What is Reiki Healing all about?

I’m Sophie, a Hampshire based Reiki Healing & Energy Practitioner and have practiced my Reiki & Energy Healing for almost 20 years now.

My background was in IT Marketing for many years, which brought with it a fairly frenetic lifestyle that took me all around the world. Whilst I loved my job and travelling at the time, I also loved coming home and longed for a slower pace of life and for a deeper connection with nature around me, so chose to change my career and made a move to the Hampshire countryside, where I also started my family. I became a Maker working first with jewellery, then moved into the world of interiors, a lifelong passion which sees me where I am today making lampshades, alongside practising my energy work.

​I have always been a huge believer and advocate of energy work for many years. I have had a natural and intuitive curiosity for it since I was very young. Back in 2003, I began on my own Reiki Healing journey, when I visited a healer for several years. I then trained and completed Parts I, II and finally my Reiki Master Practitioner Degree over the following year. I practiced for a couple of years once qualified, but took time out to have my family, returning in earnest a few years later, although continuously practising on family and friends and of course myself along the way.

As I’ve got older and had to navigate life’s many curve balls and bumps in the road, being able to turn to and tap into a more gentle, natural and intuitive approach to healing has been truly invaluable. Experiencing first hand just what Energy Healing and Breathwork can bring about is nothing short of amazing and seen me through some pretty dark times.

​I am a proud member of the UK Reiki Federation.

The word ‘Reiki’ is taken from the Japanese language, combining ‘rei’ meaning universal and ‘ki’ meaning vital energy.

Founded by Mikao Usui in Japan in the early 20th Century, this ancient practice of channelling energy to balance and promote healing and well-being within us is gaining popularity in a world where we strive to deal with the stresses and anxieties modern life often throws at us. Reiki Energy Healing can help us to relieve those stresses and anxieties as well as dis-ease and bring harmony across all aspects of our physical, emotional, mental and emotional bodies and it is here that I offer you a safe space to start you on your healing journey.

Put very simply, Reiki is based on the concept that we are all made up of energy. For us to feel whole and balanced and have a sense of well-being, that energy needs to flow freely and uninterrupted. However, modern life with all it’s stresses, chaos and noise can easily disrupt that energy flow causing illness and dis-ease.

During a Reiki Treatment, the practitioner will connect to the Universal Energy. They will channel this energy, allowing it to flow to where it will be needed most. They will do this by laying their hands on and around the recipient’s head and body. Energy blocks can be cleared, allowing the energy to flow more freely again, leaving the recipient feeling more calm, relaxed and energised.

Energy healing can provide a relaxing and positive way to help you heal your own body. It will encompass not only our physical bodies, but mental and spiritual too. Reiki’s gentle energy is easily adapted to most medical conditions and may be used safely by people of all ages from the very young to the elderly, and in any situation.

It can be great for stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, headaches, digestion issues, trauma and much more. Reiki works effectively alongside orthodox healthcare and natural remedies, expanding treatment options for the recipient. Reiki can even be performed on animals.

Everyone will experience something slightly different during a Reiki & Energy Healing Treatment. You will also find that you may well experience something different every time you have a treatment. I will tailor your treatment for you, ensuring you get the best out of it. To begin to truly understand where you may have blockages and to start to clear these. Whether you book an In-Person or Distance Reiki Healing Treatment, the results will be same.

You may feel tingling, heat or cool sensations in different parts of your body. Some people see lights or colours. You may feel so deeply relaxed that you fall asleep. Some will have quite a profound experience throughout, whilst others may not feel anything at all but whatever you feel, just know that every treatment will be hugely beneficial.

Be openminded and let the energy flow freely. You may not instantly feel anything on a physical level initially, but the more treatments you have, as the layers are uncovered and old patterns or blockages are released, you’ll begin to feel lighter, more relaxed and balanced as a whole.

Reiki Energy Healing is great for reducing stress levels, which in turn can reduce inflammation, pain and dis-ease. You will also start to feel more energised and grounded after a treatment. No matter what, I always hold a safe & confidential space for all my clients…
