If you feel constantly drained, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your body, you are not alone. Many people today carry stress, anxiety, and emotional tension that traditional therapies do not always reach. At Holistic Med Group in Oakville, our Reiki treatments offer a gentle, powerful way to restore inner balance, reduce emotional heaviness, and reconnect with your sense of calm and clarity.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that works with the body's subtle energy system. The word Reiki means "universal life energy," and the technique involves the practitioner using their hands to channel this energy to the areas of your body that need it most. There is no pressure or manipulation. You remain fully clothed and relaxed, either lying down or seated, while your body receives what it needs to return to a state of balance.

Reiki is not about religion or belief. It is about restoring the natural flow of energy in your body, which can be blocked by stress, grief, trauma, or physical illness. Many of our clients describe it as deeply calming, emotionally grounding, and spiritually refreshing.
Who Is Reiki For?
Reiki is safe and beneficial for people of all ages. It is especially powerful for those who are:
Struggling with high levels of stress or anxiety
Feeling emotionally stuck or disconnected
Experiencing burnout or fatigue with no clear medical cause
Grieving a loss or moving through a life transition
Managing chronic pain or tension
Seeking deeper relaxation and self-awareness
Going through fertility journeys, pregnancy, or postpartum healing
Recovering from illness or surgery and needing energetic support
Even if you cannot describe exactly what feels “off,” Reiki can help you reconnect with yourself and restore the sense that your mind and body are working together again.
What Happens in a Reiki Session at Holistic Med Group?
When you arrive at Holistic Med Group for a Reiki session, you are welcomed into a quiet, peaceful treatment room designed to help you fully relax. Your practitioner will take a few moments to speak with you about how you are feeling, what brought you in, and any specific areas of focus.
You will then lie down fully clothed on a treatment table. The practitioner will begin a series of light hand placements either directly on or just above your body. These placements correspond to the body’s energy centers, or chakras, and are used to identify and release blockages in your energy flow.
Most people describe the experience as:
Warm, tingling, or gently pulsing sensations
Deep emotional release or calm
A sense of weight being lifted off the chest
Insights or clarity during or after the session
Profound relaxation similar to deep meditation or sleep
After the session, your practitioner will check in with you and offer space to talk through anything you felt or noticed. Every session is unique, and the effects often continue to unfold in the hours or days that follow.
Why Reiki Works in Today’s World
We live in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. The nervous system is constantly overstimulated, and we rarely take time to reset, breathe, and simply exist in the present moment. Over time, this leads to emotional congestion that shows up as anxiety, brain fog, irritability, fatigue, or physical symptoms.
Reiki does not force the body to change. Instead, it invites the body to remember its own natural rhythm. It calms the nervous system, activates the body's own healing response, and helps shift you from survival mode into a state of safety and presence.
It is not uncommon for clients to cry, laugh, or feel emotional shifts during or after a session. These responses are part of your system releasing what it no longer needs. Reiki allows that process to unfold with support, compassion, and gentle care.
