Reiki is an ancient healing system redeveloped in Japan in the late 19th century by Dr.Mikao Usui. It translates as Universal (Rei) Life Force, Life Energy (Ki). It is this energy or Ki, the energy found in all matter and all beings, that is directed through the practitioner’s hands to produce healing effects, in a safe and non-intrusive way. It is gentle yet powerful without using pressure, manipulation or massage; it provides the recipient with whatever energy he or she needs to aid recovery – or simply to promote harmony in mind, body and spirit, helping recharge, realign, and rebalance their energy.
Please note that there are no religious connotations within Reiki.
What happens during a treatment?
The session can last up to one hour. Reiki treatments are received fully clothed. The practitioner will place their hands on different parts of the body or just above it, to direct the healing energy to all the vital organs. The whole body is treated, with emphasis on specific problem areas.
What are the benefits of Reiki Healing?
Reiki can be very effective for treating pain, depression, anxiety and emotional problems. After a Reiki healing session, a feeling of deep relaxation and peace is commonly experienced. It can also have an immediate effect in energy levels, immune response and pain relief. Because it is gentle and non-invasive, it can be used on people of any age and medical condition and alongside any other type of therapy; this is why Reiki is invaluable in particular in the improvement of the quality of life and the ability to cope in sufferers of chronic and terminal diseases. You do not need to feel unwell to receive this treatment, however, as it is a means of maintaining harmony within the whole body.

Sofia Chaintouti
Reiki
Sofia completed her training in Nepal, India, and Greece. Reiki changed the way she views the world; it has helped her work through her own wounds and has been her greatest ally during difficult times. She rarely skips her daily practice, believing that helping herself first gives her the capacity to truly support others.
She believes that self-healing abilities exist in every human being, lying dormant within us all. Reiki is one of the treatments that supports and awakens the body’ss innate healing capacity, helping the mind and body to relax, ease stress and anxiety.
It can support the body as a gentle complementary practice alongside conventional care during times of illness, discomfort, or pain. Many people find that regular sessions leave them feeling calmer, lighter, and more grounded in daily life. It can be offered in-person and by distance.
Sound Healing
Sofia’s introduction to sound healing began with a group sound bath in the UK, an experience she found deeply relaxing and quietly transformative. She went on to train in Tibetan singing bowl therapy in Kathmandu, Nepal, with Master Shree Krishna Shahi, a third- generation sound healer, before continuing her practice with teachers in India and, more recently, studying sound instrument tuning in Germany for a few weeks.
Using Himalayan singing bowls, small bells, a drum, a metallophone and other instrument, Sofia guides clients through sound journeys – both in small group settings and one-to-one sessions — where the resonant tones and vibrations are placed on and around the body to encourage deep relaxation and a meditative state.
Sound healing can help calm the nervous system, ease tension, and support a sense of inner stillness that’s often hard to reach in daily life. Many people find that a session leaves them feeling deeply rested and mentally clearer. It is a gentle, non-invasive way to unwind body and mind together.
