Reiki is used worldwide as a spiritual-energetic healing method. During a treatment, a space is created in which the energy of Reiki is clearly present. This happens through gentle touch, or even without touch. This energy reminds the client of his/her/their spiritual essence and the enormous self-healing capacity which he/she/they naturally possess(es). Although the underlying mechanism of Reiki cannot be fully scientifically explained yet, its effects can be clearly felt (and measured). Even people who are not that familiar with terms as energy and spirituality, experience Reiki as clearly observable and beneficial. Positive treatment results contribute to the growing application of and research into Reiki as a complementary therapy, also in a medical contexts.

Due to the subtle nature of its energy, Reiki is a gentle treatment method. As a practitioner, I place my hands gently on or above the body. I work primarily in the subtle energetic body, and to a lesser extent on the physical body. By intuitively placing the hands on locations that need it most, your overall energetic vibration is increased.

Working in the energetic body has the advantage that it influences all layers of the recipient’s body: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. This is becaus the energetic body forms the bridge between all these layers. A particular symptom that manifests in one of these layers does not necessarily have its origin in that particular layer. Because Reiki increases the overall energetic frequency, its energy works at the level where it is needed most. This way, healing does not take place superficially, but originates from the core.

A Reiki treatment creates an ideal healing space that allows your self-healing abilities to do their work. The effects of a treatment are therefore always personal and often differ per treatment. Even though as a practitioner I have no influence on what the outcome will be, the results of a treatment can regularly be called exceptional. When the self-healing potential within you awakens, the possibilities for healing – in the broadest sense of the word – are enormous.

Reiki has enormous potential to transform complaints and symptoms. Nevertheless,experiencing wholeness is not necessarily the same as being 100% symptom-free, fortunately. It rather has to do with how you relate to what is manifesting in your life. The sense of wholeness emerges from connection with your deeper Self, your spiritual essence. Experiencing that you are not merely a material being, but also and especially a Soul – a spiritual consciousness – brings about an enormous feeling of liberation and recognizing truth. This is the true potential of Reiki and the true source of healing: realizing who you truly are and relating to everything you experience from a greater consciousness.

As Reiki operates on the subtle energetic level, a treatment can be done with or without physical contact between the practitioner and recipient. An advantage of an in-person treatment is the additional layer of physical touch. An advantage of a distant treatment is that you can enjoy its beneficial effects while being in your familiar environment, anywhere in the world. One is not better than the other, each has its own unqiue potential. The fact that there is no physical contact during a distant treatment, does not in any way limit the experiences you may have during a treatment. Distant treatments take place via online video call.
