Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for relaxation and stress reduction that promotes balance in the body. It is an energy healing practice which is simple to learn. Reiki can be done anytime and anywhere because it is administered through light non-invasive touch or no touch at all. Reiki is a safe practice that does not interfere with any medical treatment or drug regimen prescribed by a doctor whether conventional or holistic. Reiki has been classified as vibrational medicine by the National Institute of Health and has been practiced successfully since the mid 1920’s.

Reiki can benefit anyone in any state of health. If you are healthy, Reiki helps you stay healthy! Reiki works on all levels; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. The National Institute of Health hopes to see Reiki integrated into every part of conventional medicine. Millions of people around the world incorporate Reiki practice into their daily lives to improve their overall health and wellbeing.
