Finding Calm from Anywhere: The Benefits of Distance Reiki Healing
If you’ve ever felt exhausted, anxious, or out of balance but didn’t know where to start, you’re not alone.
I know that feeling well — after experiencing a heart attack in 2020 at 40 years old and then learning to live with Long Covid for the last four years, I realised that true healing happens on so many levels, not just the physical. It was during this time that Reiki became a lifeline — a space where I could find calm, stillness, and connection when everything else felt so uncertain and overwhelming.
I’ve actually been receiving Reiki for years, long before my health challenges began. But it wasn’t until I truly needed it that I understood its power on a much deeper level. That experience has given me the inspiration and motivation to completely change my life — my work, my habits, and my relationship with myself.
For years, I worked in a high-pressure corporate environment, constantly pushing through stress and exhaustion. My body — and my intuition — tried to tell me to slow down, but I just didn’t listen. Like so many of us in this fast-paced world, I believed that productivity meant worth. It took a major wake-up call to realise that wasn’t true.
Reiki became more than something I received; it became a part of me — a way of being. It’s now woven into every aspect of my life: the way I move, breathe, rest, and connect with others.
What Is Distance Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that supports the body and mind in returning to a natural state of balance. It works on an energetic level — helping to clear blockages, calm the nervous system, and restore harmony.
Distance Reiki works exactly the same way as an in-person session. Energy isn’t confined by space or time, so it can be sent and received from anywhere in the world. You don’t have to “believe” in it for it to work; all that’s needed is an openness to receive.
The Benefits of Distance Reiki
Reiki meets you exactly where you are — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Some of the many benefits include:
Deep relaxation and improved sleep
Reduced stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
Greater mental clarity and emotional release
Support during recovery or times of transition
A renewed sense of inner calm and connection
During my own recovery, these sessions helped me reconnect with peace and trust when everything felt uncertain and overwhelming. It gave me the space to breathe again — to just simply be.
What to Expect from a Distance Reiki Session
During a session, you simply find a quiet, comfortable place to sit or lie down. I’ll connect with you energetically from my space, guiding Reiki to flow where it’s needed most.
Many people feel warmth, tingling, or gentle waves of calm. Others simply drift into deep relaxation or fall asleep — there’s no right or wrong way to experience Reiki. After the session, I often share intuitive insights or guidance that came through, offering a sense of clarity and grounding.
Why Distance Reiki Is So Accessible
One of the beautiful gifts of Distance Reiki is its accessibility. Whether you’re at home, travelling, or not feeling well enough to attend in person, you can still receive the same level of healing and support.
In fact, I have held sessions for clients in the UK, Australia, and America — reminding me that energy truly knows no boundaries. It’s a beautiful way to connect and share healing across the world.
It’s a gentle reminder that energy — and care — can reach you wherever you are.
A Closing Thought
My journey has taught me that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about slowing down enough to listen. Reiki has given me the space to do that, and it continues to guide how I live, work, and connect with others every day.
If you’ve been feeling called to find more balance, calm, or clarity in your life, Distance Reiki can meet you exactly where you are — gently helping you return to yourself.
If you’d like to experience it for yourself, you can book a session with me online here, or simply reach out for a chat to see if it feels right for you.
