WHAT IS REIKI

Reiki translates as Universal Life Force Energy and it’s a practice that originated in Japan over a hundred years ago from Mikao Usui.

Reiki is a energy healing technique, gentle and non invasive and at the same time very powerful.

It has now started to become very popular in west, with both private and public health authorities (including the UK’s NHS) recognising this method.

WHAT REIKI CAN HELP YOU WITH

Reiki can help you on many different levels: physical, emotional, spiritual.

It can help you relieve pain, stress and anxiety and enhance your overall well-being.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TREATMENT

We start with a small consultation to better understand what are your concerns and if you would like to focus on anything in particular.

You will be asked to lay down, without shoes but remaining fully clothed and with a blanket on top. Reiki can be hands placed on the body, or in the energy field, whatever feels more comfortable to you (hands off works just the same). The session will last around 50 minutes.

Reiki can sometimes bring feelings of heat, cool, or tingling, some people see colours, or memories resurface, some just feel deeply relaxed and some just fall asleep.

No preparation is required on your part before a Reiki treatment, however, you might like to set an intention for yourself in advance. Comfortable clothes are suggested.

Reiki stimulates your body’s own healing abilities, there are no contraindications or restrictions and everyone can enjoy it.

What people say

“Today I had my first reiki session with Mara, what can I say? It was a unique experience.

I have always been curious about this kind of practice, but never experienced one so I did not know what to expect. Moreover, I took it from remote so I was wondering how would this work. I think explaining it in detail it's not necessary, you just need to book your session and you will feel it in your body (literally) just after it starts. I reached a level of relaxation I haven't seen in a long time.

Mara, thank you, for giving me the opportunity to discover the reiki world. I think that all the contents and services you offer are so good and authentic and you have such a good impact on people's lives. I'm really grateful for this, I know it's not easy but I can clearly see all the effort you are putting into it. 🙏 Cecilia


"I suffer from anxiety and eating disorders, and I see a therapist every week. This was my first time partaking in a Reiki session and I didn't know anything of what I should expect.

Mara was incredible, from the beginning to the end. Her gentle guiding and openness made a skeptical like me, fully embrace the process.

All the bottled up anxiety and small body aches came afloat and slowly faded away once I tuned in with my breathing. When the session was over I felt like I had never experience resting before in my life. Mara took her time to ask my feedback without ever interfering with my experience.

It's now a few days later, and I realize how calm and poised I was able to be after this session, no intrusive thoughts, no irrational urges. Thank you Mara!" Ilaria


“I decided to take a reiki session with Mara because she has always given me very good vibes during the yoga lessons I attended. The reiki session was amazing, it helped me a lot to surrender. I’m currently going through big changes in my life and in the session I had a feeling of security and trust towards my new life. Also I felt so grounded and safe within my decision for the new chapter. I was not aware of how much I needed this fait to move forward in a more relaxed way. Mara was very professional, warm and respectful. Thank you!!” Leticia


“I had my first Reiki session with Mara and it was something special. Nothing like I ever experienced before! Few minutes into the session I felt my body relaxing completely and my mind entering that pre-sleep stage where we are able to let go our thoughts. I was able to see the places where my mind was taking me from the outside, letting thoughts flow freely and it felt great. I didn’t really know what to expect from the session, but my mind is always extremely busy and I feel quite stuck and drained by this lately, so this was such a breather for me. Also, Mara’s energy is literally palpable.. so refreshing, pure and positive. I am very much looking forward to more Reiki thank you Mara ♥️” Elena
