Reiki for children is a gentle, non-invasive complementary therapy that can be adapted to each child. Sessions are short, playful and calming, and offered with your child's comfort and consent at the centre.
Book a Child's SessionReiki is naturally calming and is reported to help children unwind and settle more easily at bedtime.
Supports children through worry, fear, anger, sadness and big feelings they cannot always put into words.
Many parents report their child feels safer, more settled and more sure of themselves after sessions.
A calmer child is often better able to concentrate and handle school pressure and life changes.
Children are sensitive to the stress around them, and today many face anxiety, low mood and school or family pressures. Reiki offers a quiet, comforting way to support your child alongside the care they already receive. Sessions are usually shorter than adult sessions and can be play-based, with parents present.
What the research says: a 2022 pilot study (Thrane et al.) gave Reiki to 16 hospitalized children aged 1–5 receiving palliative care. Results were not statistically significant, but showed medium-to-large effect sizes for quality of life, stress, heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygenation, and children often showed relaxation such as quiet sleep after sessions. Larger studies are still needed.
Book a Consultation
Your child can lie down, or play or colour while the practitioner works. Reiki can be hands-on or hands-off, and parents are welcome to stay for younger children. As your child gets comfortable, the way they receive Reiki can change.
Sessions go at your child's pace and only with their consent. Changes are often gradual, so there is no pressure and no fixed expectation.
Reiki works alongside, never instead of, medical care. If your child has a health condition, please speak to their doctor first. Results vary from child to child.
From a single calming session to a bedtime routine at home, choose what suits your family.
