Shen & Root​
In my many years of working with children, and through my own experience as a mother, I have seen how often children are moved quickly from place to place with little time to pause, ground, or process their feelings.
Children thrive when they feel safe, settled and emotionally supported. A calm, content child is better able to learn, grow and flourish.
Children’s Reiki offers a gentle space for slowing down, reconnecting with the body and allowing emotions to settle naturally. Sessions are always led by the child and adapted to their age, personality and comfort.
Reiki may be offered with light touch or with hands held slightly above the body. Children are welcome to sit, lie down, talk, rest, draw, or simply be. There is no expectation to behave in a certain way.
I work intuitively, drawing on my background in childcare, my studies in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and my understanding of child development to support each child’s individual needs. The focus is on creating a calm, respectful environment where children can feel seen and supported.
This offering may support children who:
Feel emotionally sensitive or overwhelmed
• Find it difficult to settle or relax
• Are experiencing transitions or change
• Benefit from quiet time and gentle attention
Children’s Reiki is not a medical or psychological treatment, but a supportive wellbeing practice that complements other care.
Take-Home Support
Where appropriate, parents may be offered simple, optional tools to support their child between sessions, such as:
• Grounding techniques
• Calming routines
• Gentle self-soothing practices
• Ways to create moments of pause at home
These suggestions are shared as supportive guidance, not instruction.
Parental Involvement & Safety
Parents or carers are welcome to remain present during the session if the child wishes. Clear consent, communication and comfort are prioritised at all times.
Sessions are offered in line with professional Reiki standards and with an understanding of child psychology, emotional safety and appropriate boundaries.
