Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a gentle yet powerful form of energy healing that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese words Rei (universal) and Ki (life energy). It’s a practice that helps to restore balance to the body, mind, and spirit by supporting your natural ability to heal.
Usui Reiki, the original form developed by Dr Mikao Usui, is often seen as a modern rediscovery of an ancient healing art. While Reiki as we know it today was founded in Japan, its roots trace back to ancient healing practices believed to have originated in India and Tibet thousands of years ago. Usui studied sacred texts and spiritual traditions from across cultures, seeking a method of healing that could be accessible to anyone, regardless of background or belief.
Through deep meditation and spiritual practice on Mount Kurama in Japan, he experienced a powerful awakening that reconnected him with the knowledge and energy of Reiki. From this experience, the Usui system of Reiki healing was born.
Reiki works by channelling universal life force energy into the body to help clear blockages and promote deep relaxation. It supports healing on all levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.
What To Expect in a Reiki Session
Each session I offer is intuitively guided and tailored to your unique energy. I don’t follow a set routine. Instead, I practise a traditional Japanese technique called Reiji ho, which allows me to connect deeply with your energy and be guided to where the healing is most needed. Each session lasts approximately 1 hour.
You’ll be invited to lie down, fully clothed, in a comfortable and quiet space. If you are attending in person, you’ll be welcomed into my peaceful healing room in Stewarton, Ayrshire. If we’re working remotely, you’ll receive your session in the comfort of your own home via Zoom. Distant Reiki is just as effective as in-person.
During the session, I place my hands gently on or just above your body, working with the energy centres (chakras) and areas that call for attention. You may feel warmth, tingling, gentle waves of energy, or simply a deep sense of peace. Some people receive insights or visuals, others simply drift into a restful state.
There’s no right or wrong way to experience Reiki. Your body and soul know exactly what to do with the energy.
How Can Reiki Help?
Reiki can benefit anyone, wherever they are on their journey. It works on a subtle energetic level to support your whole being. Many of my clients have found Reiki to be especially helpful in times of emotional upheaval, physical discomfort, or spiritual exploration.
People are often drawn to Reiki when they feel anxious, exhausted, stuck, navigating illness or simply needing space to breathe and reconnect. After a session, many report feeling calmer, lighter, more balanced, or even experiencing a gentle emotional release.
There are no contraindications for Reiki. It is safe, non-invasive, and suitable for everyone, including children, the elderly, and those undergoing medical treatment. It can also be a wonderful complement to other healing modalities or conventional medicine.

A Natural Return to Balance
Whether you’re looking for peace, healing, clarity, or simply time to rest, Reiki meets you exactly where you are. It offers a quiet invitation to come home to yourself.
Reiki doesn’t ‘fix’ you because you are not broken. It creates space to remember who you really are beneath the noise and overwhelm, allowing your body and soul to come back into alignment. When we slow down and reconnect with our inner light, healing begins.
If this resonates with you, I’d be honoured to hold space for you. 💜🤍
