What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese word representing Universal Life Energy, the energy which is in all living things. When this energy is activated for healing purposes Reiki addresses the mind, body & spirit. It accelerates the body’s ability to heal and brings about the joy of balanced health and wellbeing.

The system was developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese man who in the 1800’s undertook an extensive study of the healing phenomena and its development through history. Through travel, study and research he evolved a healing system which he spent his life practising and teaching to others.

Reiki healing can only be given by trained practitioners who have been attuned to the Reiki healing art. It is truly a complementary therapy and can be used in conjunction with other healing modalities, even those considered as orthodox.

Sandra is a fully qualified Reiki Master and a Member of the Reiki Federation.

Sandra believes that Reiki will give a balance to her life and practice, and that Physiotherapy and Reiki will complement each other and benefit her patients. She has received Reiki healing personally over many years and has found its effects profound and yet gentle.

When patients attending for physiotherapy treatment frequently reported that they found Gatehouse a tranquil place, and felt the environment enhanced their healing as much as the treatment itself, it prompted her in the direction of Reiki training.
