What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing practice that promotes relaxation, balance and emotional clarity. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki involves the transfer of energy through light touch or hovering hands, helping to regulate the nervous system, release emotional blockages and enhance overall well-being. When integrated into therapy, Reiki can support trauma processing, emotional regulation and inner healing, offering a holistic approach to personal growth.

Supporting Emotional Healing Through Mind-Body Connection

At Clariel Therapy, we recognize that healing is not just mental—it’s emotional, physical and energetic. That’s why we offer Reiki as an optional integration within psychotherapy sessions to support deep emotional processing, stress reduction and overall well-being. While Reiki can be a powerful complement to therapy, we do not offer Reiki-only sessions; it is incorporated into our therapeutic work when beneficial to the client’s healing journey.

The Benefits of Reiki in Therapy

• Deepens Emotional Healing: Helps release emotional blockages and unresolved trauma.

• Regulates the Nervous System: Supports relaxation and reduces stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm.

• Enhances Self-Awareness: Promotes a deeper connection to your emotions and intuition.

• Supports Trauma Processing: Complements therapeutic work by providing a calming, grounding experience.

• Improves Energy Flow: Helps restore balance and harmony in the mind and body.

How Reiki Is Integrated Into Therapy Sessions

At Clariel Therapy, Reiki is not a separate service but rather an optional tool incorporated into psychotherapy when appropriate. Our therapists may use Reiki techniques alongside traditional therapeutic approaches like Attachment Theory Therapy, EMDR, CBT and Mindfulness practices to enhance emotional healing. During a session, Reiki may be introduced by:

• Guiding you through energy-focused mindfulness exercises.

• Using light touch (with consent) or hands-off energy work to promote balance.

• Helping you connect with emotional and energetic shifts as part of trauma healing.

• Encouraging deep relaxation to support emotional processing.

Who Can Benefit from Reiki-Integrated Therapy?

Reiki within therapy can be especially beneficial for:

• Individuals experiencing stress, anxiety or emotional overwhelm.

• Clients working through trauma, attachment wounds or past emotional pain.
