Reiki in Bedford

At Vida Nova Healing, Reiki is offered as a gentle yet powerful practice to restore balance to the body, mind, and soul. Rooted in ancient energy healing techniques and guided by intuition, Reiki sessions are a time for you to soften, release and return to yourself.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, physical tension, emotional overwhelm, or simply feeling out of alignment, Reiki can support you to move through life more grounded, connected and whole.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that works by channeling universal life force energy through the hands. The word Reiki comes from “Rei” meaning universal or spiritual wisdom, and “Ki” meaning life force energy — together often translated as universal light energy. This energy flows to where it's needed, supporting physical healing, emotional balance and energetic alignment.

You remain fully clothed and lying comfortably on a treatment bed. Through light touch or hands hovering above the body, Reiki gently moves through your system to clear blockages and restore flow.

Most clients describe it as a deeply peaceful, nurturing experience, like an energetic reset.

What makes my Reiki sessions unique?

At Vida Nova Healing, your Reiki session is more than energy work, it’s a ritual of reconnection, supported by holistic tools and intuitive insight.

Depending on your needs and preferences, sessions may include:

Crystals to support chakra balance and energy flow
Essential oils used intuitively to calm or ground
A gentle aura cleanse using crystals and Tibetan tingsha bells
An optional oracle card pull for reflection and guidance
A peaceful, private space to fully rest and receive

You’ll also receive a few moments of grounding at the end of the session to integrate, reflect, and leave feeling centred and supported.

Reiki and Sound Healing Session

This is a signature combined session where Reiki is paired with intuitive sound healing, including crystal or tibetan bowls, chimes and drums. This 90-minute offering is ideal if you're feeling emotionally heavy, energetically blocked, or simply in need of a deeper clearing and alignment.

It’s powerful, profound, and deeply restorative.

What can Reiki can help with?

Reiki supports your whole system, from physical tension and emotional heaviness, to mental overwhelm and energetic imbalance.

You might be drawn to Reiki if you’re experiencing:

Stress, anxiety or overwhelm
Sleep issues or burnout
Emotional heaviness or low mood
Feeling disconnected or energetically drained
Chronic tension or post-illness fatigue
A desire for stillness, rest, or reconnection with self

Many clients feel lighter, calmer, more clear-headed and rebalanced after just one session.

Reiki in Bedfordshire

Reiki sessions are held at the beautiful Happy Body Project in Wilstead Bedfordshire, nestled in the heart of the Bedfordshire countryside, just outside of Bedford.

This tranquil location offers the perfect setting to unwind, reconnect, and receive healing in a peaceful, private space. Whether you're coming from Bedford, the surrounding villages, or further across Bedfordshire, you're warmly welcome.

Reiki aftercare and integration

Reiki can continue to work long after your session ends. To support your body and energy in processing the healing, we recommend a few simple aftercare practices:

Stay hydrated – drink plenty of water to support energetic release
Rest where possible – give yourself permission to slow down and soften
Notice how you feel – you may feel lighter, emotional, energised or deeply calm
Journal or reflect – jot down any thoughts, insights or sensations that arise
Avoid overstimulation – limit screen time or social overload if possible

It’s normal to feel shifts over the hours or days after your session. If anything feels intense or unexpected, you're always welcome to get in touch. We’re here to support your integration process with care and compassion.

Frequently Asked Questions...

What should I expect from my first session?

You’ll be welcomed into a calm, private healing space. After a short consultation, you’ll lie down fully clothed on the treatment bed for the Reiki session. I offer a predominently hands off Reiki session, I just lightly touch the head and ankles. You’ll receive Reiki energy, and may also experience crystals, oils, gentle sound and optional oracle guidance, all tailored to you. At the end of your session I will do an aura cleanse. The above will be discussed with you at the beginning of your session and you can decide what you would like for your session.

Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?

No belief is required. Reiki works subtly and gently with your energy system, whether or not you have experience with healing practices. Just come with an open mind and willingness to receive.

Will I feel anything during the session?

Everyone experiences Reiki differently. You may feel warmth, tingling sensations, you may feel light or heavy during the session, you may experience an emotional release, or simply a deep sense of peace. Some people fall asleep. Others feel clearer in the days that follow. Some people may not feel anything at all. Whatever arises is normal. Each Reiki session that you have you will experience something different.

How long is a session?

Standard Reiki sessions are around 1 hour. I offer 30 mins session as a taster session or for those that are limited in time. The combined Reiki & Sound session is 1.5 hours.

How often should I have Reiki?

Some people come for a one-off reset, others return monthly or seasonally. Listen to your body, there is no “right” frequency. However, to feel the long term benefits of Reiki you should have regular sessions. I am always happy to guide you.

Is Reiki safe for everyone?

Reiki is gentle and non-invasive. It’s generally safe for everyone, including children, the elderly and those with chronic illness. However, if you are currently undergoing intensive medical treatment or experiencing acute mental health crises, please consult your GP or get in touch to discuss suitability. Reiki is a complementary therapy and not a substitute for medical care.
