Reiki Healing, Massage & Hot Stone Therapy with Alyssa Stuart

As a Reiki Master and Swedish/Relaxation Massage Therapist, I am dedicated to supporting your wellbeing through holistic healing. I believe true wellness comes from nurturing the mind, body, soul, and spirit, creating space for relaxation, balance, and inner connection.

I offer personalised Reiki healing, relaxation therapeutic massage, and hot stone massage treatments designed to help you slow down, release tension, and reconnect with yourself.


Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy healing practice that translates to “universal life force energy”. It is a non-invasive and calming treatment that works with your natural energy to encourage relaxation, balance, and a sense of wellbeing.


Reiki healing is often enjoyed as a deeply relaxing experience, supporting clients who are seeking stress relief, emotional balance, mental clarity, and a peaceful moment to restore their energy.

Benefits clients may experience include:
• Deep relaxation and reduced stress
• Relief from everyday tension and muscle tightness
• Improved sense of calm and balance
• Support for emotional wellbeing and inner peace


Relaxation & Therapeutic Massage combines soothing massage techniques with a personalised approach to help ease muscle tension, encourage relaxation, and support overall wellbeing.


Hot Stone Massage uses the gentle warmth of heated stones to enhance relaxation, soothe tired muscles, and create a deeply calming treatment experience.


I also offer Reiki combined with Relaxation Massage, blending energy healing and massage therapy to create a nurturing treatment tailored to your individual needs.


For those drawn to the beauty of crystals, Crystal Grid Energy Healing provides a peaceful experience using crystal energy to support deep relaxation, meditation, and energetic renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at alyssa@handsofheart.com.au if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A Reiki session 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 session 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 Session 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 Session 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 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 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 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 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 and 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 a massage, however treatments are always adapted to suit their age, comfort level and individual needs.


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 session, 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.


Yes, gift vouchers are available and make a beautiful gift for any occasion.


Gift certificates can be purchased as either a monetary value or for a specific treatment, allowing the recipient to choose the experience that best suits their needs. They are perfect for birthdays, special occasions, or simply to support someone’s wellbeing.


Gift vouchers can be purchased online, collected as a beautiful printed card ready for pick-up at either location, or posted directly if you would like to send them as a gift.


A selection of products is also available, including BOPO Women body care products and Resonate Essences. These products are chosen to support relaxation, self-care and overall wellbeing and can be purchased during your visit.


If you would like to organise a gift voucher or learn more about available products, please get in touch.

The Neutral Bay location has lift access, making it easier for clients who prefer step-free entry or require assistance with mobility.

    TESTIMONIALS

    If you are looking for a practitioner who is kind, caring and incredibly intuitive Alyssa is the person for you. Her reiki healing always leaves me with a lightness and sense of calm. She takes the time to listen and often shares her wisdom and insight in just the right measure. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Pip


    The treatment is excellent and most beneficial – it helps me greatly with general anxiety, and pain caused by arthritis. I really look forward to the benefits I obtain from my weekly sessions
    John

    Alyssa offers a wonderful experience. I have seen her for both massage and Reiki and each time I leave feeling lighter, relaxed and at peace. She is a gifted healer and a beautiful soul. I highly recommend her to anyone!!

    Erin

    I decided to spoil myself with a 2.5hr Reiki and relaxation session with Alyssa. The time flew and I emerged relaxed and energised. The physical symptoms that I had described to her at the start of the session were almost totally eliminated and I felt ready to take on almost anything.

    Marc

    A Reiki healing with Alyssa relieved the pain from arthritis in my thumb joint! Alyssa is warm, welcoming and professional. Her experience shines through.
    I’ll be back for a massage too! Highly recommend

    Samantha

    I have had a number of relaxation massages and Reiki sessions with Alyssa. I always have an immediate feeling of comfort and relaxation when I'm with her and she is so warm and welcoming. Being relatively new to Reiki, she has provided me with a gentle introduction and I have come away each time feeling clearer and stronger in my mind and mental well-being.
    I would definitely recommend Alyssa and can't wait til I have my next appointment with her!

    Sacha

    The last session I had with Alyssa Stuart I said "you have magic hands". Alyssa is amazing at what she does. She is gentle, kind and compassionate. I feel safe and trust in her abilities to tune into my energy and guide me on my healing journey. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alyssa to anyone who is open to this modality.

    Sarah

    I had the most incredible relaxation massage and Reiki session with Alyssa Stuart at Elemental Health. From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of calm and care. Alyssa’s massage was deeply relaxing, melting away all my tension, and her Reiki work left me feeling balanced and rejuvenated. She has a warm and intuitive approach that makes you feel completely at ease. If you're looking for a practitioner that nurtures both body and mind, I highly recommend Alyssa. I’ll definitely be booking again!

    Jean

    Thank you so much Alyssa for the amazing reiki and massage! I left feeling like a new woman!

    Donna

    Great experience from beginning to end. Professional, polished and the process of everything from the booking / new client form through to payment at the end was efficient and easy.

    Sasha

    I may be biased because I work alongside Alyssa but her reiki sessions sooth the mind and the soul - a beautiful way too flow into the Christmas season.
