Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."

A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Forest Therapy, also known as Sylvotherapy, derived from the Latin “sylva” meaning “forest,” is a traditional, non-medicinal approach to healing through interaction with the forest. It’s the art of connecting with the plant world, where trees are the great masters. This practice, also referred to as shinrin yoku in Japanese, meaning “forest bathing,” has witnessed a notable surge in popularity in recent years. However, sylvotherapy is not limited to forest bathing alone. While hugging trees or hiking in the forest are a part of it, there is much more to experience beyond these.

Today, numerous scientific studies support its positive effects on cardiovascular, immune, and mental health. Forest Therapy engages the senses and cognitive abilities, helping participants to sleep better, feel fitter, and listen to their intuition. Forest Therapy combines scientific and energetic approaches for a holistic approach to wellness.
