Regulate with Reiki
Discover a gentle, noninvasive space to expand your calm
Life asks a lot of you. Maybe you’re raising children or teens and trying to parent with patience and connection, but you’re beyond tired, overstimulated, and struggling to hold it all together. At the same time, you might be worrying about ageing parents, stretched thin between caring, working, and keeping everyone afloat. And as if that weren’t enough, your hormones may feel all over the place since having children, or as menopause begins to whisper or roar its presence.
You can feel the strain: the tension in your body, a busy mind that doesn’t switch off, snapping at your kids, and feeling distant from your loved ones and even yourself. If you live with a sensitive nervous system — shaped by chronic stress, trauma, and/or neurodivergence — things like sound, light, or touch can sometimes tip your system into overwhelm, so it’s no wonder that many spaces promising calm may not have felt quite right for you to date.
Reiki sessions with me offer you a pause. A space away from the noise, the constant doing, and the endless demands. A chance for your body to rest and reset that is responsive to how your body finds calm and gives you choice. So you can finally bring some calm back into your life, your work, and your connections with your loved ones.
Hi, I’m Lucy
I get that every body has its own unique preferences & needs
Spaces promising calm and relief from stress are everywhere. Yet there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. And for those living with chronic stress or recovering from trauma, where the body and mind have been in survival mode for too long, it often takes more than one kind of support to find steadier ground. Talking therapies can bring powerful insights, but many benefit from non-verbal, holistic support alongside. And many complementary therapies rely on physical touch, which may be experienced as triggering or overstimulating. So what’s meant to bring calm can leave some feeling uneasy, tense, or squirming inside with an uneasy sense of “this is meant to feel good… so why doesn’t it?”
Alongside being a trained Reiki practitioner since 2014, I bring an informed, compassionate understanding of chronic stress and trauma shaped by many years working as a counsellor. That experience helps me create spaces where people’s emotional, sensory, and felt-safety needs are respected.
So with me in reiki, you’ll find a practitioner who welcomes collaboration and communication to make sure sessions truly work for you — the pacing, sensory environment, and whether you prefer light touch or non-contact. You don’t need to mask, perform calm, or explain your reactions here. If you need to shift your body multiple times during the session, go for it. Want to play your favourite music, feel free. Don’t feel comfortable closing your eyes, that’s fine. This is a space where your system and needs have a say and where calm is something we build together.
Discover reiki that is…

My 4-year-old once described mums (quite rightly!) as “queens”. Yet, let’s be honest, we rarely feel it. Trying to navigate the early months of recovering from the birth, navigating feeding, experiencing hormones totally out of whack, the fog of sleep deprivation, and trying to decode what our little ones are trying to let us know is… a lot. Whether it’s your first child or third, there’s so much to get to grips with when you have a new baby, without often barely any time to think, let alone relax and replenish our energies.
If you’re a mum to a little (or bigger!) one, please know this is a reiki space that welcomes you exactly as you are. You don’t need to have it all together. If you’ve leaked on your top, haven’t had a chance to wash your hair that still has jam smeared in it, or are so tired you can’t string a sentence together, that’s ok. If you feel touched out, reiki is also a great option as it works equally well with no touch. And if you feel overstimulated and just want to tune out the world in the session with a weighted eye mask and headphones in, go for it!

Whether you’re spiritual, sceptical, or somewhere in between, you’re welcome here. This is about helping your system settle, not signing up to any philosophy. Reiki sessions are simply a time for your mind and body to pause, settle, and recharge. And because this is a non-verbal treatment, you don’t have to talk or explain; you can simply rest and be.
Reiki isn’t a miracle cure, and I won’t pretend it is. It’s one gentle, non-verbal way to help your system find calm. For many people, it sits beautifully alongside other kinds of support — talk therapy, yoga, movement/sports, medication, and/or other complementary approaches. It’s not about choosing one over the other, but about finding a mix that actually works for you.

When your body has learned strategies to try and help you stay safe such as staying alert, “relaxation” can’t be assumed — it has to be built slowly, allowing you to make choices that honour what you need at every step.
From the moment you arrive, we go at your pace. You’ll be shown around, get a sense of the space, and have time to settle before we begin. Together, we’ll work through what feels most supportive — whether that’s no-touch, silence or your own music, eyes open or closed, lying or sitting, etc.
Everything in my practice is consent-led and collaborative. You’re welcome to pause, move, change your mind, and take breaks at any point.
The expectation isn’t that you’ll be able to “switch off” or “let go” on command — my goal is to collaborate with you to help your nervous system feel safe enough to rest, regulate, and reconnect in its own time, on its own terms.

Whether you are diagnosed as neurodivergent or not, this is a space that actively works with you, not one that asks you to mask or fit into a version of calm that doesn’t work for you.
Lighting, music, blanket preference (or none), pacing — everything can be adapted. If trying to keep your body still feels stressful, you’re welcome to move, stim, and I have a basket of fidgets you can use. You can also bring along anything that helps you relax, such as a weighted blanket, headphones, favourite eye mask, or anything else that you think would support you.
You’ll also be able to explore the different options for receiving reiki I offer in the space, including lying on a treatment table, sitting in a static chair, sitting or lying in a swinging seat, and I hope to soon add an aerial yoga swing to have a deep pressure cocooning offering!
The aim is for your system to feel safe enough to rest — on your terms, in your way.
