What conditions can be cured with Reiki?
Reiki doesn't "cure" any conditions and does not replace proper care from a health provider.

However, Reiki seems to support the capacity of the body to heal itself. People feel deeply relaxed after receiving a Reiki treatment. Relaxation is needed to decrease stress hormones and to allow the body to regenerate and reparair tissues. Although research on Reiki is still limited, research on Reiki has shown that it helps wounds heal faster, relieves anxiety and depression, energizes, relieves pain and helps control stress. It is widely used with terminally ill patients throughout the world. Twenty percent of the hospitals in the U.S. use Reiki.

Why should I come for a Reiki sessions if I am healthy?
Reiki can help you keep you in balance. I works similar to a "rebooting" of the system. People experience a feeling of deep wellbeing after a session. Interestingly enough, some people just want to rest after a session, while others feel really energized. The effect seems to depend on the needs of the body.
