Grow Your Massage Practice with Reiki
As a massage therapist, you’re attuned to natural healing. You might be curious about using additional natural methods in your practice. Reiki, either incorporated in a massage session or offered by itself, is the perfect companion to massage.
What is Reiki?
The purpose of Reiki is to help a client become more whole through healing. This non-invasive energy therapy seeks to balance the body’s energy level and increase its ability to heal itself.
It’s possible to administer Reiki in several ways. Energy can flow through the hands of a practitioner and penetrate areas that need healing. Sometimes practitioners hold their hands above the client instead of touching him or her. Some Reiki professionals conduct distance sessions using Skype. Reiki practitioners also perform self-treatments.
Reiki nurtures, restores, and soothes clients and practitioners. It increases overall energy, promotes a sense of wellbeing, and reduces stress, particularly in helping professions with high burnout levels.
Reiki and Massage
Most clients interested in natural types of healing have heard about or are interested in Reiki. This is one reason why developing your massage business might be easier if you add Reiki.
Its practice is perfect for clients hesitant to remove clothing for a Swedish massage or resistant to hands-on techniques. Some therapists incorporate it during a massage to more deeply penetrate tissues with healing energy. Others add it after a full-body massage to make sure clients leave with an added dimension of and sense of wellbeing.
Since Reiki promotes healing of the individual rather than only treating a specific condition, it’s ideal for clients searching for a natural way to good health.
