Reiki in Shrewsbury & Beyond: Gentle Healing Wherever You Are

Reiki is something I love sharing because it’s gentle, calming, and works in ways that often surprise people. Many imagine Reiki as something that has to be done in person, with hands placed lightly over the body. That’s true — and it’s a beautiful experience. But Reiki isn’t limited by distance. Distance Reiki allows me to send healing energy wherever you are. Whether you’re at home in Shrewsbury, away at university, or even living abroad, Reiki can still reach you. Reiki is a gentle form of energy healing that promotes relaxation and balance. Energy doesn’t need us to be in the same room — it flows where it’s needed.

How Distance Reiki Works

We connect beforehand to agree on a time together. At that time, you simply relax in a quiet

space — even resting in bed is perfect. I then send Reiki using intention and symbols, allowing the energy to flow to you wherever you are. Afterwards, we speak again to reflect on your experience.

Clients often tell me they feel warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of peace — whether in person or at a distance. Many also notice they sleep more soundly afterwards or feel lighter emotionally.

And yes, it’s absolutely fine if you drift off to sleep during a session. The energy continues to flow whether you’re awake or asleep. People often worry if they snore — and that’s really not a problem at all.

During Reiki, people may notice sensations such as warmth, coolness, tingling, or pulsing. Others describe feeling lighter, deeply relaxed, or emotionally released. Every response is unique — each session will feel different, because each time you bring something new to the experience.

Many people wonder how Reiki works. I often share this quote:

"We trust invisible waves to power our Wi‑Fi every day — Reiki works with similar unseen energies of frequency and vibration.” 

What to Expect in a Reiki Session

I offer 30‑minute, 45‑minute, and 60‑minute sessions, with longer options available if required.

Sessions can also be combined with my other bespoke therapies as part of a mind‑body and somatic healing approach. There’s no special preparation needed, though I recommend staying hydrated with water before and after your session.

Before your first session, you’ll also complete a client consultation form, so I can tailor the experience to your needs. Reiki can be received alongside other treatments or therapies, offering supportive balance without interfering with medical care. Many people use Reiki as a complementary therapy to ease stress, promote relaxation, and support wellbeing.

My Reiki Journey

I began my Reiki journey after experiencing its gentle yet powerful effects for myself, many years ago. The calm, balance, and sense of reconnection it brought me were transformative, and it soon became part of a wider holistic path that I now share with my clients at Serenities Path.

I continued my training and am now a Reiki Master, which allows me to offer Reiki at a deeper level and to teach it to others.

For me, Reiki is more than a therapy — it’s a way of life, and I feel privileged to share that gift with clients in Shrewsbury and beyond. I am also a member of the Reiki Federation, the largest professional Reiki organisation in the UK. This membership means I follow recognised standards of practice, ethics, and training. It reassures clients that my work is professional, accountable, and aligned with the wider Reiki community. Reiki can also be a gentle, supportive tool to help children ease anxiety, sleep better, and feel calmer.

Reiki in Professional Settings

Reiki practitioners can be found in hospitals, veterinary practices, hospices, and many other organisations, where its gentle support complements traditional care.

Reiki and Special Situations

Reiki can be received in pregnancy, offering calm and balance for both mother and baby. Reiki is also used in hospitals, hospices, and cancer support centres as a complementary therapy. While it does not treat or cure medical conditions, many people find it helps ease stress, promote relaxation, and support emotional wellbeing alongside their medical care.

Reiki and Changing Perspectives

Reiki is for everyone. It's been encouraging to see more people from all walks of life - regardless of age, gender, or identity - discover it's gentle support.

Sharing a Client’s Words

“I had the most beautiful long distance Reiki session with Nikki last week — honestly, it was incredible. Even though she wasn't in the room (I was snuggled up in my duvet at home), I still felt the same calming, soothing energy flowing through my body, just as if she were there beside me. The whole experience was deeply relaxing & grounding. The next day, I felt full of energy & rebalanced. If you've ever been curious about Reiki or wondered whether long distance sessions really work, well, I can tell you that they do, & are just as powerful as in‑person sessions. I've had many Reiki sessions with Nikki & I can’t recommend her enough.”

Final Thoughts

Whether you choose to come for an in‑person session, try distance Reiki, book mobile Reiki, or join me at Lily M, Shrewsbury, the intention is always the same: to help you feel balanced, calmer, and more connected to yourself.

Reiki also supports your body’s natural ability to build its own immunity, working hand‑in‑hand with the mind‑body connection and somatic healing approach. Alongside my other offerings at Serenities Path — EFT, mindfulness, Indian Head Massage, walk & talk therapy, and holistic therapy — the focus is always on helping you heal from within.

If you’d like to experience Reiki for yourself, I’d love to welcome you to Serenities Path — simply get in touch to book your session.
