Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing and wellbeing. During a Reiki session you receive Reiki or "life force energy” which flows through us and lives within all of us. Because we are all connected and as one this treatment can be given either in-person or remotely. The principle idea behind Reiki is that if a person's ‘life force energy’ or ‘Prana’ ( Ayurveda) or Qi ( Traditional Chinese Medicine) is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stressed, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki helps to address this delicate balance.
The word Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words - Rei which means “Universal Wisdom or Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is a spiritually guided life force energy.
“I had to let you know that I have never experienced such great and emotional energy flow through me as I did yesterday. It was a mixture of feelings and the deep emotions blocked within which surfaced felt so intense.
Even yesterday during the day, randomly emotions were just surfacing and had to let it out a couple of times.
Thank you so much and I am glad I took the plunge and booked in my first reiki session with you!”

We will usually begin with a short chat, just to see and understand anything that miht be going on in life for you at the moment. You would then be invited to lay down on the treatment bed. You remain fully clothed, but I would usually ask you to remove your shoes. After getting comFORTABLE under a soft blanket I will guide you into a gentle meditation with soothing music. Once you are relaxEd the treatment will begin, using either hands on method ( placing hands gently on certain energy points in the body) or hands off ( where the hands simply hover over the energy centres instead). Both methods are equally effective and up to your own personal preference. At the end of the session there is time to ask any questions or receive any feedback on what might have come up for you.

Before the session I would ask you to provide a simple snap shot of your face. This helps to strengthen the. connection. We would connect via Zoom and this again gives you the opportunity to let me now anything that might be going on for you at the moment. We then turn off the cameras while I start the music and you lay back and relax in your own space. At the end of the session you will hear a gentle chime to let you know we have finished. I remain online for a short time in case you wish to discuss anything.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use with no known contraindications and can be used alongside all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery and healing.
Receiving Reiki can feel different to everyone. For some it can feel like a glowing radiance moving through you, others may feel a tightening and then releasing of emotions, others may feel very little is ‘happening’ at all. Simply trust in the process and know that Reiki is flowing and ‘working’ just as it should. Reiki treats the whole person; mind, body and soul, creating many wonderful effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing, improving sleep, reducing anxiety and stress and bringing clarity when life might feel stuck. You can receive Reiki either in-person with me at my clinic space in Reigate, Surrey or as a distance treatment.

“I had my first ever reiki session with Claire and wasn’t sure of what to expect of Reiki itself. I arrived feeling stressed because of things going on in my life and Claire instantly made me feel relaxed. As soon as the reiki began, I was instantly aware of a very positive energy, and bodily sensations arose off the back of this. Claire was able to identify a few things from the session that were aligned with me.
I left the session feeling relaxed, happy and lighter and told everyone I knew how great she was. I would highly recommend.” R.M
DISTANCE REIKI
If you are wondering how Distance Reiki works ( appointments take place over ZOOM) and what the experience might feel like, you might find it helpful to read the below article from the Editor of Natural Health Magazine, who had a distance Reiki healing with me.
About my training
I am a fully qualified Reiki Master/Teacher, trained in Usui Reiki Ryoho (Usui Spiritual Energy Method) and Usui Shiki Ryoho
(Usui Natural Healing method). I studied with Brighitta Moser-Clark in both Western and Japanese Reiki lineages. The Western line, brought from Japan to Hawaii in 1936 focuses on healing as a complimentary therapy. The Japanese lineage which remained in Japan until the 1980s, focuses on meditation and spiritual awakening. The two together harness the full scope of this beautiful practise.
