Reike Facials
Discover editor Sam, chats to Sarah a Reiki facialist to find out more about this ancient healing therapy and how it can benefit you and your skin.
The word Reiki means mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign. It is derived from the Japanese word ‘rei’ meaning universal, and ‘ki’ meaning life energy. Reiki is a type of hands-on healing that is used to relieve pain and stress. Practitioners believe that energy can stagnate in the body when there has been emotional or physical pain and trauma. In time these emotional blocks can manifest as illness.Â
Reiki works on the principle that by improving the flow of energy around the body, it can enable relaxation, help relieve pain and speed the healing process. It is thought that people have been practicing reiki for 2,500 years, so it’s fair to say with this age-old tried and tested treatment, you will be in very safe hands. Pardon the pun.Â
Discover met Sarah, a qualified beauty therapist, who is also a Leith’s educated nutritionist and Reiki practitioner with over 14 years of experience within the wellness industry.
She uses a holistic, hands on approach to skincare, and begins all of her facials with a thorough consultation, creating a treatment plan specifically tailored to your needs, goals and lifestyle.Â

And breathe, that’s quite an impressive and extensive tool kit!
