I have the mental and spiritual tools to cope." - Joe S.

Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki is a form of healing and spiritual awakening, received and brought back into practice in Japan in the late 19th century by Dr Mikao Usui. It is passed on from one person to other via initiations (or attunements), teachings and a form of practice. Rei - ki means "universal life - energy".
Dr Chujiro Hayashi, initiated and named by Dr Usui as his successor, opened up clinics and developed the teaching of Reiki. In turn he initiated Mrs Hawayo Takata, who brought Reiki to the knowledge of the West via her home in Hawaii.
If you decide to learn to practise Reiki yourself, you will find it an invaluable life-long friend.
