Reiki Therapy
Reiki brings about change and the change is always positive.
Reiki is a complimentary, holistic healing system that supports the body’s natural ability to restore balance and overall sense of wellbeing. Everything in nature operates on a rhythm, whether it’s our heartbeat, breath, or even how we feel when we’re rested, and Reiki helps bring the body back into that natural flow. During a Reiki treatment clients remain fully clothed while I place my hands directly on the body or a few inches above. Reiki therapy is a gentle, restorative approach that leaves people feeling refreshed, lighter, and calmer.
Before
You arrive feeling heavy, overwhelmed, or stuck. You may be carrying emotional tension or physical discomfort. Your mind is racing, and your energy feels off — like something just isn’t right.
After
You leave feeling calm, balanced, and more like yourself again. Tension dissolves, clarity returns, and your energy feels lighter and more open. You feel grounded, relaxed, and at peace — like your whole system has been realigned.
Reiki therapy
I offer Reiki treatments in the Garden Route at my home in Groot Brakrivier (a suburb of Mossel Bay), and every first & third Wednesday of the month at the CBD Care shop in George. Initial consultations are always 30 minute longer than follow-up treatments, to allow us to discuss the numerology report which I prepare for all my first-time clients.
I also offer Remote Reiki, where we don’t need to be in the same room, or even the same country to experience the healing power of Reiki. Visit the Distance Reiki page for more information.

Follow-up treatments
As with most medical treatments, healing takes time. I find that the effects of Reiki is usally felt strongest about two or three days after a treatment and continues to work for at least three weeks. Many of my clients find that Reiki therapy once a month, or every two months, is a good way to keep on top of their general wellbeing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy healing system, developed by a Japanese scholar Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th century. It's purpose is to bring balance to body and mind. During a treatment, the natural healing energy is absorbed by the client, so as to reinforce and support the body's natural ability to heal itself. Reiki supports, and enhances, other forms of treatment, and as such is a complimentary therapy.
Is Reiki safe?
Yes, it is safe for everyone. It's a non-invasive complimentary therapy with no reported side-effects. In fact, Reiki is offered as a complementary therapy to cancer and palliative care patients by numerous NHS hospitals in the UK and also at more than 50 hospitals in the USA.
What about Reiki and religion?
Reiki is not, and never has been, a religion nor does it replace faith. Even though it originated in Japan, it was never tied to any Eastern religious doctrine or a belief system. It was simply created as a method to bring balance to body and mind. As such, anyone can receive a Reiki treatment. It fits beautifully alongside whatever faith, spiritual path or personal philosophy you already follow. I have written an article specifically about reconciling Religion with Reiki.
What can Reiki treat?
Reiki has the ability to reinforce the body’s natural ability to heal itself at all levels, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. This means it can alleviate pain and aid in the healing of injuries and post-surgery soreness. Reiki improves overall health. On an emotional level, it can be used to treat anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and release the emotional blockages that leave you " feeling stuck". On a mental level, it can increase concentration and provide mental clarity. Most people report feeling a deep sense of calm yet also revitalized after Reiki. Please remember that Reiki is a complementary therapy. As such, it should not be used in the place of medically directed treatments or medicines.
What does Reiki feel like?
The Reiki experience differs from person to person. Common sensations you might become aware of during a Reiki treatment are warmth or cold at some points along your body, you might see colours or visions, have a tingling sensation, feel a vague "pulling" sensation from your head or your feet, slight pressure, or a floating sensation. Reiki can also sometimes cause a release of emotions. You may also feel absolutely nothing. Or all of these. The most significant effect that Reiki will have is deep relaxation. So even if you don't have a physical sensation, you can rest assured that your energy field is becoming balanced, which starts the process of self-healing and leads to a greater sense of calm and stress relief.
