Reiki with Janine

Stillness you can feel.

I'm a certified Reiki Master Teacher, offering 1:1 treatments, reiki coaching, and attunements for those who want to bring this gentle practice into their own lives — and their families'.

What is reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a gentle Japanese practice for deep rest and rebalancing. The word combines rei — often translated as universal or spiritual — and ki, the life energy that flows through all living things.

During a session you simply lie down or sit, fully clothed, while the practitioner rests their hands lightly on — or just above — your body. There's no massage, no pressure and nothing to do. Most people feel warmth, a sense of ease, or simply a very deep quiet. Reiki works with the body's own rest-and-restore response, giving your nervous system the pause it rarely gets in a busy life.

Reiki is a complementary practice — it works beautifully alongside, never instead of, medical or psychological care.

Benefits people often notice

  • Deep relaxation

    Many describe the stillness after a session as deeper than a good night's sleep — a genuine reset for body and mind.

  • A calmer nervous system

    Reiki invites the body out of fight-or-flight, easing the constant hum of stress that busy lives build up.

  • Better sleep

    People often report falling asleep more easily and waking feeling more rested in the days after a session.

  • Eased physical tension

    Held tightness in the jaw, shoulders, chest and stomach often softens as the body lets go.

  • Emotional steadiness

    Space to process a season of change — many leave feeling clearer, lighter and more themselves.

  • A grounded, centred feeling

    A restored sense of connection to yourself, which many people carry into the rest of their week.

Reiki is experienced differently by everyone, and results vary from person to person. The benefits above are commonly reported but not guaranteed.

Ways to work together

1:1 Reiki treatments

A quiet hour, just for you. Hands-on (or hands-above, your choice) energy work to settle the nervous system, ease held tension, and restore a sense of calm. No experience needed — you simply lie down, fully clothed, and rest.

Reiki Level 1 attunement

Learn to give reiki to yourself and loved ones. Level 1 opens the channel and teaches hand positions, self-practice, and the foundations of energy awareness. Ideal if you want a daily grounding practice of your own.

Reiki Level 2 attunement

Deepen your practice with the reiki symbols, distance healing, and practitioner-level techniques. For those who have completed Level 1 and feel called to go further — personally or professionally.

Parent & child (13+) Level 1 attunement

Learn reiki together. A shared Level 1 attunement for a parent and child aged 13 or over — a gentle, practical toolkit you can both use at home for calm, sleep, and connection.

Reiki coaching

Ongoing one-to-one support that pairs regular reiki with conversation and coaching — space to untangle stress, burnout, or a season of change, while building your own grounding practice between sessions. Flexible to fit around a busy life, and grounded in Henley-trained executive coaching.

Reiki at your workplace

I bring reiki to you — a quiet treatment corner at your office, wellbeing day, offsite or conference. Bespoke to your workplace: a single day of 20- or 30-minute sessions for your team, a regular monthly visit, or something shaped entirely around your people. No kit, no fuss — just a door, a chair and a pause in the working day.

Sessions and attunements are arranged individually so we can find a time and setting that suits you. Register your interest below and I'll be in touch personally.

What the research says

Research into reiki is still developing. Some studies suggest possible benefits, particularly for relaxation, anxiety, pain and quality of life, but results vary and should be interpreted with care.

Anxiety meta-analysis

A 2024 meta-analysis of studies involving 824 adults found reiki was associated with lower self-reported anxiety than comparison conditions. The studies varied considerably in quality, participants and control methods, and did not establish long-term effects.

Read Guo et al. (2024)

Review of pain and anxiety trials

A 2014 review of seven randomised trials found generally positive associations between reiki and reduced pain and anxiety scores. The trials were small and used different comparison groups and measurements, limiting firm conclusions.

Read Thrane & Cohen (2014)

Quality of life meta-analysis

A 2025 meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials, involving 661 participants, found a small improvement in quality of life among people who received reiki. The result was only just statistically significant, so further high-quality research is needed.

Read Liu et al. (2025)

Review of placebo-controlled studies

A 2017 review considered 13 placebo-controlled studies and reported that 8 found reiki more effective than sham reiki. The studies were small and varied, and the review was not a formal systematic review, so its conclusions are best treated as encouraging rather than definitive.

Read McManus (2017)

Awareness and use in Australia

A 2026 Australian survey explored awareness and use of reiki among health professionals and the wider community. It found high awareness among its 457 respondents but limited knowledge of the research. As a self-selected survey, it describes attitudes and use — not whether reiki is effective.

Read Zadro & Stapleton (2026)

These studies do not show that reiki cures or treats any specific condition. Reiki is offered as a complementary wellbeing practice and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, treatment or mental health support.
