Reiki can help if you are looking for a way

to reduce your stress

and increase your emotional well-being

Life is so demanding these days it is easy to forget to take care of yourself and slip gradually (or sometimes hurtling like a landslide) into stress, exhaustion and a chronic state of just surviving. You can find you have difficulty relaxing, which leads to not sleeping well and feeingl tired and irritable. You may have some form of pain that exhausts you. You may simply be feeling world weary and that your ‘get up and go’ has gone.

When you feel like this it is often difficult to do anything about it. You don’t want to be poked or prodded, you don’t want to undress in front of strangers, you don’t want to have to remember anything, like taking pills, to feel better.

Reiki is gentle, unintrusive and relaxing

You lie on a comfortable couch, fully clothed and covered with a blanket. The Reiki practitioner places their hands gently on your head, abdomen and back in a comforting and un-intrusive way. These hands will often feel very warm, assisting your relaxation like a hot water bottle. You may drift off to sleep, you may stay awake, but finding that your mind relaxes and what seemed so important 10 minutes ago is not so worrying.

"I realised I had never relaxed before in my whole life. This was the first experience of true relaxation"

You will normally feel deeply relaxed, possibly even falling asleep. Your pain is likely to ease and at the end of the treatment, you get up feeling refreshed and with a peaceful feeling of well-being. There are no pills or remedies to take, no exercises to remember, no uncomfortable intrusions on your body. And the Reiki energy you have received goes on working for 24 hours, while the effects can of course last even longer.

Reiki helps to restore balance to the body, mind, emotions and spirit, helping you move towards enjoying greater peace and contentment in your life.

Comments from clients:

"I felt quite run down and stressed. I feel a lot better, have loads more energy and am coping much better with stress levels. I am finding the Reiki Sessions more relaxing as time goes on."

"Kate, thank you for the reiki that you gave me, it has helped to restore balance and energy back into my life and has made me feel a lot better in the grieving process. Your support, dedication, compassion and understanding has helped me through this dark period in my life - I am beginning to see a glimmer of light on the horizon. For that, thank you is not enough."

"I love it! I find each treatment is like a journey into self that enables me to deal with issues and blocks that are preventing me from living to my full potential as a human being."

"Life changing. It is now part of my life. Give yourself a present and the opportunity to open different paths."

If you are a Reiki practitioner you already know how good a Reiki treatment feels: when did you last give yourself this wonderful experience by receiving a treatment yourself? Isn't it about time? What better way is there to support yourself in your Reiki practice?

So how much Reiki would I need?

If you have an acute problem (such as a recent injury) or are only slightly stressed or overwrought a single treatment can help to you to heal and restore balance. If your problem is more long-standing a series of treatments will be more beneficial. Reiki can help you to achieve a new sense of calm, to worry less and re-discover the joy in your life. It is a good idea to start with 4 treatments to see how Reiki can help you. This is sometimes done over 4 consecuative days which is a very effective way of getting healing going.

"I do not pretend to understand how Reiki works but it has helped to protect and strengthen me through a particularly stressful time. The combination of good Reiki and Kate's warm and wise personality is a powerful force. At its worst - calming and grounding; at its best, a way of improving health and developing a deeper understanding of yourself. Highly recommended!"

So What is Reiki?

Where can I get treatments? And the cost?

I offer treatments at Helena Lane centre in Ludlow, Shropshire (UK). I also offer Reiki at Central England Holistic Therapy Centre in Birmingham. There is free parking at both venues.

I charge £35 for a session which will usually last about 1 - 1 1/2 hours (£45 at Central England Holistic Therapy Centre). I am currently offering the first treatment at Helena Lane for just £10.00, so why not come along and give Reiki a try.

I also offer short treatments, if you feel you would like to experience Reiki but don't want to have a whole hour. Please enquire for details.

The fee is negotiable for those on a low income. Please do not hesitate to ask for a reduced fee if you need it: I would prefer you to come for help for a reduced fee than not to come at all due to financial difficulties. I can also do home visits in a radius of 30 miles (travel expenses would then be payable on top of the session fee)

You could also learn to do Reiki for yourself and have this wonderful healing ability in your own hands any time you need it. To find out more click here.
