What happens during
a Reiki therapy session?
A Reiki therapy session lasts either an hour or an hour and a
half, depending on which treatment option you choose. See Reiki treatment
options.
The treatment takes place with you fully clothed, lying down on a treatment table or
seated on a chair if you prefer. During the first half hour of the longer
session there is also time for you to discuss particular life challenges, health
or emotional concerns, gain new insights into what may have caused them
and how to deal with them more effectively, and learn stress management
techniques that you can then apply in your life. This will give you
greater control over your health and well-being and support your progress in
between sessions for a speedier recovery.
The Reiki treatment takes place in silence, with soft
background music. During treatment, I
channel the flow of Reiki through my hands by placing them gently on or slightly above specific energy centres (chakras) on
the front and back of your body, beginning at your head and working down to your
feet. Alternatively I may focus the
Reiki treatment on one specific area, depending on
your particular needs. You may feel heat and tingling coming from
the chakras as they draw in the
energy your body needs.
During a Reiki session it is common for clients to feel
so deeply relaxed and peaceful that they fall asleep. You may also at times
experience physical or emotional sensations as the energy of Reiki moves through you. Everyone’s experience is unique and usually differs from one
Reiki session to
another, depending on how you are feeling and what you are specifically needing
at the time. However, clients typically report a feeling of warmth and loving
reassurance, and a peaceful, glowing radiance that flows both through and around
them. Many are amazed at their experience.
How
quickly can I expect Reiki to work?
Reiki
energy is subtle and works regardless of surface awareness.
Changes will happen at the level and
pace that is just right for you and cannot be controlled or rushed. It is your
subconscious that is in charge throughout and knows what is needed and what you
are ready for. I am simply the facilitator of the process, who understands and
respects both the power of Reiki to transform and your innate ability to heal
yourself.
A single Reiki session is profoundly relaxing in
itself, and it is sometimes possible to experience significant relief after just one
treatment, particularly if the session includes some brief, solution-focussed
counselling. However, if you want support for a more serious or longstanding
challenge, I would suggest that you consider having regular Reiki treatments over a period of
time and monitor your progress.

Treatment Options: As I am also trained in
brief, solution-focused Human Givens counselling, life coaching, hypnotherapy,
hypnohealing, neurolinguistic programming (NLP) and Emotional Freedom
Technique (EFT - a form of emotional acupuncture), I offer a couple of treatment options,
depending on your needs and on what kind of support you think would be most
helpful to you in your present circumstances.
Option 1: I find
that many people coming for Reiki appreciate having time to talk about what is challenging them
and benefit from the additional support of counselling or coaching, stress-management techniques
they can then use at home, and health advice. This support complements a traditional Reiki treatment
very effectively, giving clients useful insights and tools
which empower them to participate
more actively in their own recovery between sessions. I therefore now make
this a normal part of my standard Reiki session, which lasts an hour and a
half.
Option 2: For those
who prefer Reiki on its own, I also offer one hour Reiki-only sessions where
clients can simply lie quietly throughout the treatment and allow the energy to flow
through them. If you would like this shorter treatment, please make it
clear at the time of booking.
Cost: Standard Reiki treatment
(90 minutes) - £50
Reiki-only
treatment (60 minutes) - £35
Block Booking: If
you wish, you can book a block of 6 weekly or fortnightly sessions in
advance for a discounted fee, payable in full at the first session and
non-refundable thereafter:
6 x 90 minute sessions -
£260
6 x 60 minute sessions - £185
Parking: There is ample free
on-street parking nearby, and I am on the 12, 26,
31, 38 and X48 direct Lothian bus routes - http://lothianbuses.com/routemap.php.
Cancellation Policy: Please note that 24 hours' notice is required of any
cancellation or change of appointment,
for whatever reason, or the session must be paid for in full, and this is non
negotiable.
Distant Treatment/Telephone
Counselling: If you are unable to come to me for any reason, I also offer either
either Reiki-only distant treatment sessions (60 minutes including a follow-up
chat on the phone) or a combination of telephone counselling during the
first half of the session followed by a distant treatment (90
minutes in total). The costs are the same as for face-to-face
sessions, but with payment required in advance either by cheque or by PayPal
- www.paypal.com/.
Home Visits: If you are
physically incapacitated and therefore unable to come to me either because
you cannot travel or because you cannot manage stairs (my therapy room is up
a flight of stairs), I am also happy to arrange day-time home visits
if you live
reasonably nearby (no more than 15 minutes by car) and there is local free parking
available (or you are willing to pay for the parking charges).
Standard Reiki treatment (90 minutes + travelling
time) - £65
Reiki-only
treatment (60 minutes + travelling time) - £50
