As described by the International Center for Reiki Training, Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". In other words, Reiki is a "spiritually guided life force energy."

Emotional Freedom Technique, otherwise known as ‘tapping’ is a mind-body technique that combines modern psychology and meridians of ancient Chinese medicine. It was originally used in the West for releasing trauma that creates cellular imprints in the body, and assists in clearing emotional blockages through contact with energetic meridians. It is now effectively used for countless concerns in health and mental health.

If you are looking for a relaxing bodywork session that can restore and invigorate, while bringing up and clearing tension and worry, Emotional Freedom Technique is a great choice.

Energy healing is a holistic practice which believes that the human energy field extends beyond the body and skin. When the flow of this energy is obstructed or imbalanced, it results in ailments and health problems. The purpose of energy healing massage is to restore the balance of the energy field and facilitate healing of the body and mind. It is seen as a natural process of restoring the body, spirit and mind to release tensions in a calming way.

During an energy healing-session, the practitioner may use essential oils, which add an olfactory & aromatherapy layer to the energetic experience.
