SUMMARY:Reiki for Family Carers
DESCRIPTION:Join Lucy for a gentle\, relaxing complementary therapy of Reiki. \n\n\nReiki is a gentle\, relaxing complementary therapy. During a treatment\, you remain fully clothed and can simply settle in and take some time for yourself. The practioner usually uses gentle hand placements on the head\, neck and feet\, while in other areas my hands are held just above or to the sides of the body. If you would prefer a treatment without physical contact\, that is absolutely fine too. She likes to create a soothing atmosphere with gentle background music\, helping you to feel comfortable and at ease. There is nothing you need to do and no previous experience is needed. \n\n\n\nEveryone experiences Reiki differently. You may simply enjoy a feeling of relaxation\, while some people notice warmth\, a gentle tingling sensation or a feeling of being very peaceful. There is no right or wrong way to experience a treatment. \n\n\n\nCome with an open mind and see where the therapy takes you. \n\n\n\nThis is a private session and will last 40 minutes\, please only book 1 session to allow others to experience Reiki. \n\n\n\nAvailable times are 10.00am-10.40am\, 11.00am-11.40am\, 12.30pm-1.10pm and 1.30pm-2.10pm. \n\n\n\n\nBOOK YOUR SESSION HERE
