💫I’m a Reiki practitioner, but I’m also a nurse — and because of that, I value research, evidence and the balanced argument they can give us.

For me, it doesn’t have to be a choice between believing in the energetic experience of Reiki and being interested in what the research says. There is room for both.
Reiki has been studied, and some of the findings are genuinely encouraging. Research has reported improvements in areas such as anxiety, pain, tiredness, mood, relaxation and overall wellbeing.

But the research is also still developing. Many studies are relatively small, not all findings are consistent, and larger, well-designed trials are still needed.
And I think it’s important to say that too.
I would never want to present Reiki as a replacement for medical care, medication, therapy or mental-health support. I see it as a complementary wellbeing practice — something that can sit alongside the care and support we may already have.

Perhaps research can only ever tell us part of the story.
Because Reiki is also an experience.

💫A chance to stop.
✨️To rest.
🫶To soften.
To be cared for rather than constantly doing and giving.
To reconnect with yourself for a little while.
Some people feel warmth or tingling. Some become deeply relaxed. Some feel emotional. Some feel very little during the session but notice afterwards that they feel lighter, calmer or simply more themselves.
There is no “right” way to experience Reiki.

So if you’ve ever been curious, perhaps the best way to form your own opinion is simply to experience it for yourself.
Come with an open mind, no expectations and just allow yourself the space to receive.

The ‘ber’ months don’t have to begin with a rush.
🍂
September often brings us back to routine — schools return, diaries begin to fill, evenings draw in and life can suddenly feel a little busier again.
But around us, the energy of the season is shifting too.
The light is changing.
The mornings feel different.
Nature is beginning its gradual turn inward.
Perhaps we can take something from that.
Rather than immediately filling every space, this transition between seasons can be a lovely time to notice our own energy too.
What feels ready to slow down?
What are you ready to let go of?
What would you like to make a little more space for?
🪷
We don’t have to arrive in September at full speed.
Perhaps the changing season can simply be an invitation to soften, settle back into ourselves and move into the months ahead a little more gently.

🌿 Energy Flows | Weekly Reset

I really liked the idea of The Gentle Exhale for this week.
After the Full Moon and eclipse, perhaps it's a good time to just slow things down a little and notice what we're carrying with us.
I know how easy it is to keep going, filling our days and moving from one thing to the next without really stopping to think about what we actually need.

So this week I'm going to try the little evening practice myself — phone down for five minutes, soften the shoulders, take a few slower breaths and ask...
What can I put down for today?
Nothing complicated. Just a few minutes to pause and come back to yourself.
🤍
Take what you need, leave what you don't, and carry a little more calm into your week.

Jo

One of the things I love most about what I do is witnessing those first, subtle shifts.
Sometimes a client arrives feeling heavy, tired or drained. You can see it in their face, in the way they hold their body… and often, I can feel it in their energy too.
Then, after Reiki, there’s a change.
A little more softness in the face.
A lightness in the body.
That sparkle returning to the eyes. ✨
And I know that what I’m seeing in that moment is only the beginning, because the effects of Reiki don’t simply stop when you get up from the treatment bed and walk out of the door. The energy can continue to settle, integrate and unfold in the hours and days that follow.
That’s why I love what I do.
Reiki supported me when I needed it, and I feel incredibly grateful that it is now part of the way I can support and gently guide others.
There’s something very special about watching someone leave carrying themselves just a little differently than when they arrived. 🤍
