Reiki is a gentle form of energy healing that works with the body’s energy field to promote relaxation, emotional release, and overall wellbeing. Originating in Japan, Reiki involves the practitioner becoming a channel for universal life force energy — guiding it through the hands, either placed gently on or just above the body.
It’s not massage. It’s not religious. It’s simply energy — flowing to where it’s needed most.
Many people seek Reiki when they’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or physically drained — but the benefits go far beyond just stress relief. Reiki has been shown to support:
Because Reiki works holistically, its effects are often felt on physical, emotional, and energetic levels — even when words can’t quite explain what’s happening. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about helping your energy system remember how to flow freely again.
My Reiki journey began during a transformational period in my life. After discovering the power of breathwork and personal development, I met Miriam — a powerful coach and Reiki Master based in Sydney — and something about her energy immediately called me in. I trained with her in two immersive weekend retreats in 2019, where we combined breathwork, card pulls, hands-on Reiki, and deep spiritual reflection.
In 2025, I completed my Reiki Master training here in Auckland with Olivia, following an inner calling that I was ready to deepen my practice.
Today, my Reiki sessions are gentle, intuitive, and holistic. I often blend energy work with breath awareness, sound bowls, crystal healing, and chakra scans using a pendulum. I tune into your energy before you even arrive — and the session unfolds from there.
I believe Reiki helps uncover the things we can’t always see or explain. It works in the background, shifting energy, releasing blocks, and reconnecting you to yourself.
When you arrive at my studio in Stonefields, we’ll begin with a short conversation about where you’re at — emotionally, physically, energetically. I use this to tune into your system, combined with what I feel intuitively before and during the session.
You’ll then lie down fully clothed on a comfortable setup, with soft music playing in the background. I may scan your chakras with a pendulum and begin with hands-on or hands-above energy work, depending on your preference. I typically include sound bowls at the end to deepen the release and integration.
The session is around 60 minutes and includes:
Every session is unique — because every person is.
While I am trained in distance Reiki and have supported clients remotely, there’s something undeniably powerful about receiving Reiki in person.
Energy travels differently when we’re in the same space. I can read your system more clearly, tailor the session in real-time, and incorporate tools like sound bowls that simply don’t translate through a screen. Clients often say they feel held, grounded, and reset the moment they step into my studio.
My home-based space in Stonefields was intentionally created to support deep energetic healing — and for many, it becomes a sanctuary of peace and reconnection.
One of my most memorable clients, Glennis, came to me after a life-changing accident that left her withdrawn and fearful. Once vibrant and social, she had become anxious and isolated.
After her first Reiki session, she went home and cried — the first emotional release she’d felt in years.
By the second session, her energy was moving more freely.
By the third, she told me she felt a pep in her step. She was finally booking appointments, walking her dogs again, and reconnecting with life.
This is the power of subtle energy healing: it often begins in the unseen and unfolds as confidence, joy, and self-trust returning to the body.
In a world full of constant stimulation and emotional overload, Reiki offers something we rarely give ourselves — quiet, rest, and energetic recalibration.
It’s not a replacement for medical treatment or talk therapy — but a complementary approach that supports emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and deep energetic shifts.
Reiki helps you come back to your centre, especially when you feel like you’ve lost yourself.
I offer Reiki as a:
I typically recommend a minimum of 3–4 sessions to begin noticing deeper shifts, though each person’s experience is completely unique. You can choose what feels right for you.

Is Reiki religious?
No. Reiki is a spiritual practice, not a religious one. It connects with a universal life force energy — often interpreted as a higher power, divine energy, or spiritual guidance. You don’t need to subscribe to any specific belief system to receive Reiki.
Can Reiki work if I don’t believe in it?
Skepticism is welcome — as long as you’re open. You don’t need to understand how Reiki works, but it helps if you’re willing to try. One of my clients walked in saying, “Good luck fixing me.” She left feeling emotional release and life-shifting changes. You just need to be open enough to receive.
Can anyone receive Reiki?
Absolutely. Reiki is for everyone — regardless of age, background, or belief. Even pets, plants, and food can receive Reiki energy. It’s gentle, non-invasive, and universally supportive.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, off-balance, or simply in need of some deep, soul-level support — Reiki might be exactly what you’ve been searching for.
You don’t have to carry it all on your own.
Let’s reconnect you with your own energy, gently and powerfully — one breath, one session, one shift at a time.
