Reiki in Highams Park

Reiki is a gentle Japanese practice in which the practitioner places their hands lightly on, or just above, the body. You remain fully clothed, and most people find it a calm and deeply relaxing experience.

At Avenue3 Wellness, Reiki is offered by Zannah Merricks, who has over 20 years’ experience as a Reiki practitioner and has been a qualified massage therapist since 2014. She also offers Reiki massage, combining therapeutic touch with Reiki in one session. See also our massage therapy page.

Reiki is also offered by Yasmine Edwards, an experienced reflexologist and Reiki practitioner. See also our reflexology page.

Who it may suit

Reiki may suit you if you are looking for time to rest and switch off, or would like a very gentle treatment with no manipulation or pressure. Many people use it simply as a way to relax.

What to expect

Your practitioner will start by asking about your health and what you would like from the session. You then lie down, fully clothed, while they place their hands lightly on or just above the body in a series of positions. Many people simply rest; some notice warmth or tingling, and others feel nothing in particular.

Questions

Do I need to undress? No. Reiki is received fully clothed. If you choose Reiki massage, Zannah will explain what is involved beforehand.

Can I combine Reiki with massage? Yes. Zannah offers Reiki massage, which brings the two together in one session.

Is Reiki a medical treatment? No. Reiki is a complementary practice used for relaxation. It is not a substitute for medical care, so please keep seeing your GP about any health concerns.
