What is Reiki healing?

Reiki healing is a gentle yet powerful practice that channels universal life force energy to restore balance and well-being. Rooted in ancient traditions and rediscovered by Dr. Usui, Reiki works by clearing energetic blockages and realigning the body’s energy. During a session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or above the body, allowing Reiki to promote deep relaxation, emotional healing, and stress relief. This process, called entrainment, helps the body’s energy synchronise with higher vibrations, offering a safe and natural path to healing.

What is sound healing?

Sound healing is an ancient practice that uses vibration to restore harmony in the body. Every organ, bone, and cell has its own frequency, and when these fall out of sync, we experience imbalance. By introducing sound at specific frequencies, we help realign the body’s resonance, supporting healing. This process, known as entrainment, shifts brainwaves into states of rest and repair. Sound healing can ease stress, improve sleep, and support emotional release. Through these gentle vibrations, we invite balance, clarity, and renewal.

What is Gua Sha?

Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that supports the flow of Qi, blood, and fluids throughout the body. More than a beauty trend or lymphatic drainage, it is a centuries-old practice that addresses internal imbalances and promotes holistic healing. Unlike massage, which uses kneading or circular motions, Gua Sha involves intentional, one-directional strokes with a smooth tool along specific areas. These strokes reach the muscle layer, releasing tension and relaxing tight fascia. Gua Sha gently calms the nervous system, supports skin health, and enhances circulation.

Are you registered TCM practitioners?

At The Healing Room, our Gua Sha offerings follow traditional Chinese medicine techniques. However, we are not registered TCM practitioners. Our study of Gua Sha has been guided by a reputable TCM expert, and we approach this treatment with deep respect for its origins. Please note that these offerings are not clinical or medical services, but a gentle beauty and wellness ritual designed to support relaxation and energetic balance.

Why use Bian stone in Gua Sha?

Bian stone tools are used in our Gua Sha treatments due to their rich history in traditional Chinese medicine, dating back over 2,500 years. Formed from volcanic rock, Bian stone contains over 40 trace minerals, which support skin health and detoxification. Due to its thermal conductivity and ability to store heat, Bian stone, when glided on the skin, stimulates circulation and promotes the flow of Qi.

What can I expect during an energy healing?

Each session is unique, but generally, you will be guided into a state of relaxation through meditation or breathwork. Whether you are receiving Reiki, sound healing, or a combination of both, the session is designed to help you unwind and restore balance. You may experience warmth, tingling, deep rest, or emotional release, all of which are natural responses to energy work.

What should I bring?

You may like to bring a water bottle, warm clothing, and a journal for any notes or reflections. For your comfort, cushions, blankets, and an eye pillow will be provided.

Do I need to have experience with meditation or energy healing?

Not at all. Sessions are designed for both beginners and those familiar with energy healing practices. Simply arrive with an open mind and allow yourself to relax.

How often should I receive energy healing?

This depends on your needs. Some people benefit from weekly or monthly sessions, while others come when they feel drawn to it. Trust your intuition and listen to what your body needs.

What if I fall asleep during an energy healing?

Falling asleep is completely normal and often a sign that your body is deeply relaxing and receiving the healing energy it needs. The benefits of the session still integrate whether you are awake or asleep.
