Reiki and Energy Healing in Hampton Roads

Reiki is a gentle Japanese practice in which a practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the body to support deep relaxation and a sense of balance. Energy healing is a wider family of approaches that includes Reiki, healing touch, chakra balancing and distance sessions. You will find Reiki practitioners and teachers across Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Williamsburg and the rest of Hampton Roads, in person and online.

What a Reiki session is like

• You stay fully clothed and usually lie on a massage table or sit in a chair.
• The practitioner rests their hands lightly on, or just above, areas such as the head, shoulders and torso.
• Sessions usually last 45 to 90 minutes. Many people describe warmth, tingling or simply feeling very relaxed.
• Distance Reiki is done by phone or video, or at an agreed time while you rest at home.

How to choose a practitioner

Ask about their training and Reiki level (Level I, Level II or Reiki Master), how long they have practiced and what a session includes. Reiki is a complementary practice: it is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, so keep seeing your doctor or therapist for any health concerns.
