Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative therapy called energy healing, the word Reiki meaning, ‘life force energy’. As we go through life our bodies energy system can become blocked affecting our well-being on a spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical level. Reiki is a beautiful and unique treatment with so many benefits for everyone, at all life stages, including all stages of pregnancy, from conception through to supporting postnatal recovery.

No harm can come from Reiki, it’s a pure healing full of love and light. Babies are the purest souls… and love it. It strengthens the energetic bond and spiritual connection between mother and baby.  

Over the years Kate has supported lots of women to stay strong throughout their pregnancy journey, as a PT specialising in pre and postnatal exercise. She’s excited to be able to support women on an emotional / energy level with Reiki too.

Creating a life is a gift. All souls are precious, including those that don’t make it to full term or stay on earth ❤  

Pregnancy is a full-on whirlwind ride… one that very often isn’t a straightforward / easy road. A journey that can be highly emotional, physically and mentally challenging, completely life changing. It’s normal and to be expected to feel all the emotions… stress, anxiety, overwhelm, exhaustion, love, joy, happiness… on the hour, every hour!

Reiki is a reset, release and re-balancing of your energy.  

Benefits of Reiki for a pregnancy journey…

• Eases physical discomforts, the aches and strains associated with pregnancy.
• Promotes relaxation, creating calm.
• Supports emotional well-being, balancing energy.
• Supports mental well-being, easing stress and anxiety.
• Strengthens the bond and connection between mother and baby – during sessions babies can wriggle and move around as the energy flows through the mother’s body/chakras.
• Supports recovery from birth – birth can be a traumatic experience.
• Supports trauma and healing from pregnancy and baby loss – this is one of the reasons why Kate got into Reiki in the first place. She has tried lots of different holistic healing therapies as part of her own journey. Including having womb healing massage / Reiki with a lovely local lady called Joanne. Here’s a link to her business page for info.

Reiki can be of great benefit for partners going through the journey too! Most definitely an emotional rollercoaster for them too.

About the session…

Whilst pregnant it’s advised against lying flat back, so the Reiki bed is set on a slight incline/raise for the session. It can also be done in seated too, if this would be your preference.

If you’re pregnant do drop Kate a message to let her know before or after booking.
