Reiki is a subtle energy therapy that promotes relaxation and healing through the use of gentle touch. Reiki (pronounced "Ray-Key") means "universal life force energy" and was founded in the early 1900's by  Dr. Mikao Usui in Japan.The principle behind it is that our bodies are electromagnetic and energetic in nature, and this energy can be influenced in a healthy, positive way to balance the mind, body, and spirit.This natural healing energy flows in a powerful and concentrated form through the hands of the Reiki practitioner and enters the body of the receiver.

For those individuals who are healthy, Reiki promotes deep relaxation and balancing.  For those individuals who are not healthy, Reiki promotes physical and emotional healing as well as deep relaxation.  It is used as a complement to traditional medicine. Reiki balances the energies in the body, promotes clearer thought, increases energy, relieves physical discomfort, strengthens the immune system, releases blocks and suppressed feelings, and promotes creativity.
