What is Reiki?

A Reiki session offers you a brief pause in time to relax and centre the focus on yourself. Enjoy a stress-relieving sequence of touch that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and at peace. Julia, our Reiki Master at Rooted Family Wellness Centre in Kanata, Ottawa, has over five years of experience practising on children, babies, parents, and individuals alike. Her approach is gentle, calming, and inviting - you don’t need any experience with Reiki to feel comfortable.

Reiki for Parents and Children

Julia is also our Gentle Sleep Consultant and can combine her sleep consultation sessions with Reiki to offer mental and physical balancing through light touch energetic therapy to parents and their little ones. Reiki can be a rejuvenating, relaxing, and pleasant experience for anyone in the family. It is particularly effective for addressing sleep hardships in the household.
