Do you feel tired all the time?
-
Is your to-do list getting longer and longer?
-
Do you find yourself worrying about everything?
-
Would you love to get that spring back in your step?
-
Would you love to experience Reiki with Heather, but are too far away from York?
If this sounds like you, then a distant Reiki therapy session could be just what you are looking for.
"Hi, I’m Heather.
People with whom I have shared Reiki have often commented about how they are able to sleep so much better afterwards and worry a whole lot less. Also that they feel uplifted, have a spring in their step and feel a sense of joy and peace returning to their being"
Reiki helped me to finally be able to sit still. To meditate. To slow down and to go within and begin to understand some of my inner engineering and realise there was so much more to life than what we experience in our day to day, survival-mode, surface living.
In 2011, I found myself going through a very challenging period of life which lead me to book a series of Reiki treatments for myself . I found they really helped me to navigate this tumultuous time. So much so, that I decided to begin training in Usui Reiki in 2012. I kept going, finding it fascinating and honestly, life changing. This lead to my qualifying as master teacher in 2014. Where really, I embarked upon the lifelong journey of mastery in Reiki...
For me, Reiki has been an evolutionary, connective force. Me to my higher-self; my higher-self to The Universe. The Universe of infinite possibility… Reiki helped me to remember that help is always at hand.
What Reiki can offer, varies from person to person, depending on each individual's needs and also their openness to the healing. Sometimes it's a simple as a good night's sleep. Even that can be life-changing for some! Other times, Reiki can help bring shifts to more complex issues.
My aim is to be able to deliver the Rei (universal) Ki (life force) to wherever it needs to flow. If that is to be towards you, then welcome. I invite you to book your session of distance Reiki with me below.
"I've received Reiki from Heather both in person and at a distance and both have had a big impact on me”
“Reiki and Heather helped me to open my eyes to what really mattered, and to gently close them to what didn't”
“I could feel the benefits of Reiki straight away. I felt more grounded, content and mindful”
~ Client Testimonials ~

Georgia, London
Reiki is one of the most calming and beautiful experiences. I've received reiki from Heather both in person and at a distance and both have had a big impact on me. I am an anxious person and a worrier, but reiki has helped me to de-stress during exam periods, sleep well when I'm feeling run down, relax me before important events, and help me feel grounded when I needed it. I also suffer badly with digestive problems, for which medication can't be prescribed, and reiki is one of the only things I have found which can decrease the discomfort and tightness. It feels like I spend my life holding my breath, and reiki allows me to release it!
Martin,York
Having never had reiki I didn't know what to expect, however Heather soon put my mind at rest, literally. It was the most peaceful relaxing experience, I drifted away to who knows where and afterwards felt a great sense of joyful, inner contentment.
Gary,York
For all the unpleasant times that we all have to deal with and carry through our lives, Reiki with Heather helped me to open my eyes to what really mattered, and to gently close them to what didn't. Thank you Heather.
Lynda,York
Reiki with Heather is a wonderful experience. It makes you feel so relaxed.
I often drift off to sleep throughout and it puts a spring in my step afterwards too.
I also find I always have a really good night’s sleep following a treatment.

Sarah, Sheffield
Before Reiki, I found it difficult to meditate, but after receiving my first treatment I was able to remain focused and really feel the energy of the Reiki. I highly recommend Heather as a Reiki practitioner. She is knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about working with Reiki to go for it. It's a life changer.
Nick, York
I can thoroughly recommend Heather's Reiki healing services. The sessions helped me to slow down and focus on relaxation both during and after the sessions. I found myself in such a state of Zen. A++!

FAQs:
-
What is reiki?
‘Rei’ meaning ‘universal’ and ‘Ki’ meaning life force, Reiki is a form of energy healing originating in Japan and founded by Mikao Usui
(15 Aug 1865 – 9 Mar 1926)
It is a complimentary therapy which may assist in healing the body, mind and soul through inviting relaxation, expansion and upliftment to the individual and clearing away unnecessary layers of energetic 'stuff', or 'baggage'.
-
How long is a treatment?
Distance Reiki sessions usually last around 30 minutes. Please make sure you will be undisturbed throughout this time.
-
What will happen during my Reiki treatment?
Prior to your session, you may wish to set an intention for your treatment.
Taking a few deep breaths once you are comfortable, along with a reminding yourself that your session of Reiki is starting now, is a nice way to signal to yourself that your session is about to begin.
-
What will Reiki feel like?
Every experience of Reiki is unique and individual to each recipient and each session. Distance Reiki often feels very similar to in person treatments and this is because Reiki energy is able to transcend time and space.
Some people may not feel much at all, however they may still experience a deeper state of relaxation and the ongoing effects of Reiki in their lives. Others may feel, see and even hear a lot throughout and afterwards too. Emotions may come up during your session and you may even fall asleep. Whether you feel, hear, or see anything at all or not, Reiki energy is intelligent and always flows to where it is needed and does what it needs to do. It really depends on the individual, their receptivity and on what level Reiki is directed to work and what that individual may need to experience at any given time.
-
Do I need to have more than one Reiki session?
The benefits of Reiki can be felt from just one session, however as the effects of reiki treatments are cumulative, choosing to book 3 x Reiki sessions, or more to have in succession, week by week for instance, will help the energy to work with you on a deeper level. Please ask Heather about discounts for multiple distance Reiki sessions.
-
What should I wear?
Wearing clothes that you feel comfortable in and can easily relax in is recommended
-
Can I eat before a treatment?
It is recommended to only eat a light meal / snack around an hour, or so before a treatment. This is because Reiki energy will help your body with any functions it is naturally carrying out, so it would perhaps be a waste to have Reiki kindly helping you to digesting your food! :)
-
What will I feel like afterwards?
You will likely feel very relaxed and may sleep extra well that night after your treatment. You may even feel more energised than usual. You will likely be thirstier than usual afterwards and it is recommended that you increase your fluid / water intake after a treatment. This is to help your body flush through and help release anything unnecessary from your system.
-
Are there any contraindications?
Reiki is generally considered safe with no known contraindications. It is a non-invasive and gentle healing practice that promotes well-being. While there are no absolute contraindications, your booking form and free consultation will help me to ascertain any issues that may need further discussion, or if medical attention would be more beneficial for you.
-
Will I need to drink water?
Yes. It's a good idea to have some water nearby during your session.
-
Do I need anything else with me?
You may wish to have soft instrumental music gently playing. If this is on your phone, please enable do not disturb mode.
You may find emotions come up for release, so having some tissues nearby might be helpful.
