Most frequently asked questions.

Is this some Eastern healing?

Reiki is universal. It is no more an “Eastern” system of healing than rice is an Eastern food. Reiki is healing with touch — an approach that has been used around the world for millennia — and still is. The discoverer (or re-discoverer) of Reiki was Dr. Mikao Usui, head of the Christian school in Kyoto, Japan in the mid-Nineteenth Century. The gift of Reiki healing that Dr. Usui left us is not dependent on any religious affiliation or belief and is used with equal potency by believers and nonbelievers of all sorts.

Is Reiki like massage?

In a lot of ways the soothing effects of Reiki for relieving tension and stress remind people of the benefits of massage, but the two are quite different.
