Is Reiki recognised by doctors?

Reiki is a form of healing and healing is recognised by the NHS as a complementary therapy. Healers have been employed by the Leeds Hospital Oncology Unit and the London UCH Haematology Unit for a number of years.

One of the healers at London UCH, Angie Buxton-King has her own website and has written a book, “The NHS Healer: How My Son’s Life Inspired a Healing Journey” about her experiences.  Her book is available from Amazon.

  • How can Reiki help me?

    The nature of Reiki means that it can be beneficial in treating a wide range of conditions.  I have found particular success in helping clients cope with anxiety, stressful periods in their lives, feeling drained and tired all the time, and to speed up recovery after illness, operations or injuries.  It is important to note that for a successful Reiki treatment the client does not need to believe in Reiki or the concept of auras and life force energy.  In addition, Reiki is compatible with all religious beliefs.

  • What can I expect from a Reiki treatment?

    A Reiki treatment session lasts one hour and the fully clothed client lies on a massage table. The Reiki practitioner then holds her hands above the clients body or gently lays her hands on the clients body.  The Reiki energy is automatically absorbed into the clients body which has a greatly beneficial effect.  There is no standard experience of a Reiki treatment, but most of my clients find it deeply relaxing and they feel more peaceful afterwards. When a client feels tired at the onset of a treatment they often feel more invigorated afterwards.  During a treatment clients routinely report sensations of heat, coldness or tingling in their bodies.  Some clients see flashes of colour, others are reminded of previous experiences as these are gently released, yet others feel nothing.   This does not mean Reiki was not working, it means that it was working in a gentle manner.
