Firstly, we will talk through any areas of concern you may have, such as physical aches and pains, and any emotional imbalances you may be feeling, such as overwhelm, stress, trauma etc.
Once we have addressed the areas you wish to work on, you are welcome to choose some music to have on in the background, even if it’s your favourite rock band I can guarantee you will still feel relaxed! I will ask you to take a few deep breaths while I initiate the flow of Reiki, and then we begin the massage. Some people like to have a chat during the massage which I always welcome, and others like to completely switch off, so whatever you feel is best for you. I will check you are comfortable and make sure the pressure is to your liking, but you are free to let me know too!
Once the session is complete, I encourage you to take a few minutes to sit and drink some water, and briefly chat about your aftercare before you head home.
Afterwards, you will likely feel lighter and very relaxed, both physically and mentally. Physical tension oftens melts away and you may feel more at ease and connected to yourself. I always advise taking it easy for the rest of the day if you can.
Occasionally you may feel a little sore after deep tissue massage for a day or two, like you might after a workout. This happens when very tight muscles or tension is loosened and usually fades within a day or two as the body adjusts and begins the healing process. I am happy to hear how you are feeling after a session or if you have any questions so I can support you if needed during your healing.
Reiki is a gentle energy healing technique that uses non evasive energy to support the body’s natural ability to heal and helps balance the body, mind and spirit. The word Reiki means ‘Universal life force energy’. By gently placing the hands on the body, this energy is channelled through the practitioner and flows to where it’s needed most. This helps to release tension, reduce stress, and promote a strong sense of connection and wellbeing.
Absolutely! Many clients find a combination of reiki, massage, reflexology and aromatherapy to be deeply effective and tailored to their unique needs.
