Reiki is a form of light touch that helps to calm the body and bring about a balanced state of relaxation and rejuvenation. Reiki gently influences the body in shifting from the sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight or freeze) to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest, digest and repair), so your system can more easily access its own self-healing abilities. Reiki practice integrates safely with any necessary medical care and is ideal for health concerns where massage is not recommended.
