The effectiveness of Reiki, a holistic
therapy that works alongside
conventional medicine and treatments,
has for years had its validity questioned,
however more recently it is gaining new
respect within the medical community.
For years, Reiki and other holistic therapies have been looked down upon by medical associations, practitioners, and scientists. The idea that the human body was surrounded by an invisible body of “life force energy” was considered nonsense in the west. These “life energy” fields are accepted in China as Chi or Qi, in Japan as Ki and in India as Prana but outside these countries, as it was immeasurable by traditional research or scientific instruments it was viewed as balderdash.
But now all that is changing.
There has been an increasing amount of serious, in-depth clinical trials on Reiki over recent years and undoubtedly more will follow. At last, new science is beginning to prove that Reiki works. The UK Reiki Federation has gathered over a hundred clinical trials and published articles in a document called “Reiki – The Body of Evidence” which can be downloaded as a PDF copy. This link will take you to Reiki research documents on the UK Reiki Federation Webite.
Reiki is used in hospitals in the UK and USA as well as other countries. The short video below explains how Reiki is used not only in hospitals generally but in the operating theatre as well.

Reiki Treatments in Sudbury, Suffolk, UK.
The Reiki I offer here privately in Sudbury, Suffolk is the same as that offered by the hospitals mentioned above. Like theirs, mine is of a professional standard; I am a Master Teacher and I have full public liability insurance with Westminster Insurance.
Sudbury has plenty of car parks which offer 3 hours free parking and are also within a 5 - 10 minute walk of Suffolk Reiki. My treatment room is based within a holistic therapy building on the ground floor which provides fairly easy access.
Can Reiki be done long distance?
Believe it or not, Reiki is just as effective when done long distance!
Therefore, if you are unable to attend a session in person due to your location or mobility, you are still able to reap all of the benefits of Reiki without worrying about traveling.
