Reiki & Energy Healing

Reiki and energy healing are gentle, complementary wellbeing practices intended to support relaxation, balance and a sense of wellbeing.​ Sessions may involve the practitioner placing their hands lightly on or just above the body. Physical contact is optional and will only take place with your consent.

​

Contraindications and Precautions

Reiki is generally considered a gentle practice, but please contact Reiki Mastery Academy before booking if you have:

​

• A medical condition, recent surgery or injury that may affect your comfort or ability to participate

• Significant pain, mobility limitations or difficulty lying or sitting comfortably

• Sensitivity to touch or any concerns about physical contact

• A mental health condition or history of trauma that may make close personal interaction or relaxation practices distressing

​

Reiki does not replace medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Participants should continue any prescribed treatment and consult their healthcare professional about medical concerns.

​

What You May Experience

You may experience relaxation, warmth, emotional responses or other personal sensations. Experiences vary, and no particular sensation or outcome is required. You may request a hands-off approach, change your position or stop the session at any time.

Your comfort, personal boundaries and consent will always be respected.

​

Conscious Connected Breathwork

Conscious Connected Breathwork involves a continuous, rhythmic breathing pattern which may be more intensive than your normal breathing.​ The practice can bring about physical sensations, emotional responses and changes in awareness.

 

Contraindications and Precautions​

Please contact me before booking if you have, or have a history of, any of the following:

​

• Cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease, heart attack, stroke or uncontrolled high blood pressure

• Epilepsy or seizures

• Severe asthma, COPD or other significant respiratory conditions

• Glaucoma, retinal detachment or serious eye conditions

• Aneurysm or significant vascular conditions

• Pregnancy

• Recent major surgery, significant injury or unhealed fractures

• Severe osteoporosis

• Bipolar disorder, psychosis, mania or other serious psychiatric conditions

• Severe PTSD, dissociation or significant trauma-related difficulties

• Any medical condition that may be aggravated by intensive breathing or changes in breathing patterns

​

Some conditions may mean that intensive Conscious Connected Breathwork is not appropriate, even with modifications.

​

If you have any concerns about your health or suitability, please consult your healthcare professional before participating.

​

What You May Experience​

During breathwork, some participants experience:

​

• Tingling sensations in the hands, feet, face

• Light-headedness or dizziness

• Changes in body temperature

• Muscle tightness or temporary cramping

• Temporary tetany hands/feet clenching

• Emotional responses or releases

• Different sensations

• Changes in awareness or perception

​

These experiences vary between individuals. They are not required for the practice to be meaningful, and more intense sensations do not necessarily mean greater benefit.

​

You are always encouraged to listen to your body. You may slow your breathing, return to your natural breathing rhythm or stop at any time.

​

If you experience significant discomfort, please stop the practice and let me know immediately.

​

A gentler breathing approach may be offered where appropriate, following an individual suitability assessment.

​

Sound Healing & Energetic Integration

Our sound experience is designed to be gentle and restorative, supporting relaxation and integration following the day's other practices. It may include crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls and other instruments. 

​

Contraindications and Precautions

Please contact me before booking if you have:

​

• Epilepsy, particularly seizures triggered by sound or sensory stimulation

• Tinnitus, hyperacusis or significant sensitivity to sound

• Hearing conditions or hearing aids that may make certain sounds uncomfortable

• Severe anxiety, PTSD or other mental health conditions where immersive sound or meditation may be distressing

• Recent surgery, injury or another condition that may make lying or sitting in one position uncomfortable

• Implanted medical devices or other medical concerns, particularly if any instruments are to be used directly on the body

​

If you have an implanted medical device, please seek advice from your treating clinician about any proposed direct-contact or vibrational sound treatment. Our planned group session uses gently played instruments rather than instruments placed on participants.

​

What You May Experience

Everyone responds differently to sound.

You may experience relaxation, heightened awareness, emotional responses or sensitivity to particular sounds.

You are always welcome to adjust your position, sit in a chair, request a quieter experience or step away from the session if needed.

Your comfort is more important than remaining in the practice.

​

Qigong

Our Qigong practice involves gentle, flowing movement and can usually be adapted to suit different levels of mobility.

Please let me know if you have any injuries, balance difficulties or mobility limitations.

​

Guided Meditation

Guided meditation may occasionally bring up uncomfortable emotions. Participation is always optional, and you are welcome to rest quietly instead.
