An alternative treatment method is a natural way of healing. Energy flows like “rivers” through our bodies. Our growth and healing processes are not possible without this energy.

This creates an energetic imbalance in the supply of cells and organs, which can lead to discomfort or even illness. With targeted Reiki treatments, these blockages can be dissolved and the energy can flow freely and unhindered. It is a subtle process of holistic health maintenance. Body and mind come back into balance. The healing process takes place without medication that causes negative side effects and puts additional strain on the body.
