Reiki

Reiki is based on the idea that by helping to support the flow of energy the body can heal itself.

Reiki

Reiki is a non-contact treatment that was originally developed in Japan, with the name translating to ‘universal life energy’.
The therapist places their hands over your body, moving them in a sequence to cover each of the body's 'Chakras', otherwise known as energy fields.
You may feel a slight warmth or tingling in some areas of the body throughout the session as the therapist moves from Chakra to Chakra.

Medical information required before the first session.

When you contact Weston Park Cancer Support to arrange your complementary therapy sessions, you will be asked a variety of questions about your current health situation (we call these screening questions) to ensure the sessions will be safely delivery a tailored session based on your individual needs.
