'I went to a reiki healer - and I was quite surprised about how it felt'

Reiki is a method of healing that a growing number of people swear by. The actual practice of reiki involves gentle touch and hand movements, with the participant lying on a table and the healer focusing on certain areas to use energy to heal.

Those who partake tell us that the ancient therapy enhances the body's own innate ability to heal itself, and praise the practise for its mental, spiritual, emotional and physical benefits.

Patricia Loughlin has been practicing reiki for over 25 years and started her journey during the breakup of her marriage, which saw her experiencing low levels of confidence and high anxiety and stress.
