Treatments

Reiki is a gentle energy-based healing and self-development system that originated in Japan under a Dr Mikao Usui.

Reiki is holistic; it works on the body, mind and spirit by allowing a person to draw in universal life force energy to stimulate their own natural healing abilities and clear any blockages to feeling well and at ease.

In one-to-one Reiki sessions, we’ll normally begin with a guided visualisation to help you relax and connect with yourself. The Reiki treatment itself is carried out lying down, fully-clothed and either hands placed lightly on your body, or held slightly off the body.

Depending on what is appropriate for you, I may intuitively weave through other elements including oracle card readings, touch for health kinesiology pressure points, guided imagery or EFT tapping.

You may feel subtle physical sensations like tingling, light-headedness or a change in temperature. You could even find yourself noticing an unusual smell or seeing colours, or shapes.

Some people feel emotions rise up. This can range from an incredible feeling of joy and happiness and not able to stop smiling, to a big block clearing and tears falling as it moves up and out of the system. I offer a safe space where all your feelings are welcome.

For others, a treatments is a more spiritual experience. While Reiki is free of any doctrine, you may find could become more aware of the you that is behind your thoughts. Your spiritual self. The observer of your thoughts. And may feel the presence of spirit guides or deceased loved ones around you.

If you feel nothing at all, that is absolutely fine - you will still have received the benefits of the Reiki. Energy moving is a subtle sensation that can take time to start noticing.

When we are used to living with pain or discomfort to the body, our awareness can disconnect as a coping mechanism. Tuning back in again, can take time and feel uncomfortable. Don’t force it - the treatment will be effective either way.

Absolutely not. You are welcome exactly as you are - whether you are exhausted, emotional, angry, anxious - all of you is welcome.

During a Reiki treatment, nothing is expected of you. You can just be however you are.

If you are in the Southern/Central cork area and needing Palliative support, I can bring the treatment to you. There is no need to move - I’ll work around you and where you are most comfortable. I can carry out the treatment while you are seated, or while you are in your own bed.

These treatments can bring huge comfort - easing anxiety and improving sleep and your ability to manage pain and discomfort. Often it is the spiritual aspects of these treatments that clients benefit from most - feeling a sense of connection to their spiritual self - however that looks for them - and finding a lovely peace within that.
