​Reiki is a beautifully gentle healing therapy that uses the natural universal energy that is all around us to aid re-balancing and relaxation of the mind body and spirit.

 It was developed by Dr. Usui in the mid 1800s and is given fully clothed.  The treatment is deeply relaxing and suitable for most people. During the treatment the therapist will gently place their hands in specific areas of your body, and you may feel warmth, gentle buzzing, or sometimes no feeling at all except profound peace. Sometimes the therapist will work around your body without touching you.

The massage routine is simple and easy to learn, and the teaching sessions are informal and fun, but are structured so that you have plenty of time to work with your baby and ask questions under the watchful eye of your instructor.  There are no exams or assessments - just beautiful fun time with your little one!
