Reiki is a very gentle, one hour clothed treatment involving chakra balancing, energy cleansing and laying on of hands, giving the client the time and space to heal. This treatment can help shift physical and emotional barriers to healing, and by its gentle nature, is suitable for treating all mild and chronic illnesses.
Receiving Reiki can feel like nothing is happening, or it may feel like heat, cold, tingling, or butterflies. Quite often the client will fall asleep or into a deep state of relaxation during the treatment. After the treatment, it is recommended to relax, drink lots of water, and you may sleep very deeply that night.
You may ask for a combined treatment of Reiki and Reflexology.
Reiki is a healing technique that has been around for 1000s of years. This ancient eastern practise was brought to the West by Dr Mikao Usui, in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Dr Usui’s Reiki mantra (translated):
Just for today…
…do not anger, do not worry, be humble, be honest in your work, be compassionate to yourself and to others.

Reflexology
Reflexology applies pressure to points or zones on the feet (also sometimes hands and ears). Alexandra specialises in Reflexology predominantly of the feet, using gentle pressure and incorporating Reiki and chakra balancing on request. You may also request specific areas to be worked on, or a general ‘MOT’.
The one hour treatment can be deeply relaxing and clients will often fall asleep during the treatment. During this deep relaxation state, deep healing can occur.
It can be particularly beneficial for stress related or aggravated conditions, hormone balancing, chronic illness and pain. Or general body maintenance and wellbeing.
Because every client is different, Alexandra works in a very gentle way, listening with her hands and asking the body what it needs at that moment in order to heal, and allowing the space for that to happen.
As Alexandra is also an attuned Reiki Master, some Reiki may well come through, enhancing to the healing nature of the treatment.
This standard Reflexology treatment is not suitable during pregnancy.
