Reiki
Your physical body is alive because of the ‘life force energy’ that is flowing through it. If your life force is low or blocked, you are more likely to become ill, but if it is high and free flowing, you can more easily maintain health and a feeling of well being.
One thing that disrupts and weakens the flow of life force energy is stress. Stress is often caused by conflicting thoughts and feelings of fear, worry, doubt, anger, and anxiety that become lodged in one’s subtle energy system. Medical research has determined that continual stress can block the body’s natural ability to repair, regenerate and protect itself.
Reiki can help you relieve that stress!
The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75%-95% of all visits to doctors are due to the reaction of stress. The effects of unreleased stress range from minor aches to major health concerns, such as heart disease, digestive disorders, respiratory and skin problems.
Regular Reiki treatments can help reduce stress or help to remove it completely by boosting your immune system to an optimum healthy state and balancing your ‘life force energy’.

Reflexology
Reflexology is a natural, non-invasive healing art based on the principle that there are reflexes in the feet, that correspond to every body part. There is virtually a mini map of the body on the feet. The toes represent the head,the ball of the foot is the chest,the soft part of the foot is the internal organs and the heel of the foot is the pelvic area.
By working the reflexes using specific pressure techniques, Reflexology helps promote natural functioning of the body system and allows it to heal itself. Reflexology relieves stress and tension, improves circulation and helps balance the physical, mental and emotional aspects of the whole person.
