What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique where a practitioner has learnt to channel healing life force energy through their hands to allievate a myriad of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual difficulties. It is most commonly used to treat stress, anxiety and depression, and to promote a deep sense of relaxation and peace, but it can support with any condition that has a negative impact on your health and well-being.
I discovered Reiki as a support to deal with the devastation of a terminal illness diagnosis in my immediate family in 2003 and it was so instrumental in me finding a way through, I decided to train in this myself and have been using this gentle but powerful healing technique since 2005 to support 100’s of clients through the years. I find it particularly helpful for those who have a nervous system that has been switched on to a state of hyper vigilance and high alert through trauma and sensitivity to life, as Reiki helps the mind and body relearn what it truly feels like to be in a state of deep relaxation, often for the first time in their lives.
Reiki Healing
How does it work?
Prior to your Reiki booking we will have a 20 minute discovery call , so I can find out more about what you need and tell you more about how I work, if this is a fit then we go ahead and arrange an appointment.
There will be a consultation on your first appointment, and then the Reiki will take place. Clients lay down fully clothed on my therapy bed, and I will place my hands either on or above your body, both as equally effective. The time taken varies depending on need but on average its about 40/50 mins for a treatment. Afterwards, I will give you time and space to come around and talk about your experience, and I will offer any intuitive insights that might support your well-being going forward. I allow 90 minutes for the whole session in total. There is no obligation to book further sessions.
Reiki Teaching
I have been teaching Reiki to students since 2005 in small groups from my therapy space at home. Reiki courses are divided into Reiki 1, Reiki 2, and Reiki Master.
Reiki 1 is primarily focused on self-healing, becoming aware of any blocks to self development and moving through those, learning how to take good care of your energy, practicing solid energy self care, how to sit in meditation and access deeper wisdom within yourself and harness the power of your own intuition and instincts as a guide throughout your life.
Reiki 2 builds on the foundation you’ve built in Reiki 1, plus a focus on learning how to give Reiki healing to others, either informally or to set it up as a business.
Reiki Master is the level at which you choose to integrate Reiki into your daily life, and enables you to teach others.
I am highly skilled at creating safe and nurturing spaces where people can turn up as their most authentic self, receive the utmost care, compassion and respect for whatever stage they are at in life, and learn in a relaxed, informal and non pressured environment created just for this purpose. I only teach in small groups (4 max) to maintain this professional standard of care and intimate learning space with like minded individuals.
How does it work?
Prior to booking we have a 20 minute discovery call to discuss your needs and for me to tell you more about how I work, and if it’s a fit then we go ahead and start your Reiki journey.
You can join me at any level even if you haven’t learnt the Reiki 1 or 2 with me previously.
Testimonials
“Denise has been an incredible support and reassuring guide for me over the last 7-8 years. I first saw her in person when my daughter was very little and through a wonderful reiki session she confirmed what I needed to know and was in denial about...Since then, and I’ve relocated I’ve benefitted massively from her virtual sessions. She has metaphorically held my hand, saved my mental health and lightened the heaviness of my grief many a time and I am deeply grateful. Denise is lovely, wise, experienced and a true gem.”
“Learning Reiki with Denise has been a truly transformative experience. She teaches with so much wisdom, kindness, and patience, making the practice feel accessible and empowering. I now feel confident in using Reiki for my own healing and to support those around me. She is a gifted teacher!”
"Denise has also really helped me personally over the last few years. I have had quite a few sessions of RST (Root Source Therapy) and Reiki which have helped me hugely to process things which I have talked 'about' in therapy for years but had nonetheless felt quite stuck...The combination of talking through whatever desperately needed to be voiced alongside the RST / RCT and Reiki that Denise provides has been profoundly helpful and I come away, lighter, freer and more able to be the parent (and person!) I am, when I feel more grounded, nourished and supported."
“I went into my Reiki session with Denise feeling completely drained, and I left feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced. Her energy is so soothing, and she creates such a safe space for healing. I felt an immediate shift, and the benefits have lasted long after our session.”
