Be the best version of yourself with a hands-off approach to balancing energy and well being. Reiki was developed in Japan in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. It may also be referred to as Reiki energy, the Usui system of Reiki, and therapeutic touch. A Reiki practitioner places their hands on or near the client’s body, focusing on areas like the head, torso, arms, and legs. The practitioner may also use crystals or wands. The purpose of reiki is to increase energy levels, encourage relaxation, and strengthen the body’s own natural healing abilities.
