The Energy Healing of Reiki

Reiki is so much more than just a massage technique. Started in Japan by a Japanese monk, Mikao Usui, it was introduced to the United States in the 1930s. Reiki is a form of energy healing that uses the hands with light touches all over the body as a way to transmit positive life energy to the person being treated.

Before your session, your massage therapist will discuss the process and what to expect. During the session, you may become so relaxed and focused that you may experience a tingling or heat, or even experience memories. It’s important to relax and let the experience happen to absorb the healing energy.
