Reiki: Energy Healing, Embodiment & Modern Shamanic Practice
A Grounded, Embodied Approach to Reiki Healing and Teaching
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of energy healing that supports balance, relaxation, and wellbeing across the physical, emotional, and energetic system.
In my work, Reiki is not a standalone technique. It is part of a wider integrated healing approach that includes modern shamanic awareness, embodied presence, crystal work, and sound-based energetic support.
Unlike other modalities I offer, such as the Quantum Magnetic Analyser (QMA) or Cymatherapy frequency sessions, Reiki sessions are more intuitive, embodied, and rhythm-based, often incorporating shamanic hand drumming to support grounding, release, and nervous system regulation.
This creates a deeply human, sensory, and relational healing experience.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice based on the principle of universal life force energy (Ki).
The word Reiki comes from:
Rei – universal wisdom or spiritual intelligence
Ki – life force energy
During a Reiki session, energy is gently channelled through the practitioner using light touch or hands held just above the body. This supports relaxation and allows the body’s natural systems to settle and rebalance.
Many people experience Reiki as:
- deeply calming
- grounding
- emotionally soothing
- supportive during stress or transition
- helpful for nervous system regulation
There is no fixed experience. Your system responds in the way it needs in that moment.
My Approach: Reiki as an Embodied Shamanic Practice
My approach to Reiki is grounded, intuitive, and deeply embodied.
Rather than following a rigid method, I work with Reiki as part of a living energetic practice that responds to what is present in your body, emotions, and energy system.
A key part of my Reiki sessions is the integration of modern shamanic hand drumming.
The drum is used intentionally and intuitively to support:
- grounding into the body
- nervous system regulation
- energetic release and clearing
- emotional processing
- deepening altered states of relaxation
- reconnection to inner rhythm and safety
The rhythm of the drum is not performance-based. It is responsive, gentle, and guided by what your system appears to need.
Alongside Reiki and drumming, I also work with:
- embodied awareness and presence
- emotional and energetic attunement
- intuitive sensing
- subtle energetic clearing
- supportive grounding practices
This creates a space that is both safe and deeply restorative, without overwhelming the system.
How Reiki Sessions Work
Reiki sessions are calm, supportive, and tailored to your needs in the moment.
- Initial Conversation
We begin by exploring how you are feeling physically, emotionally, and energetically, and what support you are seeking.
- Reiki Healing Session
You lie fully clothed in a comfortable space while Reiki energy is gently channelled through light touch or hands held above the body.
During the session, I may also incorporate shamanic hand drumming, used intuitively to support grounding, release, and nervous system regulation.
This combination of stillness (Reiki) and rhythm (drumming) can support both deep relaxation and gentle energetic movement.
- Integration & Reflection
After the session, we take time to reflect on your experience and any insights, sensations, or emotional shifts that may have arisen.
- Integrated Energy Work
While Reiki is the core of this offering, sessions may also include complementary approaches depending on your needs:
Shamanic Hand Drumming
Used to support:
- grounding
- nervous system regulation
- emotional release
- energetic movement and flow
- reconnection to the body
Crystals may be used to support:
- grounding
- emotional balance
- energetic stability
- chakra alignment
- deep rest
Unlike QMA or Cymatherapy sessions, Reiki is more fluid and intuitive, responding moment-to-moment rather than following structured protocols or programmed frequencies.
What Might Reiki Support?
Reiki may support people experiencing:
- stress and nervous system overload
- emotional overwhelm or burnout
- fatigue or energetic depletion
- anxiety or difficulty relaxing
- grief, loss, or emotional transition
- feeling disconnected from self
- sensitivity or energetic overwhelm
- need for grounding and inner calm
- general wellbeing and self-care
Reiki does not “fix” you.
It supports your system in returning to balance, presence, and regulation.

This is not about hierarchy.
