Pranic healing in Perth

The thing this page won’t do is tell you what energy work does. Practitioners describe it in their own terms and you can read those on their own sites; what we can describe is the room.

A reiki session runs 45 to 75 minutes. You stay fully clothed and lie on a massage table while the practitioner holds their hands on or just above you, working in positions from head to feet. There’s little conversation during it and usually a few minutes of talk at each end. Pranic healing, crystal work and aura clearing follow a broadly similar shape with different tools and vocabulary. Distance sessions, booked by video or scheduled without you present, are offered by a number of Perth practitioners.

On training and cost: reiki is taught in levels — first degree, second degree, then master — passed on by a teacher rather than examined by a board, so ask who trained the practitioner and when. Nobody in this category is AHPRA-registered and no health fund rebates it, so what you’re quoted is what you pay.
