What Is Shamanic Reiki

 

Shamanic Reiki is a fusion of two powerful healing traditions - the energetic flow of Reiki and the ancient, earth-based practices of shamanism. Together, they create a gentle yet deep approach to healing and wellbeing.

 

Reiki works with the body’s natural energy system. When your energy is balanced, your body, mind, and spirit can heal more easily. When it is blocked or depleted, you may experience pain, fatigue, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of disconnection.

 

Shamanism is one of humanity’s oldest spiritual practices, rooted in relationship with nature, the spirit world, and the ancestors. Shamanic healing works with the elements — earth, air, fire, and water — as well as compassionate spirit allies such as power animals, plant spirits, and guides.

 

Shamanic Reiki brings these two approaches together, allowing universal healing energy to be supported and enhanced by the wisdom of the elements and the guidance of spirit allies. This creates a multidimensional healing experience that is both powerful and gentle.

​

Traditional Reiki focuses on restoring balance to the body’s energy system through universal life force energy. Shamanic Reiki includes this, but goes deeper — weaving in earth‑based practices, intuitive guidance, and connection with the elements and the unseen.

​

In a Shamanic Reiki session, I may work with:

​

• the elements (earth, air, fire, water)

• incense, essential oils or music, depending on your preferences

• drumming, rattling, or shamanic journeying

• spirit and ancestor guides, and power animals

• intuitive messages or imagery

• clearing and releasing stagnant or heavy energy

• grounding through connection with the land

​

This approach supports healing not only on the physical and emotional levels, but also within energetic, ancestral, and soul layers. It’s a powerful, holistic way of working that honours the old ways while remaining gentle, accessible, and deeply supportive.

 

​What to expect during a session

​​

Each session is a healing ceremony that connects you with the universal life force - known by many names across cultures. I serve as a hollow bone, allowing this healing energy to flow where it is needed.

 

Your session will begin with a gentle assessment of your energy field and a conversation about your health, wellbeing and intentions. You’ll remain fully clothed and can lie down or sit comfortably - whatever feels best for your body. I’ll guide you into a relaxed state, and then work with light touch or hands held just above the body to support the flow of energy.

​

Throughout the session, I stay attuned to your energy and adjust the work as needed - focusing on physical, emotional, or spiritual healing depending on what arises.

​

Many people experience warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or emotional release. Others simply feel peaceful and grounded. There is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki - your body and energy will take exactly what they need.

​

Throughout the session, I hold a safe, nurturing space where your system can soften, rebalance, and begin to heal. The effects often continue to unfold gently in the hours and days that follow.

​ 

At the end, you’ll be gently grounded and we’ll discuss any insights or messages that came through, along with suggestions for continued integration.

​

Sessions are 60 minutes long and can be held in person at my home on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales, or remotely.

 

Benefits of Shamanic Reiki

 

Shamanic Reiki can support healing on many levels, including:

 

• Physical healing - easing pain, inflammation, and tension; supporting recovery

• Stress and anxiety relief - calming the mind and soothing the nervous system

• Improved sleep - promoting deeper rest and relaxation

• Immune support - strengthening the body by reducing stress and restoring balance

• Emotional and spiritual healing - releasing old wounds, trauma, and energetic imprints

• Spiritual connection - deepening intuition and inner guidance

 

Shamanic Reiki is suitable for anyone seeking a holistic, gentle, and spiritually grounded approach to healing. It’s also a great option for those who are interested in exploring their spiritual path and connecting with their inner wisdom and intuition and can open the door to deeper spiritual experiences.

​

How many sessions will I need?

 

This varies from person to person, depending on how long you’ve been experiencing symptoms, their intensity, and where you are on your healing journey. Shamanic Reiki works gently and cumulatively, so most people begin to notice meaningful shifts after just a few sessions. 

 

As a general guide, many clients benefit from a series of four to six sessions, especially when working with long‑standing patterns or deeper emotional layers. Some choose to continue with regular sessions to maintain balance, support ongoing healing, and stay connected to their inner wellbeing.

Pricing

​​

I offer single sessions or packages, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of support that feels right for you. Shamanic Reiki packages offer a softer, more continuous flow of support, allowing each session to build gently on the last and giving your system time and space to settle, restore, and rebalance.

• Single session (1 hour): £45

• 4‑session package: £160

• 6‑session package: £230​
