What is Reiki & Therapeutic Touch?
Reiki is an ancient Tibetan form of healing involving laying on of hands or palm healing. Reiki therapists gently place hands over or on specific parts of the body to channel energy to boost the life force (also known as “Chi”) of the client, helping you to experience greater health, relaxtion and a feeling of harmony. Therapeutic Touch is also a traditional healing form of laying of hands above specific parts of the body to channel energy. Developed and studied scientifically by Delores Krieger, a nursing professor and practitioner, she demonstrated its benefits in the treatment of stress reduction, pain relief and healing of injuries. With both energy therapies, practitioners evaluate the client’s energy field and attempt to restore harmony and balance to weakened, injured or blocked areas to clear the way to health and well-being.
