Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese word which means “universal life energy”. It is used to describe a healing technique by which this energy is channelled through an attuned practitioner into the body of the patient where it activates the body’s ability to heal itself. It is a safe, natural and holistic way of treating many acute and chronic conditions to bring about wellbeing at the level of body, mind and spirit
Barbara Jones and Heather Pennock have been attuned to second degree Reiki. At Oakwood we often use Reiki alongside out other therapies but it is available as a standalone treatment for our patients and also the people they bring along with them. Sessions can be quite lengthy, particularly for people, so if there is not time during the practice day we may offer alternative times or practitioners. For animals we like to allow at least 40 - 60 minutes although often they will indicate that they have received sufficient before this
This form of therapy is very relaxing for patient and client as well.
