Reiki for me

Reiki can be deeply healing and transformational. A series of Reiki treatments close together and as part of a regular self-care practice, can be beneficial to help shift and move energy by helping you to release resistance and move toward a balanced and allowing state.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a natural hands-on healing practice, originating from Japan without pressure, manipulation or massage. It promotes relaxation of your body and mind, assisting your body’s natural self-healing abilities.

How does it work?

Reiki helps to activate your body’s self-healing abilities by helping to restore balance. Reiki may assist by reducing reduce stress, tension, anxiety, pain and discomfort. It assists on all levels, either physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Reiki works energetically and is a non-invasive treatment.

How do I prepare for my Reiki treatment?

Be well hydrated and wear comfortable clothing. Avoid eating a big meal or drinking coffee at least two hours before your treatment. No alcohol should be consumed on the day of a treatment. 

What happens in a Reiki treatment?

We discuss how you’d like Reiki to assist you and we complete the client intake health and consent forms. You then choose to lie either on a massage table or sit in a chair. You remain fully clothed for your treatment. With your permission I place my hands lightly on your head in various hand positions and respectfully work down your body, front and back, arms, legs and feet. You may feel sensations while receiving Reiki, warmth, heat, tingling, buzzing are common sensations. You may have vivid thoughts, or be in a semi-conscious dream-like state. You may find yourself feeling very relaxed and may even fall asleep. You may experience a deep sense of relaxation, similar to that of meditation. This is all completely natural and normal and Reiki will continue to flow whilst you are sleeping or relaxing.

What happens after a Reiki treatment?

You may feel like you’ve had a big rest or sleep! You may feel lighter, calmer, peaceful and more relaxed. It's best to relax after a Reiki session or perhaps go for a gentle walk. Drink plenty of water, to help your body with flushing and releasing, and be kind with yourself. Often people take time off work so they can fully relax after their Reiki session. I recommend having regular Reiki treatments as part of your self-healing and self-care process.

Are there any side effects?

With the release of energy, toxins are filtered by your liver and kidneys, This may sometimes cause a headache, nausea, stomach ache, or feeling tired. This is known as the ‘healing response’ and it’s your body naturally cleansing and detoxing. This is an important part of the process. Sometimes, you may feel a little worse, before it gets better, particularly for those who are receiving a few Reiki treatments. Drink plenty of water to help with flushing the toxins from your system, get plenty of sleep/rest and take it easy.

Can I have Reiki if I’m receiving treatment for a medical condition or illness?

Yes, you can. There are no known contra-indicators with Reiki. Reiki is a complementary therapy and supports you, with any health care treatments you may be receiving, or medication you may be taking.

How is Reiki practiced in New Zealand?

In New Zealand (and around the world), Reiki is practiced in many different ways. Some practitioners combine Reiki with other modalities or practices e.g. crystals, colour therapy, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, sound healing, psychic or clairvoyant readings, Tarot, Oracle, intuitive messages etc and they may talk during your Reiki treatment.

For those who wish to see me for Reiki treatments and to learn Reiki, I practice and teach Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki professionally and I practice more towards the traditional way that Reiki was practiced. I focus purely and simply on the Reiki energy, letting the energy guide, without combining any other modalities. Your Reiki treatment also takes place without me talking to you, so you can relax and enjoy the sounds of the river, birds, nature and/or music.

Can I have Distance Reiki Healing?

Yes, you can. During times when face-to-face Reiki treatments cannot take place, or if you or a loved one is in another location, Reiki distance healing is another option.

Note: If you have a disability please let me know in advance, so that I may accomodate you best.

I have been having regular reiki treatments with Dionne for a year now.  I really look forward to my monthly appointment. They keep me in balance for my own life and practice.

For me it is a time to relax, let go and rejuvenate and to release any held or stuck energy from my body. Reiki balances mind, body and spirit.

Dionne is an authentic practitioner who embodies the reiki energy and philosophy. From the moment you arrive you are held in a safe, nurtured and clear space.

Her purpose built studio that overlooks the bush and a running river enhances the experience.

Thank you Dee for showing me the potential of reiki and the importance of self care at this energetic level. I love our time together.

“Dee’s ‘Little Reiki Retreat’ is truly magical, the setting in the Kaimai ranges is stunning, you instantly feel like you’re in a different world and free to relax and just be. Dee has an amazing energy, she truly cares about people and is passionate about helping others, her positive energy, compassion and authentic nature make healing natural to her. Dee’s energy pours into her healing session, I felt many benefits during my session and went through many different emotions, feeling lighter in myself at the end and continued to feel the benefits for days/weeks afterwards. During the time I’ve known Dee she has always had an interest in energy healing and an ability to tune into others in a very special way, so it is wonderful to see Dee doing what she loves with her ‘Little Reiki Retreat’. 

I recently enjoyed some very special time in Dee’s ‘Secret Garden’ near her ‘Little Reiki Retreat’, I sat bathed in the sun enjoying the tranquillity of the beautiful scenery and sound of the river  – healing on top of healing.”

“From our very first connection this extremely gifted, bubbly and beautiful lady Dee Dee has been an absolute angel. She continually teaches and guides me with her profound kindness and depth of wisdom. Being in Dee’s company whether it be, on the phone, video call, the same room, a loving smile across the room, a heartfelt deep hug or receiving blissful healing, I always feel up lifted and brighter.

Dee’s magic soul and hands profoundly yet VERY powerfully helped heal my recovering body, after years of big surgeries and procedures. One of the most magical moments was after my last of many surgeries, Dee’s divinely warm healing hands REALLY got my system back on track and connected again, within hours in fact. My body had been heavily compromised for years. Dee’s abilities have made very positive differences to my soul, my body and my life mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.

Everything is possible with Dee. Dee’s heart is open for your highest good. I am extremely grateful and feel very privileged to be touched by such magic and to have such a super-cali-fragilistic-expialidocious amazing friend. Not forgetting how many giggles and fun we have had”.
