At Amethyst Body & Soul, Reiki services are offered to help individuals achieve balance and wellness.
Each treatment is individualized to the client’s needs. Confidentiality is always respected. Treatment is carried out fully clothed, only shoes/external coat are removed, with the client sat on a treatment-chair, either facing forward or backward, the client may covered by an optional warming blanket and an optional eye-covering, to help sooth all senses. Meditative music is played in the background and optional aromatherapy with finger massage using a copper ring is used to help relax and distress the client prior to the start of the Reiki treatment. During Reiki, your practitioner will use hand placement either on, around, or above the body, and may use warmed basalt volcanic rock stones (if not contraindicated), and Chakra crystals to deepen the connection with the client’s Chakras to add an extra element of healing. At the end of treatment, slow awakening of the client is achieved with an optional offering of traditional Japanese tea to energize the client ready for their day ahead, and to allow the client to discuss their treatment and what may be expected post-treatment; Reiki triggers the body’s natural healing process, and detoxification, it is important for the recipient of Reiki to drink their recommended daily intake of water to flush away such toxins and boost their energy levels.
All stones/crystals/other multi-use items are sanitised between treatments.
Reiki is a 'spiritual energy', a holistic healing system originally devised by a Japanese priest, Dr Mikao Usui. The 'Ki' part of Reiki refers to life-force energy, this energy flows inside our physical bodies through meridians, as well as outside our body's external energy field referred to as 'aura'. Reiki is based on the idea that a universal life-force energy flows through all living things and that this energy can be harnessed to promote healing and well-being of humans, animals, and plants. If our energy is low, we are more likely to feel stress and get sick, but if our energy is high, we are more capable of being happy and able to combat illness and every day life.
Reiki may benefit and comfort individuals suffering from a range of conditions, however it is not to be regarded as a cure, a religion, or a belief system. It is a natural form of healing that may enhance and support other forms of conventional, alternative, or complementary therapies. The holistic nature of Reiki affects the whole person - in body, in mind, in emotion, and in spirit.
Physically - Reiki promotes the body's own natural ability to heal itself, often relieving pain, and developing an awareness of the body's needs such as good nutrition and exercise.
Mentally - Reiki treatments aid clients into a state of deep relaxation, releasing stress and tension. Regular treatments allow clients to let go of negative and intrusive thoughts, and replace them with positive thoughts, leaving the client to feel at peace.
Emotionally - Reiki promotes self-wellbeing, by encouraging the release of negative emotions from anger, resentment, sadness, to positive qualities such as loving, caring and trusting.
Spiritually - Reiki focuses on acceptance of self, to love oneself and others, to be kind, compassionate.
Chakras are energy centres within the human body and external aura, whereby the Ki aka life-force energy, circulates actively.
There are 7 main Chakras that are focused on throughout Reiki treatments:
Crown Chakra: The Crown Chakra is the energy center for higher guidance and communication.
Third Eye Chakra: The Third Eye Chakra is the energy center for inspiration, intuition, inner knowing and spiritual visions.
Throat Chakra: The Throat Chakra is the energy center for communication and truth.
Heart Chakra: The Heart Chakra is the energy center for love of self and others, forgiveness and compassion.
Solar Plexus Chakra: The Solar Plexus Chakra is the energy center for self, self-esteem, self-discipline, ambition and self-respect.
Sacral Chakra: The Sacral Chakra is the energy center for relationships, sexuality, passion and creativity.
Root (aka Base) Chakra: The Root Chakra is the energy center for stability, grounding, survival and security.
Chakra Crystals* are semiprecious stones, 'filled' with Reiki so that the energy is released slowly for healing purposes. Each crystal has its own 'energy vibration' from natural Earth energy. By applying chakra-specific crystals on/near a client's chakras, the crystal adjusts and aligns the chakra, working directly with the client's energy within their body to boost self-healing.
Crown Chakra: Clear Quartz. Clear Quartz is a master healing and clearing crystal know as a ‘stone of light’.
Third Eye Chakra: Amethyst. Amethyst is a stone of protection, purification, and divine connection.
Throat Chakra: Lapis Laxuli. Lapis Laxuli aids royal virtues, activating psychic abilities.
Heart Chakra: Green Aventurine. Green Adventuring promotes vitality, growth and confidence.
Solar Plexus Chakra: Tiger’s Eye. Tiger’s Eye promotes mental clarity, and balance between extremes.
Sacral Chakra: Orange Aventurine. Orange aventurine benefits manifestation, abundance, and creativity.
Root (aka Base) Chakra: Red Jasper. Red Jasper promotes endurance, strength, and empowerment.
*Nature Wonders 100% all natural chakra healing stones with engraved symbols, are highly polished and finished with beeswax.
Basalt heated stones accentuates the healing properties of the Chakras when combined with Reiki, allowing positive energy to enter and the negative energy to be withdrawn. Heated stones may be placed on or nearby a specific Chakra, or be cupped by the client's hand. The stones are dry heated (not too hot) rather than using wet heat, so they can be placed on a clothed person without the worry of wetting clothes. No oils are used.
When a client is receiving Reiki, they may experience warmth, tingling, calmness, drowsiness, become emotional or even excited. Clients may also experience visualisations, feel overwhelmed, or completely clear-headed.
It is good to connect with your practitioner afterwards to discuss what you felt prior, during and after your treatment so appropriate aftercare can be offered.

Tracey is a certified Reiki practitioner passionate about helping others discover the benefits of Reiki. Tracey brings her own unique skills and experience to the table, to provide the best possible care for her clients.
Originally from the UK, Tracey moved over to Vancouver Island in 2010 with her husband. Working as a full-time Registered Nurse for many years, in 2023 Tracey took a step back to work part-time. She started her venture with self-healing modalities during COVID-19, when her own health took a turn, and felt that she needed more than just conventional medicine to reset and renew her body and mind, becoming more connected with her inner-self. During this time, Tracey had many holistic treatments with Reiki being the most profound. Reiki became a constant in Tracey’s own self-healing practice, as she took courses to initially carry out self-reiki, and then continued forward to do Level I, Level II, and now Level III, along with other courses for Crystal Healing, Sound Therapy and Colour Therapy.
When Tracey is not working, she likes to do gentle exercise and Tai Chi, and spends her free time with her family and friends, taking in the beautiful Westcoast nature at the beach or in forest trails, being surrounded by animals, or simply being at home creating art, listening to music, reading a book, and having relaxing snuggles on the sofa together binging Netflix.
Tracey’s favorite crystal is the Amethyst, a stone associated with the third-eye and crown chakras; improves physical health, intuition, calmness, and reduces anxiety, stress, and negativity.
