Meraki Healing – Meraki Wellbeing

I can get over excited and go on at length when I talk about the wonderful benefits of the wellbeing practices I use in my treatments. You may have noticed! Forgive me! I was 47 years old when I undertook training in reiki and I know it’s given me so much health and wellbeing back in to my life. I’m a happier, calmer, more content version of me again. I feel more connected to my life and that it has a sense of purpose again. I refer to it as “living in my heart not my head”. I KNOW in my heart what I need to do and where I need to be. I can’t promise the same for you after an hour or two in my Sacred Space but I I truly hope it can bring you some stillness, some space to find the answers or peace you seek.

Key information

Sessions are on a 121 basis.

To support accessibility, I have chosen to use an electric reclining chair for my treatments. This means you are in control of what position you receive your treatment.

Sessions are in my Sacred Space – my conservatory – which looks out on to my garden and will be heated or cooled the best I can for your treatment.

Additional information

Treatments will be as described but you are welcome to ask me to tailor things especially if you’re a returning client and felt one aspect of the experience was particularly beneficial. For example, extending the meditation at the outset of the experience may help you arrive, disconnect from a busy day and relax. Another adaptation that may help you settle is an extended hand and arm massage. I specifically trained in hand and arm massage to be able to ease you in to your Reiki treatment. What has come very naturally to me, is using the chakras in the hands to access more healing for you. I can provide advise following the treatment.

You will receive key information digitally prior to your appointment – please advise me at this time should I need to tailor anything specific ahead of time. For example, I would typically light some incense prior to a treatment. Not everyone likes this smell and some people have breathing conditions that could be irritated by this.

I will make every effort to get you nice and cosy during your treatment – please wear comfy clothes, there will be no judgement if you come in your pyjamas. I provide a cosy blankets and hot water bottle to help you get cosy especially if it’s cold outside. I get quite hot when I’m giving Reiki and you may too when you receive it – but some people cool off. It’s very individual.

Frequently Asked Questions – easy read

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a hands on healing that comes from Japan. Whilst it is hands on, you will not be touched between you collar bones and your hips or knees. My hands will be above your body, not touching, the central part of your body. Reiki uses energy (ki in Japanese) to heal physical problems within the body or emotional issues. It can also be used to aid relaxation and calm. It can also be used if you are considering changes in your life and you sense you may benefit from guidance to help you decide.

What will I feel during the treatment?

What people feel during Reiki varies. You may feel hot, or cold. You may see colours. You may experience itching or water trickling across your body or pins and needles. You may see things – such as an animal. You may fall asleep – I won’t wake you up. You may feel nothing. I’ve had Reiki on many occasions and I’ve never had the same experience twice.
If you feel nothing, it does not mean you’re not getting any benefit.

How will I feel afterwards?

You may feel relaxed and cosy, nurtured and like you’ve had a hug from the universe – hopefully! You may feel energised and full of energy. I felt different after reiki – sometimes I’ve gone home and got in to bed and slept, sometimes I’ve felt full of energy and done the housework!

Do I need to bring anything?

If you have a favourite blanket or mug do please bring them.

What should I wear?

Wear whatever you’re comfortable in. I’d recommend loose fitting and comfy clothes – so PJs or jogging bottoms and a hoodie are perfect!

Will I need to get up on to a couch and lay flat?

You won’t be on a couch. I chose to invest in a smart, electric reclining chair. It’s the type you may see in hospital or nursing homes that is very solid, comfy, totally wipe clean and electric. It smoothly reclines and you’ll be in control of how you’re positioned. Some people have vertigo or arthritis and need to position themselves. Some people find getting up on to a couch tricky mobility wise and some people find it easier to relax sitting up. I wanted to make my treatments as accessible for people as possible. You’ll decide on how you feel the most comfortable.

Will you use incense in the room?

Typically I use incense before and candles and/or incense during the treatment. I know not everyone likes the smell of theses and some people have breathing conditions. Please do tell me ahead of your treatment if you don’t want “any smells”!

Do you offer anything else? I’m trained in Reiki, acupuncture, meditation and massage. I use all of these in my standard treatments. I’d recommend you come and see me and try one of these treatments. After that, I’m more than happy to give you more of one aspect and less of another. Basically, I’m happy to tailor your time with me with what works best for you. Each treatment will be slightly different as Reiki is the type of treatment that’s affected by the energy within and around both you and I.
