A warm Welcome to Light Joy Wellness – Holistic Reiki for People and Pets, where we bring the beautiful benefits of therapy treatments to our clients in and around London.
Holistic Therapy To Support Mind And Body
A gentle Japanese healing technique with roots that stretch back some 2,500 years, Reiki is a holistic therapy that can be used to support both physical and emotional healing, promote deep relaxation, and minimise stress.
As a holistic wellness practice in the UK, we offer Reiki therapy for both people and animals, providing wellbeing support, relaxation and comfort to those experiencing stress, overwhelm, low mood and anxiety.
How Holistic Therapy Works Gently With Your System
During a gentle Reiki therapy session, practitioners place their hands above or on the body to encourage deep relaxation, restore lost balance to energy channels, and promote an intense feeling of inner calm in a natural way.
Clinical research [1] shows that Reiki can have significant benefits to a variety of people experiencing low mood and stress, with positive outcomes that are greater than would be expected from the placebo effect alone. This versatile therapy can also be used alongside other modalities, such as counselling and talking therapies, physiotherapy, and medication to amplify the benefits of existing programmes of care.
What To Expect In A Reiki Therapy Session
Our aim in every one of our natural holistic therapy treatments is to create a safe and healing atmosphere, so that you leave each session feeling restored and refreshed. Following a short consultation to discuss your situation and concerns, you will be invited to lie back on a comfortable treatment table to relax and unwind.
Depending on your comfort levels and preferences, your practitioner will use a hands-off or hands-on approach to balancing your body’s energy flow and promoting deep relaxation. Each session will conclude with space to reflect and process, ensuring you feel fully supported with any feelings that come to the surface for you during therapy.
What Does Reiki For Pets Entail?
While the goals remain the same, Reiki sessions for pets are often conducted in different ways to ensure your animal remains comfortable throughout. Sessions can be conducted in our holistic therapy clinic or in an environment your pet is comfortable and familiar with. Your pet will be free to roam around the space and allowed to decide for themselves how close they want to be to the practitioner.
Each animal’s body language will be listened to when determining whether a hands-on or hands-off approach is more suitable, ensuring that every action is tailored to their comfort. It may also be possible to conduct distance Reiki for animals experiencing high levels of tension or fear.
Is Reiki Right For Your Specific Concerns?
If you or your pet are experiencing high levels of stress, anxiety or low mood, pain, or are having a difficult time processing a big life event such as a house move or bereavement, Reiki may help.
During a one-to-one consultation, together we will have the opportunity to discuss your specific concerns and determine whether Reiki therapy is the right option for you. If we decide to try Reiki, we will work together to put together a bespoke treatment plan solely designed to support your wellbeing and have an honest conversation about what you can expect from your first sessions.

Conditions And Symptoms Reiki Therapy May Help

Supporting Mood, Sleep And Emotional Balance
Reiki therapy can also provide support with emotional and mental health symptoms, such as:
– Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
– Depression and mood regulation
– Stress and burnout

While Reiki therapy is not a standalone treatment and can’t replace existing care, it is a beautiful complementary therapy, which can provide valuable support to other mental health treatments such as talking therapy and counselling.
