A Brief History of Reiki
Reiki Healing is a Japanese healing technique developed by Mikao Usui in the early twentieth century. Usui was a Buddhist monk looking for a way to be able to heal without using up his own energy. It was through long periods of study and meditation that he discovered ancient texts describing a unique healing energy. It is through this that the Usui Reiki System was born: laying hands on the Universal Life Force Energy, channeled from a practitioner’s hands through to the recipient.
Reiki only took a very short period to spread due to its easy application but strong effects. It was propagated in the West during the 1930s through Hawayo Takata, who learned it in Japan from one of the students Usui trained. Today, almost all hospitals and wellness centers practice Reiki as a supplementary measure to conventional medical treatments to promote healing and well-being.
What is Reiki Healing?
Reiki is an ancient Japanese practice that administers life force energy to promote healing and balance in your physical, emotional, and spiritual identity. It is a soft but influential practice through which energy goes from the practitioner down to the client. It dissolves the energy blockages and dispels stress.

How Does Reiki Work?
Reiki is the healing process in which the practitioner’s hands are softly placed on or above a person in certain positions.

What clients say
I’ve had a Life Activation before, and it was a profound and life-changing awakening for me. Some years later, I had a refresher session with Carla, which beautifully realigned me with my purpose and filled me with more light and energy. Carla creates a deeply safe and nurturing space that allows for calmness, spiritual connection, and truly transformative moments to unfold. She is a gifted healer, and her work, whether Life Activation, negative cord cutting, or other spiritual practices, always leaves me feeling renewed and uplifted.
Danica G.
I went to see Carla because I was feeling completely off kilter. Like there was a blender constantly chopping up everything inside. During my session I already started to feel calmer and more myself but the real magic started afterwards. I slept without nightmares for the first time in years, my inner voice started to get stronger when it came to making better choices for myself and a 100 other little things has unfolded in the last week. I’m absolutely blown away by this. You can also feel that Carla truly cares about you and your healing journey. It’s a beautiful, calming, judgement free space.
Chantelle H.
I was skeptical at first but after my first Reiki session, I felt a relief of pain in my body and was very relaxed. I will certainly be coming back on a regular basis!
Brenda B.
The energy alignments and Life Activation were truly remarkable. I felt a shift in my energy immediately and have noticed improvements in my overall well-being since the session. This is a must-try for anyone looking to enhance their spiritual health.”
Davey G.
Life Activation has been a life-altering experience. The session helped me clear so much negative energy and brought a new sense of clarity and purpose to my life. Carla, who was my practitioner was compassionate and knowledgeable, making the experience even more powerful.
