What to Expect
At Cincinnati Massage for Mental Health, we understand that healing extends beyond the physical body. Sometimes the most profound support comes through quiet, subtle work that helps the nervous system settle and allows the mind to reconnect with the body in meaningful ways.
Our Usui Reiki practitioners offer energy-based healing services that can be seamlessly integrated into your massage session at no additional charge, or experienced as a dedicated standalone treatment. These gentle, intuitive techniques can be woven throughout your bodywork or take center stage for the entire session, depending on your personal goals and what feels most supportive that day.
How it Works
Energy healing modalities like Reiki work by addressing the body's subtle energy systems, promoting balance and supporting the natural healing process. These techniques operate on the principle that physical, emotional, and mental well-being are interconnected through the body's energy field.
Research shows that energy healing practices can have measurable physiological effects, including reduced cortisol levels, decreased anxiety and depression symptoms, and improved heart rate variability—a key marker of nervous system resilience. Studies have also demonstrated Reiki's effectiveness in reducing pain, improving sleep quality, and enhancing overall quality of life.
The gentle, non-invasive nature of these practices activates the parasympathetic nervous system, shifting the body from a state of stress response into one of rest, repair, and restoration. This creates optimal conditions for the body's innate healing mechanisms to function effectively.
During treatment, many clients experience deep relaxation, emotional release, increased clarity, or simply a profound sense of peace and connection. The effects often continue to unfold in the days following your session, supporting ongoing healing and integration.
