A Reiki healing is a calm, gentle and non-invasive experience designed to support relaxation and overall wellbeing.

During your session, you will lie fully clothed on a treatment table in a comfortable and peaceful environment. Alyssa gently works with energy using light hand placement either just above or lightly on the body. There is no massage, pressure, or manipulation of muscles involved.

Most clients experience a deep sense of relaxation, warmth, or calmness during the session, and some may feel subtle sensations as the body begins to unwind and rebalance. Others simply feel rested and peaceful.

Each session is unique, and you are encouraged to simply relax and allow the experience to unfold naturally.

A typical Reiki healing lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, but it can vary depending on the practitioner and the client's needs.

No, you do not need to undress for a Reiki session. You will remain fully clothed. You will be asked to remove your shoes.

For comfort, many people prefer to remove any bulky clothing such. as jackets and belts, watches and larger jewellry

No, you do not need to believe in Reiki for it to work. The energy will still flow through you and promote healing regardless of your beliefs.

A great way to prepare is to be open to opportunities with no expectations.

Wear comfortable clothing, drink water before and after your session, and allow yourself time to relax.

A Reiki healing is a gentle energy healing treatment where you are physically present with your Reiki practitioner. During the session, you can relax in a calm, comfortable space while Reiki energy is channelled to support relaxation, balance, and overall wellbeing.

A Distant Reiki healing allows Reiki healing to be offered when you are not physically in the same location as the practitioner. Also known as remote Reiki healing, this type of session allows you to receive Reiki energy from the comfort of your own home or another private space.

Reiki is not limited by physical distance, and many clients enjoy the convenience of a remote session while still experiencing the calming and balancing benefits of energy healing.

Both in-person and distant Reiki sessions are designed to encourage deep relaxation, support emotional wellbeing, and help restore a sense of balance, peace, and calm.

Relaxation Therapeutic Massage is designed to calm the mind, soothe the body and support overall wellbeing. It uses gentle to moderate pressure and flowing massage techniques to allow the body to feel safe, help reduce stress, ease everyday muscle tension, promote circulation and create a deep sense of relaxation.

Remedial Massage is a more targeted treatment that focuses on specific areas of muscle tension, discomfort or restricted movement. It uses techniques such as deeper pressure, trigger point work and focused muscle treatment to help address muscular tightness and support recovery.

Which massage is right for me?
If you are looking to unwind, reduce stress and enjoy a calming experience, a relaxation massage may be the perfect choice. If you have specific areas of tension, stiffness or ongoing muscular concerns, a remedial style approach may be more suitable.

Yes! and this is a very common and effective approach.

A therapeutic relaxation massage can absolutely include deeper pressure or deep tissue techniques, as long as the treatment is tailored to the client and guided by their comfort level.

In practice, a relaxation massage with deeper work usually involves starting with gentle, flowing strokes to calm the nervous system and encourage relaxation. As the body begins to unwind, firmer pressure may be applied to areas of tension such as the neck, shoulders or back where needed. Deeper techniques are only used selectively, rather than throughout the entire treatment, and the session is always adjusted to suit individual comfort. The massage typically finishes with lighter, soothing movements to leave the body feeling relaxed and balanced.

This approach is best described as a therapeutic relaxation massage with the option of deeper pressure, rather than a full clinical deep tissue treatment. It allows the experience to remain calming and restorative while still addressing areas of muscular tightness when required.

Each treatment is fully personalised, ensuring the right balance between relaxation and deeper muscle release based on your needs on the day.

Yes, Reiki healing and relaxation therapeutic massage can be combined within the same session for a deeply relaxing and holistic experience.

This integrated approach allows the body and mind to be supported in different ways. Massage works physically to release muscle tension, improve circulation and relax the body, while Reiki supports energetic balance, calmness and overall wellbeing.

A combined session is tailored to your needs on the day and may involve starting with massage to release physical tension, followed by Reiki to encourage deep relaxation and energetic balance. The balance of each modality can also be adjusted depending on what feels most beneficial for you.

This combination is ideal for clients looking for both physical relief and a sense of calm, clarity and emotional wellbeing in one treatment.

Yes, children and young adults can receive massage, however treatments are always adapted to suit their age, comfort level and individual needs.

Therapeutic relxation massage for younger clients is typically very gentle and focused on relaxation, stress relief and supporting overall wellbeing. It is never deep or intense, and appropriate techniques are always used to ensure the client feels safe, comfortable and at ease throughout the session.

For young people, a massage may help with relaxation, calming the nervous system, easing mild muscle tension from sports or daily activity, and supporting better rest and wellbeing.

Parental or guardian consent is required for minors, and a parent or guardian may also be asked to be present depending on age and practice policy. Each session is tailored carefully to ensure it is suitable, appropriate and supportive for the individual.

Alyssa holds a current Working With Children Check (WWCC) and Police Check, providing added reassurance for families and clients.

The ideal frequency depends on your individual needs, lifestyle and wellbeing goals.

For Reiki, many clients choose to have sessions every 4–6 weeks as part of a continued wellness or personal growth journey. Others may book as needed, especially during times of stress, emotional imbalance, or when they feel they need extra support and grounding.

For massage, it can be beneficial to start with more regular sessions to help release built-up tension and support the body. After this, many clients maintain their wellbeing with a treatment approximately every 4–6 weeks, depending on stress levels, physical activity and how their body feels.

Each person is different, so treatments can always be adjusted based on what feels right for you at the time.

After a massage or Reiki session, most clients report feeling deeply relaxed, calmer and more balanced.

Following a massage, you may feel looser in your muscles, more relaxed in your body, and lighter overall as tension is released. Some people also feel a sense of relief in areas of tightness, improved mobility, and a general feeling of wellbeing. It is also normal to feel slightly sleepy or very relaxed afterwards.

After a Reiki healing, many clients describe feeling peaceful, grounded and emotionally settled. Some notice a quiet mind, a sense of clarity, or a gentle release of stress or emotional tension. Others simply feel rested and deeply relaxed.

Everyone responds differently, and your experience may vary from session to session. It is recommended to drink water afterwards and allow yourself time to rest and integrate the benefits of your treatment.
