Reiki Healing in Cheltenham
& Distant Healing available

What is Reiki?

​

Reiki is a deeply relaxing energy healing treatment developed in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui (1865–1926). As a Reiki Master Teacher based in Cheltenham, I offer Reiki sessions in person at my healing room, and as distance Reiki anywhere in the world, with the same deeply calming results.

When I first discovered Reiki over 20 years ago, I was genuinely sceptical. I had no idea how energy healing worked. But after experiencing my first session, I felt an extraordinary sense of peace and my journey began. Today, Reiki is at the heart of everything I do, and I love sharing it with my clients, their children and their animals.

​

Reiki practitioners use their hands to channel energy into the recipient's body. This energy helps to remove blockages and restore balance to the body's energy centres, known as chakras. The practitioner acts as a conduit for the universal life force energy, and this energy flows into the recipient's body to help promote healing.

What happens during a Reiki session?

​​

During a Reiki session, you will lie down on a massage table or sit in a comfortable chair while the practitioner places their hands on or near your body. I have a comfortable single bed in my treatment room to help you fully relax. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation, you may see colours, or you may simply feel deeply relaxed. The session is typically very peaceful and calming, and you may even fall asleep.

What Can Reiki Help With?

 

Reiki is a wonderfully versatile healing modality that works on the whole person -  body, mind and spirit, rather than targeting a single symptom or condition. Because it works at the energetic root rather than the surface level, many people find it helpful for a surprisingly wide range of physical, emotional and mental health challenges.

​

Reiki is commonly sought for help with:

• Stress and anxiety - one of the most popular reasons people seek Reiki, as the deep relaxation response can bring almost immediate relief from the physical and mental effects of stress

• Depression and low mood - by restoring energetic balance and promoting a sense of inner calm and wellbeing

• Chronic pain and physical discomfort - including back pain, headaches, joint pain and tension held in the body

• Fatigue and burnout - Reiki can help restore energy levels and a sense of vitality when life has left you running on empty

• Sleep difficulties - many clients report significantly improved sleep quality following Reiki sessions

• Grief and emotional trauma - providing gentle support during difficult life transitions, loss or periods of emotional upheaval

• Autoimmune conditions and chronic illness - as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical treatment

• Recovery from surgery or injury - supporting the body's natural healing processes

• Pregnancy and fertility - Reiki is safe throughout pregnancy and can be deeply supportive during this time

• Anxiety in children - Reiki is gentle, non-invasive and wonderfully effective for children of all ages

• Spiritual growth and self-development - for those on a conscious healing path who wish to deepen their connection with themselves

​

Reiki is not a substitute for medical treatment and I always encourage clients to continue working with their GP or healthcare team alongside any energy healing sessions. However as a complementary therapy, it can make a profound and meaningful difference to how you feel physically, emotionally and spiritually.

Reiki for Animals & Distance Healing

 

It is also wonderful for animals and sessions can be done distantly anywhere in the world with the same results as energy is not limited by physical space or time. It can even be used on your home to help remove detrimental energies.

​

I usually ask for a photo of the person or animal, their name, age and the reason for the session in advance. Then at an agreed date and time, I will tune into their energy as if they were with me and facilitate a Reiki session. I will contact the client at the end of the session, usually by email and let them know what came up during the healing session and if I feel a follow-up session would be beneficial we can discuss that further. 

 

Quantum physics has demonstrated through the principle of quantum entanglement that particles remain instantaneously connected regardless of distance, supporting what energy healers have always known: that healing energy is not limited by physical space or time.

How many sessions will I need?

​

The number of sessions you need will depend entirely on your individual circumstances, goals and the nature of what you are working with. Some people notice profound shifts after a single session, while others benefit most from a course of treatments over time.

​

It is worth bearing in mind that if you have been living with an emotional or physical challenge for many years, healing rarely happens in a single session, and that is completely normal. The body heals in layers, much like peeling back the layers of an onion. Each session reveals the next layer, and with each layer we release, we move closer to the true root cause of the issue.

​​

This also means that sometimes your body or subconscious mind will decide what needs to be addressed first, and it may not be what you expected. For example, your first session may focus on clearing trapped emotions rather than the knee pain you came in with. This is not a detour, it is your system intelligently showing us what needs to heal before we can go deeper. Learning to trust that process is itself part of the healing journey.

​

My role is to follow what your body needs in each moment, layer by layer, with patience and care,  knowing that every release brings you closer to greater wellbeing.
