What is Reiki?
Reiki is love, love is wholeness, wholeness is well-being, well-being is freedom - Dr. Mikau Usui Sensi
Reiki is energy medicine. Developed, in Japan, in the early 19th century, by Dr. Mikau Usui for stress reduction, relaxation, enlightenment and healing. It is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through all of us, and is what causes us to be alive. If one's life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if our life force is is high, then we are more capable of being/feeling happy, healthy and calm.
Reiki safely facilitates the healing of energetic blockages and pollutions that manifest in your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies’. By healing these energetic blockages, Reiki helps increase the vibration of our personal energetics. Increasing your personal energetics allows for you to naturally gravitate towards things and people that are good for you, well at the same time, helping you move away from things and people that are draining, abusive and/or toxic.
Why book a Reiki session?
In today’s world we are continuously faced with an over stimulated culture and lifestyle. This can lead many of us to feel overly stressed, drained, anxious, fearful and tired due to our lack of energy to keep up with the hamster wheel.
Likewise we often may feel “stuck” in our professions, relationships, or by emotions brought on from deep trauma or loss.
A series of Reiki sessions offers the release from these energetic pollutions and patterns that have been weighing you down.
The experience of a Reiki session will allow you to empty your mind, calm your nervous system, and experience a deep sense of peace; creating greater sustained joy in your daily life. All you have to do is be open to receiving the experience, lie down and let the magic happen.

Session Experience
A typical Reiki session will last about an hour and takes place remotely in a place that you feel comfortable.
The sessions are generally deeply relaxing, often bringing clients into the space between waking and sleeping where they can experience dream like visions, and feelings of warmth.
After a Reiki session there is a feeling of weightlessness, release and regeneration.
It is recommended after a Reiki session to rest and relax, even if it is only for a few moments, before stepping back into your busy life. It is also recommended to drink plenty of water after treatment to help support the body in its’ healing process.
How many Reiki sessions will I require?
Each person is different and requires different levels of care. It all depends on how well your energetics are functioning, your stress levels and your decided level of ideal balance. For a full cycle of healing 7-11 sessions are recommended, 3 - 5 sessions can provide a good container of clearing. Having said this, often it may take many months of regular care to get your energetic system, clear, open and running before moving to the average biweekly or monthly tune up.
If your lifestyle is high paced, and overly stimulated with many daily interactions, it is recommended once your energy system is in flow to book in biweekly, or monthly to recharge, rebalance and recentre your energy.
What is a Healing Cycle?
A Healing Cycle will sometimes be recommend by Ashley if she senses a lot of foreign energy and/or dense energetic pollution held in someone’s energetic system. A Healing Cycle is a container that is created to clear and heal unwanted energies. This Healing Cycle container is determined by the number of sessions in the Cycle:
The different numbers represent different clearing processes and their power to to clear the unwanted energy.
Three Clearings, is the basic clearing, targeting the past present and future elements surrounding this unwanted energy, and although it is “basic”, this Clearing Cycle can create deep transformation.
Four Clearings, allows for a basic clearing to take place, along with one additional healing that really supports grounding of this clearing into your energetic blueprint.
Five Clearings, allows for for all of the above, along with the support for greater positive change to unfold moving forward in your life.
Six Clearings, allows for all of the above, as well as for greater harmony to be grounded into your life and reality moving forward.
Seven Clearings, allows for all of the above, along with deeper higher vibrational healing life force energy to be grounded and supported into your life moving forward.
Eight Clearings, allows for all of the above, as well as greater abundance and prosperity to manifest into your reality.
Nine Clearings, allows for all of the above, along with greater energetic expansion of your personal life force energy.
Eleven Clearings, allows for all of the above, along with more mastery to manifest into your day to day life and reality. It is also a master number of balance and harmony and can really close loops on epigenetic or intense trauma held within your energetic system.
Please note that once you choose the clearing Healing Cycle of your choice you cannot add on additional healings. For instance you start with a clearing of 3 and decide half way through you would like to make it a clearing of 5, and you wish to add two more healings to your Healing Cycle, this is not possible as it is a clearing cycle the cycle must be decided upon before the healing begins. If you are unsure of the Healing Cycle that would be the best for you; Ashley is more than happy to consult with you to find the Healing Cycle that feels best for you.
How can Reiki support my Craniosacral System?
Reiki can tune into the physical body energetically, supporting the craniosacral system. Likewise, often physical dysfunctions and stress patterns found in the body have an emotional component to them. Reiki works wonders on clearing and healing the emotional body; healing the emotional body, ripples down into the physical body, subsequently supporting the release of stress and/or trauma patterns.
With Craniosacral work it is your own body’s inner wisdom doing the heavy lifting. Sometimes we are so drained of our life force battery that the body does not have the energy to release or unwind the stress/trauma patterns held in the craniosacral system. Often Ashley will recommend Reiki, in order to charge your life force battery, and then recommend diving into the Craniosacral work.
