What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle energy therapy that works with the whole person — physical, emotional, mental and energetic.
For some people, a Reiki session provides a deeply relaxing opportunity to slow down, rest and step away from the demands of everyday life. For others, the experience can feel like much more — an opportunity to reconnect, restore a sense of balance and create space for whatever may need attention at that time.
You don't need to understand Reiki, believe in anything in particular, or have experienced energy therapies before. People come to Reiki for many different reasons, and each person's experience can be different.
People come to Reiki for many different reasons. Sometimes it is simply because life has been busy and they need an opportunity to stop. At other times, they may be going through a period of stress, change, emotional difficulty or physical discomfort and are looking for some additional support.

Why do people choose Reiki?
Creating an opportunity for the body and mind to slow down, rest and step away from the constant demands of everyday life.
Providing a quiet space when you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained or simply not quite yourself.
Some people choose Reiki alongside their usual healthcare when experiencing physical discomfort, fatigue or periods of recovery — not as a replacement for medical treatment, but as a complementary therapy supporting their overall wellbeing.
For others, Reiki is less about a particular problem and more about feeling centred, connected and back in balance.
Some people experience Reiki as part of their personal or spiritual wellbeing. There is no requirement to hold any particular spiritual or religious belief to experience Reiki.
What happens during a Reiki session?
If this is your first Reiki appointment at De-Stress and be HAPPY, your practitioner will spend a little time talking with you about what has brought you in, whether you have experienced Reiki before and anything that may be relevant to your session.
You'll remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on the treatment table. Your practitioner will generally begin around your head and gradually work towards your feet. Their hands may rest gently on appropriate areas of your body, with your permission, or may be held just above your body.
During Reiki, people notice all sorts of things. You might experience warmth, coolness, tingling, pressure or other sensations — or you may notice very little at all. There is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki, and what your practitioner notices may be different from what you experience.
You are welcome to ask questions during your session. Your practitioner may also ask for feedback or talk with you about what they are noticing as they work.
Before beginning, you may be asked about something you would particularly like support with. For example, if you are experiencing discomfort, stiffness or anxiety, you may be asked how it feels before the session. Afterwards, you can check again and see whether you notice any difference.

After your Reiki session
After Reiki, some people feel deeply relaxed or sleepy, while others feel refreshed and ready to get on with their day. Occasionally, you may feel a little light-headed or slightly unsteady when you first get off the treatment table.
There is no need to rush. You are welcome to spend 10–15 minutes sitting in the waiting room before driving, or perhaps take some time for a walk along the beach before continuing with your day.

How often might I have Reiki?
There is no set number of Reiki sessions that you need to have. Many people choose to have Reiki regularly for a period of time, while others return occasionally as part of their ongoing wellbeing and self-care. Some people may simply choose to experience Reiki once.
How often you come will depend on what has brought you in, the changes you notice along the way, and how you would like to continue progressing.
Over a number of sessions, you may notice changes in different areas of your wellbeing — physically, emotionally or mentally. As things change, the focus of your sessions may change too.
You and your Reiki practitioner can discuss what you are noticing and decide together whether another appointment would be useful, and when.
